Welcome Aboard! 歡迎加入(Part 1 of 5)
A big challenge for any company is finding good staff. Harvey Walker knows all about that. He needs a replacement for his right-hand man, Tom Wilson. Tom left Walker Publications and took a new job in another city. Tom enjoyed his job at Walker Publications and wasn't looking for a change. But one day a headhunter approached him with a very interesting proposition. A company in California needed a manager with Tom's qualifications. The position offered greater responsibility and higher pay. Tom applied and got the job.
雇用好的人才對任何公司而言都是一大挑戰。哈維‧沃克對此相當了解。他需要找一個人來取代他的得力助手湯姆‧威爾森。湯姆離開了沃克出版公司，到另外一個城市工作。湯姆喜歡在沃克出版公司工作，原本他並不想找新工作。但是有一天一位人力資源顧問提供他一個不錯的工作機會。一家位於加州的公司需要一位像湯姆這樣的經理人才。這個職位負責的事情較多而且薪水較高。湯姆去應徵並獲得了這個工作。

Conversation 1
(in Harvey's office, the telephone rings)
Harvey: Yes, Suzie?
Suzie: Mr. Walker, it's time for your appointment with the sales rep from BMI Auto. May I send him in?
Harvey: The BMI sales rep? What does he want?
Suzie: BMI is supplying the new company cars, remember? You were going to finalize the details today.
Harvey: Oh, yes. Listen, I'm very busy. Can't Tom take care of this?
Suzie: Uh, Mr. Walker, Tom's gone. Friday was his last day, remember?
Harvey: Oh, yes. Nuts! I sure wish he were still here.
Suzie: (sigh) Me, too.

哈維：有什麼事嗎，蘇西？
蘇西：沃克先生，您和BMI 汽車公司的業務員約定見面的時間已經到了。我可以請他進去嗎？
哈維：BMI 的業務員？他找我有什麼事呢？
蘇西：BMI 要賣新公務車給我們，記得嗎？您今天要把最後的細節敲定。
哈維：喔，對。可是我很忙。可以請湯姆處理這件事嗎？
蘇西：可是沃克先生，湯姆已經離職了。他工作到上星期五，您記得嗎？

Harvey: (to himself) I need to replace Tom, fast. We're headed for trouble without a good manager. (dials phone)
Suzie: (picking up phone) Yes, Mr. Walker?
Harvey: Suzie, did you call that executive search agency?
Suzie: Yes, weeks ago, Mr. Walker. As soon as Tom announced his resignation.
Harvey: And did you place ads in the newspaper and in our magazines?
Suzie: Yes, Mr. Walker. And we're advertising with an on-line service, too.
Harvey: Do we have any good applications yet?
Suzie: Not really. (looking through mail) Oh, looks like one more just arrived. I'll bring it in.
會話二
哈維：（自言自語）我需要儘快找到人取代湯姆。缺少一個好的經理人才會讓我們陷入麻煩。（打電話）
蘇西：（拿起電話）沃克先生，有什麼事嗎？
哈維：蘇西，妳有沒有打電話給那家人力顧問公司？
蘇西：有，是幾個星期前，沃克先生。湯姆一宣布離職時就已經連絡了。
哈維：妳有沒有在報紙和我們的雜誌上登求才廣告？
蘇西：有，沃克先生。另外我們也在一個網站登廣告。
哈維：我們已經有合適的求職者嗎？
蘇西：還沒有。（閱讀信件）喔，看來有一份剛到，我現在就拿進去給您。

(Suzie brings the envelope)
Harvey: Thank you, Suzie.
(Susie leaves)
Harvey: (reading) Hmmm. Local guy... good education... good experience. Looks as if he has some publishing skills, too. Nice résumé! (dials phone) Suzie, please set up an interview with this applicant, Frank Carson. And let's check his references.
That Friday, Harvey Walker interviewed Frank Carson. Harvey asked Frank about his work experience, his strengths and weaknesses, and his goals. Frank had some questions, too, concerning the company and the job. He also asked about the terms of employment, such as pay and benefits.

（蘇西把信封拿進來）
哈維：謝謝妳，蘇西。
（蘇西離開）
哈維：（閱讀）嗯，本地人……好學歷……好經驗。看來好像也有從事出版工作的能力。這份履歷表很不錯。（撥電話）蘇西，請為這位求職者法蘭克‧卡爾森安排面試，另外我們也要確認他的推薦函。
那個星期五，哈維‧沃克面試了法蘭克‧卡爾森。哈維問了法蘭克的工作經驗，他的優、缺點和工作目標。法蘭克也有一些關於公司及職務上的問題，他又問了雇用條件，如薪資及福利的相關問題。

Harvey: If we offered you the job, when could you start?
Frank: In one month at the earliest. I have to give a month's notice to my present employer.
Harvey: In that case, I'll get right to the point. I think you're a good fit for this company and this position. I'd like to offer you the job. What do you say?
Frank: Thank you very much, Mr. Walker. I accept. I think Walker Publications will be a great place to work.
