B: Good morning, Melinda. This is Jim Williams, the HR Director at Professional Computers, Inc. I am calling to follow up about the employment offer I sent you last week. I hope you’ve had time to consider our offer. I was wondering if you had any questions or if you’ve come to a decision?

A: Well, the position and areas of responsibility are an excellent fit with both my skills and my career goals. But I do have a few questions, yes. I’m happy with the base salary you’re offering, but I wanted to ask about performance bonuses. Also, do you have overtime pay?

A: 嗯，职位及工作职责和我的技能及职业目标都完全相符。但是我还有一些问题，没错，我对底薪很满意，但是我想问问绩效奖励的问题。另外，你们有加班费吗？
