3. Conversational Roleplay Script


Recruiter

“We are absolutely thrilled to offer you the position. We have set the base package at ninety thousand dollars.”

हम आपको यह पद और सालाना पैकेज ऑफर करके बहुत उत्साहित हैं।

Candidate

“Thank you so much. I am very excited about the team. Given my experience, is there some room to negotiate the base salary?”

ऑफर के लिए धन्यवाद। क्या हम बेस सैलरी पर थोड़ी चर्चा कर सकते हैं?

Recruiter

“That base rate is within our standard band for this role. What target figure did you have in mind?”

आमतौर पर यह हमारी सीमा है, लेकिन आपका लक्ष्य क्या है?

Candidate

“Based on my industry certifications, I was hoping to align the package closer to ninety-eight thousand. Would that be possible?”

मैं इस पैकेज को बाजार की दरों के साथ संरेखित करना चाहूँगा।

Recruiter

“I will need to get sign-off from our finance director. Let me see what I can do and I will get back to you tomorrow.”

मुझे इसे फाइनेंस टीम से अनुमति लेनी होगी। मैं कल तक आपको बताऊँगा।

Candidate

“That sounds fair. I really appreciate your advocacy on this. I look forward to hearing from you.”

बहुत बढ़िया, मैं आपके उत्तर का इंतज़ार करूँगा। धन्यवाद!
