1. Manager

   Good morning, Selam. Please have a seat.

   እንደምን አደሩ ሰላም። እባክዎ ይቀመጡ።

2. Selam

   Good morning. Thank you for inviting me.

   እንደምን አደሩ። ስለጋበዙኝ አመሰግናለሁ።

3. Manager

   Can you tell me a little about yourself?

   ስለ ራስዎ ትንሽ ሊነግሩኝ ይችላሉ?

4. Selam

   Of course. I studied accounting at Hawassa University, and I've worked at a small import company for three years.

   በእርግጥ። በሀዋሳ ዩኒቨርሲቲ የሒሳብ አያያዝ ተምሬያለሁ፤ በአንድ አነስተኛ የገቢ ንግድ ድርጅትም ለሦስት ዓመታት ሠርቻለሁ።

5. Manager

   Why do you want to leave your current job?

   አሁን ያሉበትን ሥራ ለምን መልቀቅ ፈለጉ?

6. Selam

   I've learned a lot there, but I'm looking for more responsibility.

   እዚያ ብዙ ተምሬያለሁ፤ ግን ተጨማሪ ኃላፊነት እየፈለግሁ ነው።

7. Manager

   Which accounting software can you use?

   የትኞቹን የሒሳብ ሶፍትዌሮች መጠቀም ይችላሉ?

8. Selam

   I use Excel every day, and I've also used Peachtree.

   Excel በየቀኑ እጠቀማለሁ፤ Peachtreeንም ተጠቅሜበታለሁ።

9. Manager

   Good. When could you start?

   ጥሩ። መቼ መጀመር ይችላሉ?

10. Selam

    I need to give one month's notice, so I could start next month.

    የአንድ ወር ቅድመ ማስታወቂያ መስጠት ስላለብኝ በሚቀጥለው ወር መጀመር እችላለሁ።

11. Manager

    Thank you, Selam. We'll contact you by Friday.

    አመሰግናለሁ ሰላም። እስከ ዓርብ እናሳውቅዎታለን።

12. Selam

    Thank you. I look forward to hearing from you.

    አመሰግናለሁ። ከእርስዎ ለመስማት በጉጉት እጠብቃለሁ።
