Transcript

Manager: So, we are here to do a salary review. Why don’t we start the process with you telling me a bit about your work with the company so far?

Kim: Sure. So, I started working here 3 years ago, in the marketing department. I designed a new logo for the women’s sportswear range. Last year I delivered some training on branding to the sales team.

Manager: Great! Tell me more about your training activities.

Kim: Recently I have organised a marketing workshop for the design team. Since last summer, I have collaborated with five other departments in the company to develop an improved marketing plan.

Manager: And what are you doing now?

Kim: Right now, I am collaborating with a client to develop a new line of men’s tennis clothes. At the moment, I am also organising a media event to launch this range.

Manager: When is this event going to take place?

Kim: The event is going to take place next spring.

Manager: Exciting! And what do you see in your future?

Kim: I think I will be able to manage a design team of my own, maybe in two years. I would like to develop a range of children’s sports shoes.

Manager: Very interesting. Well, I think you’ve made a strong case for a salary review. Your activities have been of great value to the company so I think we can consider a pay rise, if not a promotion.
