When it comes time to getting that new promotion, who is more qualified for the position? Is it the person who's been there the longest? Or is it the person who has the most drive and ambition to make it to the top? In this lesson, learn how to talk about your qualifications and compare yourself to other people.
At the end of this lesson you'll be able to:
Liz: Congratulations! I heard you were in line for the new promotion.
Phyllis: You heard right.
Liz: Did you know that Michelle was up for the same position?
Phyllis: What?! No way! She's not nearly as qualified as I am. And besides, I have seniority.
Liz: Well, you may have been here longer than she has, but she is a lot more ambitious than you are.
Phyllis: Phphph! Whatever. I got this job in the bag.
TRADUÇÃO
Liz: Parabéns! Eu ouvi que você estava para ser promovida.
Phyllis: Você ouviu certo.
Liz: Você sabia que a Michelle estava sendo cogitada para a mesma posição?
Phyllis: O que?! Impossível! Ela não tem nem de perto a mesma qualificação que eu. E além disso, eu estou a mais tempo na empresa.
Liz: Bem, você pode estar aqui a mais tempo que ela, mas ela é muito mais ambiciosa do que você.
Phyllis: Phphph! Que seja. Esse emprego já é meu.
