1. 1

   A 은지 씨, 오늘 하루 종일 고생 많았어요. 메모한 거 보면서 두 사람 중에 한 명 정해 봐요.

   Eunji ssi, oneul haru jongil gosaeng manasseoyo. Memohan geo bomyeonseo du saram junge han myeong jeonghae bwayo.

   Eunji, thanks for all your hard work today. Let's go through your notes and pick one of the two.

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 네, 과장님. 최종으로 남은 지원자는 김도윤 씨랑 이하람 씨죠.

   Ne, gwajangnim. Choejongeuro nameun jiwonjaneun Kim Doyun ssirang iharam ssijyo.

   Sure. The candidates left in the final round are Kim Doyun and Lee Haram, right?

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 나는 김도윤 씨가 낫다고 봐요. 경력이 오 년이고, 경쟁사에서 같은 일을 했으니까 바로 실무에 투입할 수 있잖아요.

   Naneun Kim Doyun ssiga natdago bwayo. Gyeongnyeogi o nyeonigo, gyeongjaengsaeseo gateun ireul haesseunikka baro silmue tuipal su itjanayo.

   I think Kim Doyun is the better choice. He has five years' experience doing the same job at a competitor, so we could put him straight to work.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 경력은 확실히 좋았어요. 그런데 제 메모를 보면 답변이 거의 다 전 회사 자랑이었어요.

   Gyeongnyeogeun hwaksilhi joasseoyo. Geureonde je memoreul bomyeon dapbyeoni geoui da jeon hoesa jarangieosseoyo.

   His experience was definitely strong. But looking at my notes, almost all his answers were about how great his old company was.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 면접에서 그 정도는 흔한 일이죠. 자기 실적을 보여 주는 거니까요.

   Myeonjeobeseo geu jeongdoneun heunhan irijyo. Jagi siljeogeul boyeo juneun geonikkayo.

   That's normal in an interview. He was showing what he's achieved.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 반면에 이하람 씨는 인턴 경험도 없는 신입인데도 불구하고 답변이 제일 구체적이었어요. 저희 앱 리뷰를 백 개 넘게 읽고 왔대요.

   Banmyeone iharam ssineun inteon gyeongheomdo eomneun sinibindedo bulguhago dapbyeoni jeil guchejeogieosseoyo. Jeohui aep ribyureul baek gae neomge ilgo watdaeyo.

   Lee Haram, on the other hand, is a new graduate without even an internship, and yet her answers were the most specific. She said she'd read over a hundred reviews of our app before coming.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 준비는 잘했더라고요. 근데 준비를 잘하는 거랑 일을 잘하는 건 다르잖아요.

   Junbineun jalhaetdeoragoyo. Geunde junbireul jalhaneun georang ireul jalhaneun geon dareujanayo.

   She was well prepared, I'll give her that. But being well prepared and being good at the job are two different things.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 그렇긴 한데요, 마지막 상황 질문 기억나세요? 고객이 환불을 요구하는 상황이요.

   Geureokin handeyo, majimak sanghwang jilmun gieongnaseyo? Gogaegi hwanbureul yoguhaneun sanghwangiyo.

   That's true, but do you remember the last scenario question? The one with a customer demanding a refund?

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 기억나요. 김도윤 씨는 규정대로 처리하겠다고 했죠.

   Gieongnayo. Kim Doyun ssineun gyujeongdaero cheorihagetdago haetjyo.

   I remember. Kim Doyun said he'd handle it by the book.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 이하람 씨는 규정을 지키면서도 고객이 왜 화가 났는지부터 묻겠다고 했어요. 저는 그게 저희 팀에 제일 필요한 태도라고 생각해요.

    Iharam ssineun gyujeongeul jikimyeonseodo gogaegi wae hwaga nanneunjibuteo mutgetdago haesseoyo. Jeoneun geuge jeohui time jeil piryohan taedorago saenggakaeyo.

    Lee Haram said she'd follow the rules but first ask why the customer was upset. I think that's the attitude our team needs most.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 은지 씨가 이렇게 적극적으로 의견을 내는 건 처음 보는걸요.

    Eunji ssiga ireoke jeokgeukjeogeuro uigyeoneul naeneun geon cheoeum boneungeoryo.

    This is the first time I've seen you speak up so strongly, Eunji.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 아, 죄송해요. 제가 너무 나섰나요?

    A, joesonghaeyo. Jega neomu naseonnayo?

    Oh, sorry. Was I overstepping?

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 아니요, 좋아요. 평가는 원래 이렇게 하는 거예요. 근데 신입을 뽑으면 누가 가르쳐요? 지금 우리 팀 일손이 부족하잖아요.

    Aniyo, joayo. Pyeongganeun wollae ireoke haneun geoyeyo. Geunde sinibeul ppobeumyeon nuga gareuchyeoyo? Jigeum uri tim ilsoni bujokajanayo.

    No, it's good. This is how evaluations are supposed to go. But if we hire a newcomer, who's going to train her? Our team is short-handed as it is.

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 제가 할게요. 저도 입사한 지 일 년밖에 안 돼서, 신입 때 뭐가 힘든지는 누구보다 잘 아는걸요.

    Jega halgeyo. Jeodo ipsahan ji il nyeonbakke an dwaeseo, sinip ttae mwoga himdeunjineun nuguboda jal aneungeoryo.

    I'll do it. I've only been here a year, so I know better than anyone what's hard when you're new.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 흠... 그래도 경력자를 떨어뜨리는 건 부담이 커요. 팀장님도 전문성 있는 사람을 원하셨고요.

    Heum... geuraedo gyeongnyeokjareul tteoreotteurineun geon budami keoyo. Timjangnimdo jeonmunseong inneun sarameul wonhasyeotgoyo.

    Hmm... Still, turning down the experienced one is a tough call. And the team leader wanted someone with expertise.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 그럼 두 사람 평가표를 같이 올리고, 이하람 씨 쪽에는 제 추천 의견을 따로 붙이면 어떨까요?

    Geureom du saram pyeonggapyoreul gachi olligo, iharam ssi jjogeneun je chucheon uigyeoneul ttaro buchimyeon eotteolkkayo?

    Then how about we submit both evaluation sheets and I attach a separate recommendation for Lee Haram?

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 좋아요. 대신 추천 이유는 느낌 말고 면접 답변 중심으로 써요. 근거가 있어야 설득력이 있어요.

    Joayo. Daesin chucheon iyuneun neukkim malgo myeonjeop dapbyeon jungsimeuro sseoyo. Geungeoga isseoya seoldeungnyeogi isseoyo.

    All right. But base your reasons on her interview answers, not your impressions. It needs evidence to be convincing.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 네, 답변을 거의 그대로 받아 적은 메모가 있어서 금방 쓸 수 있어요.

    Ne, dapbyeoneul geoui geudaero bada jeogeun memoga isseoseo geumbang sseul su isseoyo.

    Okay. I wrote her answers down almost word for word, so I can write it quickly.

    Line 18
19. 19

    A 메모를 꼼꼼하게 한 보람이 있네요. 내일 아침까지 부탁해요. 나는 김도윤 씨 쪽 이유를 정리해 둘게요.

    Memoreul kkomkkomhage han borami inneyo. Naeil achimkkaji butakaeyo. Naneun Kim Doyun ssi jjok iyureul jeongnihae dulgeyo.

    Your careful notes paid off. Please have it ready by tomorrow morning. I'll put together the case for Kim Doyun.
