M: Good morning, Mrs. Thomson.
W: Oh, Mr. Minizuka. Please come in and sit down. I want to talk to you about something that has come up.
M: What’s up? Anyway, I’ll be glad to help you with anything I can.
W: Some advice, Mr. Minizuka. I have been offered a new job.
M: A new job?
W: As a matter of fact, it isn’t the bank in New York.
M: It’s the offer from another bank?
W: It’s from the international bank for reconstruction and development in Washington.
M: You mean the World Bank?
W: That’s right. And it’s really very unexpected, I must say.
M: You’ve established reputation in international banking circles. May I ask what kind of position they’ve offered you?
W: A rather important one, as a matter of fact, deputy director of the international finance corporation.
M: Isn’t that the part of the bank that makes loans to private companies in the developing countries?
W: Yes, it is. It’s a job that certainly offers a chance for public service.
M: It seems to me that it’s a real honor for you.
W: Yes, it is. But I’ve been with this bank for so many years. Ever since I graduated from college, in fact.
M: But it’s an honor for the bank, too, for the training and experience it’s given you.
W: Yes, I suppose I can think of it that way.
M: Then, you’ve decided to accept the offer?
W: Probably, yes. Almost certainly. I’d like to think I can do some work that will contribute to international cooperation and understanding.
