The interviewee’s current job is Is the interviewee satisfied with the current salary?

Woman: OK, I’d like to ask you a few questions about what you do. What is your current occupation? Do you work or study?
Man: I’m working for a computer web designing company. It’s a fairly large local company in Shanghai which specializes in designing websites for joint ventures and wholly owned foreign enterprises. Most of our clients are from Shanghai, but we also get a lot of clients from Shenzhen and a few from Beijing.
Woman: Uh…huh…and what are some of your responsibilities? Tell me something about a typical day at work.
Man: Well, what I have to do is give the basic instructions to the junior staff about what I basically want to see in the web design, and so I have to ensure the job is done right. So, I guess you can say I’m in charge of the planning, but I do not do any of the actual manual work of programming. So most of the day I am either writing up plans, communicating them to the staff or checking through what they have done.
Woman: What are some of the things you like about your work?
Man: Well, it is creative and interesting and there is always a way to do it better. The best thing about my work is that it generally pleases the people when it is done well, so you can get immediate feedback. Also, to be frank, the pay is pretty good—I mean, you work hard but your salary at the end of the month is a lot better than what a lot of others are making.
Woman: That sounds very exciting. Are there any things about your job that you don’t like so much?
Man: Well. do people in the computer field ever go home on time? Not often. The hours are long and the deadlines are quite tight, because the customers often have no concept about how much actual labor is involved. They say they need it by a certain date, and will tell us directly that if we can’t get it done they wilt go to our competitors. So it’s not unusual for me to be working until midnight in my office, which my family doesn’t exactly like.
Woman: Good.
