Hello. Welcome to the [vocab word=interview]interview[/vocab].
(2) Caroline: Listen
Thanks for having me.
(3) Interviewer: Listen
Please tell me your experience in sales.

(5) Interviewer: Listen
Tell me about your experience in Scottville Machinery.
(6) Caroline: Listen
I worked for Scottville for 2 years. I was a sales associate and I sold [vocab word=various]various[/vocab] industrial tools in the store.
(7) Interviewer: Listen
That was your first job.
(8) Caroline: Listen
Yes. I had never worked in sales before that job, so I worked really hard to sell the products.
(9) Interviewer: Listen
Tell me about your second sales job.
(10) Caroline: Listen
Sure. I had learned a lot of sales [vocab word=technique]techniques[/vocab] from the first job, so I was ready for my second job at MGX Cranes.
(11) Caroline: Listen
My sales numbers were quite good in the company. In fact, I received a [vocab word=special]special[/vocab] sales [vocab word=award]award[/vocab] in my second year.
(12) Interviewer: Listen
Tell me more about the award.
(13) Caroline: Listen
Yes. The company made a special award and gave it to me at the end of the year. I had been selling more than a million dollars a month for twelve months ...

"A million dollars a month" means $1,000,000 / month.

(14) Interviewer: Listen
Wow.
(15) Caroline: Listen
... and nobody had ever done that in the company. So, they gave me a special award. They even named it after me: "Caroline Benson Award".

"Named it after me" means the company gave her name "Caroline Benson" to the award. They called the award "Caroline Benson Award".

(16) Interviewer: Listen
That is amazing. Where do you see yourself in 12 months?

This question means "What will you be doing after 12 months?"

(17) Caroline: Listen
I see myself as a sales [vocab word=leader]leader[/vocab] in your company. I believe I have the [vocab word=ambition]ambition[/vocab] to [vocab word=succeed]succeed[/vocab]. In 12 months, I will have trained my team to sell a million dollars a month. I will have made your company the number 1 [vocab word=construction]construction[/vocab] [vocab word=equipment]equipment[/vocab] [vocab word=supplier]supplier[/vocab] in Northwest.

"I will have trained ..." is in future perfect tense. Caroline is making a prediction. She thinks she can train her team members to sell $1,000,000 within a year.

(18) Interviewer: Listen
Thank you. That'll be all for the interview. Do you have any questions?
(19) Caroline: Listen
Not at this moment.
(20) Interviewer: Listen
Okay. I have to talk to my CEO. But, just between you and me, I think you got the job.

"Between you and me" means "It's not official; don't tell anybody; but ..." The interviewer hasn't talked to the CEO, so he can't tell other people that Caroline got the job.
