Mike: I think my company is hiring. Are you interested?
Lisa: Yeah, that would be great! Is it difficult to get a job there?

Lisa: No, I'm just looking for a part-time job.
Mike: OK. I'll talk to HR tomorrow and have them contact you. They will probably want to have a phone interview.
Lisa: OK, thank you, Mike.
Mike: No problem. Let me know when they contact you.
