レベッカ・ウィンターズさんとの最終面接について認識合わせをしたく、17日の14:00に打ち合わせを設定させていただきました。ウィンターズさんは最有力候補であると思われるため、我が社との相性を確認するために綿密に準備したいと思っております。

Hello everyone! Welcome to E-mail Picks. You know, these days our company is focusing

0:00:09.960,0:00:14.730
on hiring. So the product development
department, which is my department, may

0:00:14.730,0:00:19.800
finally get a new person starting from
next January. So we haven't had a new

0:00:19.800,0:00:25.740
person since... since 2016. So I was the
last new guy. So this is very exciting

0:00:25.740,0:00:30.000
news for us. But of course it all depends
on whether the job candidate decides

0:00:30.000,0:00:34.620
that she wants to join us and our
company decides that we want her to join.

0:00:34.620,0:00:38.850
There's a final job interview coming up
very soon, so this will be a very, very

0:00:38.850,0:00:43.469
important event for both sides. So what I'd like to do today is set up a meeting

0:00:43.469,0:00:49.079
with our HR person to go over the points
to check about the candidate. That's the

0:00:49.079,0:00:53.399
purpose of this meeting, and I need to
communicate it to him. So let me show you

0:00:53.399,0:00:56.059
what that e-mail will look like. Here goes.

0:00:56.059,0:01:00.930
Hello Katagiri-san, Thank you for keeping
me company during lunch the other day. I

0:01:00.930,0:01:05.189
have scheduled a meeting with you on the
17th at 2:00 p.m. This is to make sure

0:01:05.189,0:01:08.670
we are on the same wavelength regarding
the final job interview with Rebecca

0:01:08.670,0:01:12.900
Winters. I figured Rebecca is a strong
candidate and we should do our best to

0:01:12.900,0:01:16.710
see if she is a good match for the
company. It shouldn't take long - maybe 15

0:01:16.710,0:01:22.979
minutes. Thanks! OK. I started out with a
little small talk Katagiri-san and I

0:01:22.979,0:01:27.150
went out for lunch two days ago.
And "Thank you for keeping me company"

0:01:27.150,0:01:32.850
i's just another way to say "Thank you
for spending time with me." Then, I told

0:01:32.850,0:01:37.590
him that I had set up a meeting and
explained the purpose of it. "Make sure we

0:01:37.590,0:01:42.030
are on the same wavelength" is another
way to say "make sure we have the same

0:01:42.030,0:01:46.710
understanding." It's an idiom. And finally,
I ended the email by setting

0:01:46.710,0:01:51.420
expectations on how long it should take.
So there you go. An e-mail to communicate

0:01:51.420,0:01:56.009
the purpose of the meeting. So wish me
luck with the interview. That's it for

0:01:56.009,0:01:59.719
today. Thanks for watching and I'll see
you next week.
