Before a call: the scenario 'ask boss for time off' with three things to try, while the call connects

A line to open with

you

hi, thank you for the offer. i'd like to accept.

What to cover

  1. Thank them and say yes clearly
  2. Confirm the salary and the start date
  3. Ask what happens next and when the paperwork arrives
  4. Ask who to contact if you have questions

Worth knowing

  • If anything in the offer is unclear, ask before you accept.
  • Repeat the salary and start date back so both sides hear the same numbers.
  • Wait for the written offer before you resign from your current job.

Rehearse it once first

This call is not one of murmur's built-in scenarios, so write it as your own: say who answers and what you want from the call, and murmur plays the other side. Afterwards you see which goals you hit.
