Select the TRUE statement(s) from the list below, based on the dialogue you have just listened to.

There may be more than one correct answer!

At the end of the dialogue, Bruno offers Susie the job.

This is a true statement. Bruno says "you've got the job". This means that he is offering her the position: her application has been successful. The expression "you've got the job" is often used to mean "you're hired" or "we want to offer you this position".

Bruno has a good understanding of British qualifications.

This is a false statement. Throughout the conversation, Bruno asks Susie to explain British peculiarities on her CV or "résumé". For example, he says "there is some weird stuff on your résumé. Apparently you have an "M.Sc." in Strategic Marketing. What exactly is that?". Bruno does not understand the British qualification "M.Sc.", which is a Master of Science, and known as an "M.S." in the USA.

Susie wants to discuss the pay for this position.

This statement is true. At the end of the dialogue, Susie says "what about my salary?". She is asking about her "pay" or "wages": the money she will receive for working at the Delavigne Corporation. Unfortunately for Susie, Bruno seems less interested in discussing this aspect of the job, and he drives away!

This is Susie's first interview for this position.

This statement is not true. Bruno says "after three rounds of interviews, I've determined that you're one of the strongest candidates". A "round" of interviews is a "series" or "set" of interviews, probably involving several candidates. Bruno's statement means that Susie has already had three sets of interviews for this job, and that he thinks she is one of the best candidates.
