What is the woman looking for?

W: Good morning, Professor James. I’ve come here to look for a part-time job this term. I wonder whether you have any positions open.
M: Yes, as a matter of fact, I need a teaching assistant. What’s your major?
W: American literature.
M: Very good. Have you had any experience in teaching? W: Yes, I had been a teacher of English for five years be fore I came here.
M: Perfect. Now can you help me correct the written work of my undergraduates?
W: I’d be happy to try. It would be very challenging, of course.
M: I should think so, but it’s good for you.
W: Yes. Could you give me some idea about the load?
M: Yes. Altogether 50 students, and I’ll give them written asaignments once every other week. The schedule is up to you as long as you finish the correction before the new written work is assigned.
W: I think I can manage. What’s the pay, if I may ask?
M: $1 250 a month.
W: All right. Thanks a lot.
M: Sure thing. I look forward to working with you.
