Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking business cultures, showing openness with *abierto* or *dispuesto* signals professionalism and respect. If you are a woman, change the adjective to *abierta* (e.g., “estoy abierta”). Also, the word *términos* can refer to contract clauses, salary conditions, or any negotiated points, so be clear about the context to avoid ambiguity.
