商务英语播客 第79课:谈工作经验(上)
This is the first in a two-part Business English Podcast series on talking about your previousexperience. It is one of a longer sequence of podcasts that will focus on the complete jobinterview process.
这是2节系列英语商务课程的第一节，将谈论以前工作的经验。它也是有关完整工作面试进程的系列课程。
When you sit down to start a job interview, more than likely you will be a little nervous. Interviewers have a variety of techniques to get you to relax and to feel at ease. Usually, they will make some small talk and generally try to lighten the atmosphere. One of the biggest mistakes you can make, however, is to interpret this friendliness as an invitation to beinformal.
当你坐下来面试的时候，你很可能会有点紧张。面试官会有很多技巧来让你放松，他们会和你闲谈来缓和气氛。尽管如此，你可能犯一个最大的错误，那就是把面试当作非正式的从而打断这种友善。
Another reason interviewers try to get you to relax is to make you drop your defenses so they can see “the real you.” That’s why successful job hunters will tell you, “Don’t let your guard down!” – that is, don’t lower all your defenses. That is the main message of this lesson – the first of eight themes we’ll be exploring during this and future episodes on the topic of job interviews.
另一个面试官尽力让你放松的原因就是让你放下提防心，以便他们能看到“真正的你”。那就是工程面试者得经验“不要掉以轻心”。那就是我们这节课主要讨论的话题。
In this episode, we’ll be examining a bad example of what not to do. Since previous experience usually comes up at the beginning of an interview, we’ll look at the casual discussion that takes place when an interview starts. Then, in the next episode, we’ll hear a good example, and we’llfocus more closely on further language for highlighting your experience.
这节课中，我们来看一个不应该做的反面例子。因为面试开始时总会问到先前的工作，我们来看下面试开始时的较随便的谈话。然后，在下节课中，我们来听下正面的例子，聚焦下让你的经验增光添彩的语言。
Let’s turn to the listening. In this bad example, Alexander, who has recently graduated with a Master’s degree in philosophy, is being interviewed by Michael for a job as assistant manager in an electronics store.
例子中， Alexander刚取得哲学硕士学位，他正接受一家电子商店经理助理的面试。
Listening Questions:
1) Is everything Alex says to the point?
2) Does he seem overly friendly or informal at times?
3) How does Alex account for the gap in his résumé?
