地道美语听力播客:Making a Good Impression
My interview is today. It is with a marketing company. It is a large corporation with itsheadquarters in San Francisco, CA. It also has satellite offices across the U.S. and in Europe. I'm not sure if this would be the right fit for me, but I'm keeping an open mind .
I got some sound advice from my aunt. She said that I should be confident but not cocky . That means I have to look for opportunities to talk about my qualifications, but don't make the mistake of boasting or worse, making things up . I do that sometimes when I get really nervous. My brain stops working and my mouth takes over.
I need to be respectful but not meek . I want to be professional with everyone, my co-workers and my bosses. But, I don't want them to think that I would let my co-workers walk all over me .
I should show them that I'm a team- player . Nobody likes a person who tries to grab the limelight all of the time, especially if they're new, like me.
Okay, I think I'm ready. I have my resume, my transcript, and the address of the office where I'm going for the interview. Now, all I need are my shoes
