What kind of training does one need to go into this type of job?
從事這種工作需要什么類型的培訓(xùn)?
That's a very good question. I don't think there is any, specifically.
這是一個(gè)好問題。我不認(rèn)為有任何特別的培訓(xùn)。
For example, in your case, what was your educational background?
例如,根據(jù)你的情況,你的教育背景是什么?
Well, I did a degree in French at Nottingham. After that, I did careers work in secondary schools, like the careers guidance people here in the university.
我在法國諾丁漢取得學(xué)位。之后我在中學(xué)工作,就像在大學(xué)里做就業(yè)指導(dǎo)。
Then I went into local government because I found I was more interested in the administrative side than progressed on to universities. So there wasn't any plan and there was no specific training.
之后我去了地方政府,因?yàn)槲野l(fā)現(xiàn)我更感興趣的是行政方面而不是在大學(xué)。因此沒有任何計(jì)劃并沒有接受具體的培訓(xùn)。
There are plenty of training courses in management techniques and committee work which you can attend now.

But in the first place, you did a French degree.

In my time, there wasn't a degree you could do for administration. I think most of the administrators I've come across have degrees or all sorts of things.
我沒有關(guān)于行政方面的學(xué)位,我認(rèn)為我碰到的大部分行政人員有這方面的各種學(xué)歷資質(zhì)。
Well, I know in my case, I did an English literature degree and I didn't really expect to end up doing what I am doing now.
就我而言,我有一個(gè)英語文學(xué)學(xué)位,但我不希望一生都做我現(xiàn)在做的事。
Quite.
同意。
But you are local to Nottingham actually? Is there any reason why you went to Nottingham University?
但你是諾丁漢人?為什么你要去諾丁漢上大學(xué)?
No, no. I come from the north of England, from west Yorkshire. Nottingham was one of the universities I put on my list, and I like the look of it. The campus is just beautiful.
不,我來自英格蘭北部,西約克郡。諾丁漢是我寫在表格上的一個(gè)大學(xué),我喜歡那里美麗的校園。
