Simultaneous with my efforts to get work with a private school, I had been finishing work on my bachelor's degree and working in the Pitzer dining hall. The enthusiasm of the food-service director was contagious and, to my surprise, I almost enjoyed my job in spite of its rather menial nature.
與努力在私立中學(xué)求職的同時(shí),我還在完成學(xué)士學(xué)位要做的工作,并在皮澤學(xué)院的餐廳打工。食品部主任的工作熱情很有感染力,使我驚奇的是,我居然很喜歡我的工作,盡管它相當(dāng)乏味。
One Saturday afternoon, when I was bemoaning my dim employment prospects to my boss, he suggested that I look into what he was doing: food-service management. Since the work entailed both challenge and responsibility, things people are supposed to thrive on, I decided to pursue his suggestion. What did I have to lose?
一個(gè)星期六的下午,當(dāng)我向我的老板哀嘆我暗淡的就業(yè)前景時(shí),他建議我調(diào)查一下他正在從事的行當(dāng):飲食業(yè)管理。由于這種工作既有挑戰(zhàn)性又需要責(zé)任心,而挑戰(zhàn)和責(zé)任心正是人們賴以興旺發(fā)達(dá)的東西,我便決定遵循他的建議。我還有什么可失去的呢?
I had interviews with people ranging all the way from my supervisor's boss to the regional vice president of the company that ran dining halls at Pitzer and at a number of other schools.The interviews went well, and I was later told that I had nothing to worry about.
我拜訪了各種各樣的人,從我的主管人的老板到經(jīng)營(yíng)皮澤學(xué)院和其他一些學(xué)校餐廳的那家公司的地區(qū)副總裁。這些訪談進(jìn)行得很順利,后來他們告訴我,我沒有什么好擔(dān)心的。
