Part Four: Monologue

I work in the human resources department of my company, and it is often my responsibility to hire new employees. When trying to fill open positions within the company, I have certain qualities that I look for in a potential employee. Are they dedicated and hard working? Are they willing to be trained? Do their interests and career goals match those of the company? It’s difficult choosing the right candidate and I want to be sure that both the company and the employee will benefit from one another. Relevant experience and educational background are important as well, but there is more required in finding the best person for the job.

--Steve Peters, Human Resources Division

我在公司的人力資源部工作，我的工作職責通常是招聘新的員工。當公司有空缺需要招聘人員的時候，我會留意在未來的員工身上是否有以下的品質：他們是否敬業？是否工作努力？他們是否樂意接受培訓？他們的興趣和事業目標是否與公司的一致？招到合適的人選不容易，我也希望能夠確保公司和員工之間能夠雙方受益。招聘最合適的人擔任某項工作，相關的經驗和教育背景很重要，但是還有更多的要求。
