Part Four: Monologue
“Nowadays the job market is more competitive than ever. Many people are searching for jobs and every one of them is hoping for the best job possible. Therefore, to some people the process of applying for a job can be nerve-wracking and incredibly difficult. In order to stand apart from the other applicants during the process, one must make oneself noticeable. Employers see great value in the skills that a potential employee might bring – and the more skills, the more valuable the applicant. It is also helpful to dazzle them with one’s dedication and desire for self-improvement. In this competitive world, every little bit counts.”
現在的人才市場比以往競爭更加激烈。很多人都在找工作,每個人也都渴望找到盡可能好的工作。因此,對于一些人來說,找工作的過程既令人頭疼也有著無法想象的難度。在應聘過程中,為了與其他的應聘者區別開來,就必須做到引人注目。雇主會從未來的雇員身上所具備的技能來挖掘價值——應聘者具備的技能越多便越有價值。如果你能憑借奉獻精神同時具有自我提高的渴望引起雇主贊嘆的話,則更有助于你的應聘。在這個競爭激烈的世界,小異都會帶來大不同。
