大家好我是昊宇歡迎收聽BBC 英語教學(xué)推出的新系列《白領(lǐng)英語》。這辦公室里的故事將為他家提供很多職場技巧。

在接下來的幾分鐘里我?guī)愕絺惗刈畲蟮乃芰纤局?Tip Top 貿(mào)易公司參觀。 你將認(rèn)識那里的幾位職員，公司的生意可全靠這些人的辛勤努力了。

快來吧，咱們一起偷著聽聽這位可能成為Tip Top 貿(mào)易公司新職員的求職者是怎么應(yīng)對面試的。我說“可能”的意思就是，她眼下仍在為申請銷售員的職位接受面試呢。能不能通過，誰也說不準(zhǔn)…

Anna:Firstly, this job is an ideal match for my skills and experience: I've spent several years working in sales and I get on with people easily. Well, I mean, apart from the ones I don't like of course!... Secondly, I know Tip Top Trading is one of the fastest-growing companies in London, and I want to be part of that.

Paul:That's absolutely right. Tip Top Trading is the fastest-growing company in the plastic fruits sector.

Anna! 說得好！我敢肯定如果她被錄用一定會成為該公司的棟梁之才。不過決策人是經(jīng)理Paul , 我們剛才已經(jīng)聽到他說話了。他是個很不錯的人，只不過是工作上有點兒缺乏條理，但是在業(yè)務(wù)上出了問題的時候，他得站出來說話負(fù)責(zé)，你聽…

Paul:Yesterday was not a great day. Two clients came in with serious complaints. Mrs Kumquat received a delivery of imitation bananas that were purple – not very convincing, and Mr Lime ordered grapefruits, but got pineapples. Tom!

Tom:Yeah, listen...

Paul:Were you responsible for these errors?

Tom:Well... yes, but -

Paul:Look, mistakes happen. But it seems that Mrs Kumquat left our offices even angrier than when she came in and she says she will never use Tip Top Trading again!

Tom:I tried my best.

Paul:Hmmm.

說得好 Tom! 我還來沒來得及介紹Tom 了，他是公司的銷售總管，很能干。

Tom:(on phone) Tom speaking. Yah! Frankie! So what's the latest, are we on?

不過他的人際交流能力需要提高，不信你聽。

Tom:My computer has crashed. I've lost my phone. And there's a big, BIG problem with my timetable. I have two meetings scheduled at the same time with two extremely important clients. I can't do them both at once!

我說得沒錯吧！我們都知道每個辦公室都需要有一位能干的助理，那Tip Top 也不例外了，這位助理就是 Denise， 她的工作包括協(xié)助，組織，還有沏茶倒水…

Denise:Oh sorry excuse me, here's your tea Paul.

Paul:Thanks Denise.

不過有一點。Denise 特別喜歡說話But goodness! She likes to talk…

Denise:Really! "Denise do this! Denise do that!" I'm telling you Sharon, I've almost had enough! I get treated like I'm some kind of servant!

那就是典型的 Denise! 我覺得咱們該走了，好讓他們繼續(xù)工作。你剛剛聽到的就是 Tip Top Trading. 日后我們還會認(rèn)識更多人，所以歡迎你登陸我們的網(wǎng)站. 跟隨我們的《白領(lǐng)英語》系列。我們下次再會！
