Job Application Dialogue: Beginner
今天我們為您播出美語三級跳節目“找工作”單元的初級課程。
Toby 剛剛大學畢業，急著找工作，不過他遇到了一個大問題，我們一起聽聽看。
Denise: Hi Toby, how are you doing? You don't look very well.
Toby: Hey Denise. I'm just sad because I can't find a job.
Denise: Yeah, it's hard to find a job right now. You need to have a really great resume.
Toby: That's the problem. I don't have a resume yet!
Denise: Really? Well that's OK. I'll help you make one. 原來，Toby 目前最大的障礙是沒有一份出色的resume, r-e-s-u-m-e, resume, 簡歷!
Professor: Yes, Winnie, without a resume he can't find a job. That's why he said he's upset. 不過，Denise 真夠朋友，立刻主動提出愿意幫助Toby，給他支支招，寫出一份好簡歷。
Denise: First I need you to tell me what kind of experience you have.
Toby: Well I just graduated from college, so I don't have much work experience.
Denise: Did you have any part-time jobs in college?
Toby: Well, I worked at the campus book store one day per week.
Denise: Great! You can say you have lots of sales experience.
Professor: So Winnie, how does Toby describe his work experience?
他說，自己剛剛大學畢業，沒什么工作經驗。不過他以前曾經在學校書店有個 part-time job，打過零工，一個禮拜上一天班。
Professor: Exactly. Students have to study a lot, so usually they don't have time for full-time jobs.
不過，Denise好象是個寫簡歷的老手，特別懂得寫簡歷的秘訣!
Prof: And what's that? 一個字——吹! 寫簡歷的時候最忌諱謙虛。雖然Toby一個禮拜只上一天班，可Denise卻讓他在簡歷中寫自己有 ǒextensive experience in salesō——豐富的銷售經驗!
Denise: So Toby, can you tell me exactly what you did at the book store?
Toby: There wasn't much work for me to do, so I just played on the Internet all day.
Denise: Oh! So you have strong computer skills! What else did you do?
Toby: Hmm .... I also talked with my co-workers a lot.
Denise: Great! Strong communication and people skills!
Professor: So Winnie, did you hear what Toby did at his job?
他說書店那份工作其實很悠閑，沒什么事可做，所以他就成天上網。
Professor: Right. But I'm not sure he should put that on his resume.
這個您就別擔心啦! 沒聽Denise說么，在網上瞎逛代表 ǒgood computer skills"——擅長使用電腦。唉，這牛吹的!
Professor: I agree. What else did Toby do at his job?
他還老跟同事聊天。不過到了Denise 嘴里，這也成了優點，叫 good communication and people skills——良好的溝通和人際交往能力! 我看等這份簡歷寫出來，連Toby自己都不敢相信自己竟然真的這么出色!
Denise: Alright, now tell me about your educational experience.
Toby: I majored in English.
Denise: Well ... did you learn anything about business when you were at college?
Toby: Hmm ... well when I graduated, I sold some of my old books to a friend.
Denise: Perfect! You have done some sales and have experience in customer service.
Toby: Wow! I never realized I had so much work experience!
Toby 在大學的專業是ǒ英文ō。這么說他應該沒有學過什么商業管理的知識吧。
Professor: That's true. But did he learn about business in another way?
我可不覺得！不過，Denise真是很會扯，她聽說Toby在畢業的時候把幾本舊書賣給了朋友，就說他有sales and customer service experience——銷售和客戶服務經驗!
Professor: Well do you think this resume will help Toby get some interviews?
簡歷寫得這么唬人，得到面試的機會八成沒問題！不過，等用人單位發現Toby只是在簡歷上吹牛的時候，大概就離炒他魷魚不遠了!
A: 這簡歷可真有點唬人: Denise聽說Toby曾經在書店打零工，就寫上了extensive experience in sales 豐富的銷售經驗，玩電腦變成了strong computer skills 擅長使用電腦，跟同事聊天竟然是good communication and people skills, 良好的溝通和人際交往能力！這牛吹的都沒邊了！
B: Hahaha, that's a little bit too much. But in the business world, you really DO need to know how to sell yourself! With a resume like this, I bet Toby can at least make it out to a real interview.
A: Yeah that’s true. 找工作是第一步，要是真的進入商業界，誠信很重要，不過銷售技巧也很重要！今天的business etiquette里，銷售人員繼續進行他們的brainstorm,頭腦風暴，我們趕快來聽聽看！
