apparent ~ approximate

   To appeal to an employer, the applicant decided to apply in person, rather than wait to be offered an appointment. She didn't appreciate that her sudden appearance might not be appreciated. The employer was in the appliance industry. He didn't approve of her approach and said that if he was going to appoint anybody, there must be a written application. He said he needed to decied whether an interview would be applicable and if so, he could then make an approximate time to see her. He added that she could not expect to appropriate his time or approximate his staff in the way she did . The staff immediately broke into loud applause. They thought this would be a way to gain his approval, because the employer had a huge appetite for new experiences. They didn't expect that he also had na apparent dislike of not being in control. To all appearances it seemed that no appeal would be possible now, to have the employer approach this situation in her favor. However, he then said that because she had appropriate experience, he would give her a job on approval for 2 weeks.

   為了使自己更有吸引力，一位申請人決定親自前往申請工作，而不是坐等約定見面。她沒有意識到她的突然出現可能不被賞識。雇主從事的是器具行業。他不贊成她的方式并告訴她如果他打算任命某人，必須先有書面申請。他說他需要先確定安排面試看是否合適，如果是，他會定一個大概的時候與她見面。他還補充說她不能指望能夠侵占他的時候，也不能用她的這種方式接近他的下屬。他的下屬馬上對此報以熱烈的掌聲。他們原以為這樣可能會得到他的認可，因為這位老板對新體驗有很大的欲望，他們沒想到他也顯然不喜歡控制不了局面。就外表看來，什么懇求也沒有用，都不能使老板以有利于她的方式接近處理這個問題。不過后來他說因為她具備適當的經驗，他會給她兩個星期的試用期。
