杰森要去参加招聘会，那么有经验的同学又会给他什么样的建议呢？

Classmate: What are you doing tomorrow?

Jason: Err…I’m going to a job fair tomorrow.

Classmate: Is that with the American company?

Jason: Yes, that’s right.

Classmate: So where is the work place of that American company?

Jason: Shanghai.

Classmate: That’s great.

Jason: Since you are the experienced one, can you give me some suggestions?

Classmate: You’d better pay more attention to your resume.

Jason: So what should I do?

Classmate: First, you should print your resume on good-quality white paper. Resumes with flowery backgrounds will stand out for all the wrong reasons.

Jason: OK, I got it. Anything more?

Classmate: You’d better get someone to check for spelling and grammatical errors, because a spell-checker won’t pick out every mistake.

Jason: So, can you help me to do this work?

Classmate: Of course, with pleasure. Listen, you should remember that don’t be nervous if the interviewer asks you to do a presentation.

Jason: OK, I will.

听看学

同学: 你明天准备干什么？

杰森: 嗯……我要去参加招聘会。

同学: 是有美国公司的那个招聘会吗？

杰森: 对，是的。

同学: 那么那个美国公司的工作地点在什么地方？

杰森: 在上海。

同学: 那还不错。

杰森: 你有参加招聘会的经验，你能给我一些建议吗？

同学: 你得注意点你的简历。

杰森: 那么我该怎么做呢？

同学: 首先，你应该用质量好的白纸打印你的简历。有着花花绿绿背景的简历容易显现出所有的错误。

杰森: 好的，我知道了。还有其他的建议吗？

同学: 你最好是找个人帮你检查一下拼写和语法错误，因为Word中的自动检查插件不一定能帮你检查出每一处错误。

杰森: 那么你能帮我做这个工作吗？

同学: 当然愿意啊。听着，你一定要记住，当面试官要你做自我陈述的时候千万不要紧张。

杰森: 好的，我会记住的。

Attending Job Fairs at Other Colleges in America

There are job fairs taking place nearly every day at colleges throughout the United States. If you request permission, many colleges are willing to allow attendees from outside their college. For safety’s sake, it is always best to check with the sponsoring organization, which is usually the Career Center for the college. If you are from a different geographical region and seeking to relocate to that particular area, most colleges are willing to accommodate your special request to attend. So it there is a job fair at another college, make sure you put it on your schedule. Don’t limit yourself to your college alone-take advantage of all available resources.

在美国参加其他学校的招聘会

美国校园几乎每天都会有招聘会。如果你提出申请，许多学校都会愿意让外校的人去参加他们的招聘会。为了安全起见，应聘者最好是与主办单位取得联系，通常来说，主办单位一般都会是大学求职中心。如果你是从其他地方来的应聘者，大部分的院校都会愿意为你提供特殊的食宿。所以说，如果是其他学校有招聘会的话，你要确定你已经将之列入了你的行程表中。不要仅仅局限于你自己学校，利用一切的可利用的资源。

Jason: What’s your ideal job in the future?

Classmate: I want to be an accountant very much. But it is very hard to get certified for CPA. And the company always requires an experienced accountant.

Jason: Yeah, experience is key element for finding a job. Now that we are inexperienced, we should be more careful and work harder.

Classmate: Yes. Jason, what about you?

Jason: I want to enter the foreign ventures, so before graduation, I have to improve my English. That’s very crucial for a successful job interview.

Classmate: Yes, I also plan to take a training course for CPA. Then I’m gonna apply for a job as an ordinary accountant in the company. And I can accumulate some experience there.

Jason: That’s a good strategy!

Classmate: Do you always want to work in the foreign ventures?

Jason: No, I just want to accumulate some useful experience there.

Classmate: So will you start your own business then?

Jason: Yes, you said it. I want to do my own business. But before that, some social experience and clients are necessary.

Classmate: You are always smart!

Jason: Thank you! And at that time you can also come to my company.

Classmate: Yeah.

Jason: You’ll be my personal assistant.

Classmate: Personal assistant? I don’t think you’ll be able to afford me.

杰森:你以后的理想工作是什么？

同学:我想当一名会计。但是要拿到注册会计师的证书太难了。而且公司也要求有经验的会计。

杰森:是的，经验是找工作的关键因素。既然现在我们没有太多的经验，我们就应该更加仔细和认真。

同学:对。那你呢？杰森。

杰森:我想进外企，所以在毕业之前，我得提高我的英文水平。这是成功面试的一个关键因素。

同学:是的，我也想去上一个注册会计师的培训班。然后我再去公司应聘一个普通的会计，在那里积累一些经验。

杰森:那是个不错的策略！

同学:那你想一直在外企工作吗？

杰森:不想，我只想在那里积累一些有用的经验。

同学:那你将来会自己创业吗？

杰森:嗯，你说对了。我想自己开公司。但是在那之前，一些社会经验和客户是非常必要的。

同学:你总是非常聪明！

杰森:谢谢！到那个时候你也可以来我的公司。

同学:是啊。

杰森:你可以做我的私人助理。

同学:私人助理？那我担心你恐怕请不起我。

同事因为薪水，也因为和其他同事相处不愉快准备辞职了，雪莉给予了中肯的建议。到底是怎么回事呢？

Colleague: I’ve been so tired recently. I’ve been trying, but I don’t think I’m up to this job.

Shirley: You need to take a break, maybe a vacation.

Colleague: Oh, yes, indeed. I’ve run out of steam. To be honest, I want to be in a different environment.

Shirley: Is that so?

Colleague: Yes, I don’t want to be stuck in a rut. I want to move on.

Shirley: Have you decided?

Colleague: Yes. I want to get a better job.

Shirley: Could you tell me why you want to quit?

Colleague: I quit just because of the dissatisfying salary and the trouble in getting along with my colleagues.

Shirley: Oh, that’s terrible. Do you want to get a higher salary in our company?

Colleague: I’m afraid not. I’ve promised my girlfriend. We’ll travel southwards to find a job that offers higher pay.

Shirley: OK, I’d like to say that I’ve really enjoyed working with you. However, I think you should work harder for your new job and then you can ask for higher pay.

Colleague: Thank you so much for your advice.

Shirley: And every best wish for your new job.

同事:我辞职只是因为对薪水不满意，也很难和同事相处好。

雪莉:噢，那很糟。你想在公司拿到更高的薪酬吗？

同事:不想了。我答应过我女朋友。我们要一起到南方找个薪水高点的工作。

雪莉:好。我想说我和你共事很开心，但是你得知道你要在新工作岗位上更加努力，才可以要求更高的报酬。

同事:谢谢你的建议。

雪莉:祝你新工作里一切都好。

同事:谢谢。

本杰明要写一份述职报告，但是忙于研究的他却不知道怎么写，那么最后是谁帮了他的忙呢？一份述职报告又要包括哪些内容呢？

Colleague: Hey, Benjamin, have you finished your report on the project?

Benjamin: Not yet. To tell you the truth, I don’t know how to write it. I’ve considered it for several days.

Colleague: What? Man, you don’t know how to write a project report? That’s sounds a little bit ridiculous.

Benjamin: Don’t laugh at me, please. I’m serious. I’ve never been required to write this kind of report before; I only do the research reports.

Colleague: Oh, sorry, I’ve totally forgotten that you are a workaholic.

Benjamin: So what items must be involved in this report?

Colleague: First is your final conclusion on your work of this year, and then comes your plan for the next year.

Benjamin: Yeah, is that all?

Colleague: Let me see, no, you have to include more details about your final conclusion, for example, your experiences in dealing with some emergent events.

Benjamin: That’s too complicated.

Colleague: And only that doesn’t make a perfect one, you also have to pay attention to the format of the report.

Benjamin: Oh, my God, is there any fixed for mat for it-the one that I just need to fix my information in?

Colleague: I’m sorry. There isn’t. Because different people have to write different kinds of reports.

Benjamin: But I don’t know how to work the Microsoft Words. Could you please give me a hand?

Colleague: OK, no problem. But you have to learn it and then do it yourself next time.

Benjamin: I surely will. Thanks.

同事: 喂，本杰明，你的述职报告写完了吗？

本杰明: 还没有呢。事实上，我不知道怎么写，我都想了几天了。

同事: 什么？兄弟，你连述职报告都不知道怎么写？这听起来太荒谬了。

本杰明: 别嘲笑我了。我是认真的。我以前从来没有被要求写这种报告，我只写研究报告。

同事: 噢，对不起，我完全忘了你是个工作狂。

本杰明: 那这个报告需要包括哪些方面呢？

同事: 首先是对你今年的工作的总结，然后是关于下一年的工作计划。

本杰明: 好的，完了吗？

同事: 让我想想，还有，你还得将你的总结写详细点，比如说你得包括处理紧急事件的经验。

本杰明: 这太繁琐了。

同事: 而且还没有完，你还得注意你报告的格式。

本杰明: 噢，天哪，有固定的格式吗？我只需要把我的信息填进去就可以了。

同事: 抱歉，没有。因为不同的人要写不同形式的报告。

本杰明: 但是我不会操作Word文档啊。你能帮一下我吗？

同事：好的，没有问题。但是你得学，下次就你自己做了。

本杰明：我会的，谢谢。
