(1)How are you today? 你今天怎么样?

  (2)Did you have any trouble ? 你有什么困难么?()What do you think of the weather lately? 最近天气怎么样?

  这样的问题需要得到礼貌而简单爽快的回应,如:

  针对第一个问题——

  好的回答:I’m fine,thank you, and you? 我很好,谢谢你,你

  呢?或 I’m well,thank you.我很好,谢谢你。 不好的回答:So, so . 是的,是的。或 OK . 不错。或Not so

  well.还可以。

  第三阶段——自我表述
第7节:谨防茶壶煮饺子(2)


  面试过程中最重要的部分是表述自己的学历,工作经验和资历。这些都是和应聘工作直接相关的。 学历方面:如果是毕业后求职,记住学历是在以前完成的,要用过去时态。 I attended the Communication University of China from 2004 to 2008. I graduated with a degree in literature.

  2004年至2008年,我在中国传媒大学上学,毕业时我获得了文学学士学位。

  不过小丫现在还是学生,所以应用现在时态:

  I am currently studying at the Communication University of China and

  will graduate with a degree in literature.

  现在我在中国传媒大学学习,将来将以文学学士的身份毕业。

  工作经验和资历无疑是面试中最重要的部分,雇主很想知道个中的许多细节。雇主想知道你到底做过什么,做得好不好。因此不必谦虚,把最好的成绩和优点表达出来。

  小丫认为,自己在《××》时尚杂志社的工作还在继续,因此当谈到目前在做的工作时用现在完成进行时,表示不但一直在这样做,而且将来也会持续下去:

  ××has employed me for the last 2 years,and I have been engaged in customer relations for 6 months.

  两年来我一直在《××》杂志社工作,最近6个月以来负责维护客

  户关系。

  如果毕业后求职时,谈到以前的工作时用过去时:

  I was employed by Jackson’s Ltd. from 200 to 2008 as an office

  manager.

  从2005年到2008年我在杰克逊有限公司担任办公室经理职务。

  I worked as a production supervisor at the Heitz while I was living in New York.

  在纽约生活期间,我作为一名生产主管在海兹公司工作。

  当谈及以前的工作成绩和表现时,尽量用一些主动的、积极的、令人印象深刻的动词,比用名词或者系动词词组效果好。比如与其说: My job is to assist the senior scientist with unit testing .

  我的工作是在单元测试领域协助高级科学家。

  不如说:

  I assisted the senior scientist with unit testing .

  我协助高级科学家进行单元测试工作。

  与其说:

  I was responsible for the business demand analysis .

  我曾负责商务需求分析。

  不如说:

  I analyzed the business demand.

  我曾分析商务需求。

  也应当有这个心理准备。
  ()问:Are you interested in a full-time or part-time position?
  你对全职岗位感性趣还是兼职岗位感兴趣?

  评语: 提到过往工作经验时,注意越详细越好。最容易犯的错误之一 是讲过去经历时太过笼统。雇主是想知道你到底做什么以及你做得怎么样,你讲得越详细,他们就越能知道你是否在行。你可以 换着用一些不同的词汇来形容,而且尽量不要每句话都用“I”开头。记得用过去时态。
