Interview 3 Manager: Looking through your C.V., I see that you graduated from Oklahoma State University. Can you tell me what training you have had that would specifically relate to the cable television Industry? 我看過你的簡(jiǎn)歷了，你畢業(yè)于俄克拉馬州州立大學(xué)。你能告訴我你有過哪些有線電視行業(yè)的培訓(xùn)嗎? Engineer: Well, Ive attended some conferences in this field. But the most relevant training Ive had was in computer design. I believe I could integrate that knowledge with my college degree to design a program for your company. 我參加過這個(gè)領(lǐng)域的一些討論會(huì)。但大部分相關(guān)培訓(xùn)都是電腦設(shè)計(jì)。我相信我能夠結(jié)合電腦設(shè)計(jì)和所學(xué)的知識(shí)開發(fā)出貴公司需要的新應(yīng)用軟件。 Manager: I see. Did you have anything specific in mind? 我明白。你有什么具體的設(shè)想？ Engineer: Well, I notice that you currently provide an on-screen TV Guide. At the moment, it just scrolls the names of the programs in a repeated loop. If you have many channels, you have to wait a long time to find the item you are interested in. I believe I could design a program that makes the guide interactive. Customers could go right to the program they want. 我注意到在您目前提供的收視指南。觀眾只級(jí)在重復(fù)滾動(dòng)的節(jié)目單中選擇。如果有很多頻道，您得等很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間才能找到感興趣的那一項(xiàng)。我能設(shè)計(jì)一個(gè)程序，使指南具有交互性。觀眾可以直接找到他們想看的節(jié)目。 Manager: Thats impressive. How would you make the pay? 這個(gè)想法很有意思。你準(zhǔn)備如何進(jìn)行收費(fèi)呢？ Engineer: Tie it in with the pay-per-view services, and perhaps it could be a money-maker. 把它與會(huì)費(fèi)點(diǎn)播服務(wù)捆綁在一起，說不定它會(huì)為我們賺許多錢。 Manager: I see you have several good ideas. Now, I just have a few questions about your C.V. I notice that there is a five-year gap between your last job and now. 看來你有很多好想法。我對(duì)你的簡(jiǎn)歷有幾個(gè)問題。我發(fā)現(xiàn)從你的前一份工作到現(xiàn)在，有五年是空白。 Engineer: Yes, I took a break from work during that time. I had a baby, and as she was born with a handicap, I decided to suspend my career. But I have continued to keep up with the Industry through conferences and professional journals. 是的。我休息了一段時(shí)間。我那時(shí)有了孩子，孩子有些殘疾，我決定離職。但我一直通過討論會(huì)和行業(yè)雜志來關(guān)注這個(gè)行業(yè)的發(fā)展。 Manager: So, youre just starting back. Maybe youd better tell me a little more about your experience. 那你現(xiàn)在是準(zhǔn)備重返這個(gè)行業(yè)了。你還需要再多告訴我一些你的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。 C.V.簡(jiǎn)歷，Curriculum Vitae的縮寫 Training培訓(xùn) Conferences討論會(huì) computer design電腦設(shè)計(jì) design a program開發(fā)新應(yīng)用軟件 design a program設(shè)計(jì)程序 Interactive互動(dòng)的 five-year gap五年的時(shí)間空缺 suspend my career離職 keep up with the Industry緊密跟隨行業(yè)(發(fā)展) professional journals行業(yè)雜志，專業(yè)期刊 Many years ago, when I was a young job-searching greenhorn, I ventured to New York City to take a bite out of the big apple of opportunity.When it came to finding a job in a crowded city of millions, I quickly learned that its much easier on ones sanity to sign up with one of the many employment agencies which helps job seekers looking for work.I scoured the newspaper and found a large ad for one such well-known employment agency. True to their word, they promptly sent me off on several interviews none of which I felt particularly comfortable at. Needless to say, I didnt get any job offers.While nursing a cold, I decided I needed a change. So, I contacted a much smaller agency and decided to see if my luck would be different.They were down-to-earth friendly and genuinely concerned about helping me find a job. Before they sent me out on any interviews, they put me through a mock interview session and evaluated my performance .Afterwards, an advisor sat me down and we chatted about the results of my mock interview.I am forever grateful for the feedback I got that day, because the interview preparation tips they gave me have served me well over countless interviews these many years. Ive condensed their pointers into five simple rules that anyone can follow for better success at a job interview.Eye Contact Look directly at your interviewer. Dont cast your eyes down.Sit up Straight Dont slouch in your chair it makes you look lazy and uninterested. Good posture makes you look like a confident person.Dont Fidget Keep your hands in your lap when youre not making a point in the conversation. Fidgeting looks unprofessional.Speak Up Dont mumble your words. Speak directly at your interviewer with a clear, strong voice.Smile and Show Some Personality Its ok to be a little nervous, but remember to stay loose and be yourself. Persona
