This Business English Pod lesson is the first in a three-part series on first job interviews.
这节商务英语播客是3节系列课程的第1节,将涉及第1份工作面试。
Job interviews can make anyone nervous. After all, you want to make the best impression you can. But as a new graduate, you have an added challenge: little formal job experience. You need to prove to the employer that your studies and university experiences relate to the job you’re seeking.
面试会令人紧张。毕竟,你想给对方留下最好的印象。但是作为刚毕业的大学生,你有更多的挑战:你只有很少的正式工作的经验。你需要向雇主证明你具有与工作相关的学习和大学经历。
Today, we’ll cover some ways to help you connect your college experiences to an employer’s job requirements. We’ll look at making introductions and explaining ground rules and interview format. We’ll also look at two types of common questions – “tell me about yourself?” and discussing your education.
今天,我们会学到一些用来将大学经历和雇主的工作要求联系起来的方法。我们会介绍并解释基本法则和面试形式。也会看下2种普通问题“介绍下你这节”并讨论你所受的教育。
We’ll meet Owen, who just got his master’s in electrical engineering. He’s originally from Chengdu, China, a city 2,000 kilometers west of Shanghai. But he moved to Shanghai for graduate school and has decided to stay here for work. He’s interviewing for a test engineer position at IBH, an electronics company.
Owen刚刚获得了电气工程师的学位。他来自距上海2千公里的成都。但是他在上海上学并决定留在上海工作。他面试电子公司IBH的测试工程师职位。
