Applying for my first job， I realized I had to be creative①in listing my few qualifications②. Asked about additional schooling and training， I answered truthfully that I had spent three years in computer programming classes. I got the job.
I had neglected③to mention that I took the same course for three years before I passed.
①creativeadj. 创造的，创造性的，有创造力（或想像力）的
②qualificationn. 赋予（或取得）资格
③neglectv. 漏做，忘了做
创造性
第一次求职时，我意识到在列举我所具备的为数不多的条件时，得有点创造性。当问及我是否受过其它的培训时，我老实地回答说我花了三年时间学计算机程序设计课。我得到了那份工作。
我没有提到那门功课我重复学了三年才考及格。
