第60章 口语(32)

Mike: Do you have the feeling that there are lots of jobs out here but itseems you cannot find one

Sally: How do you know

Mike: I felt the same when I hunted for a job before. The first thing youshould do is to know what youre good at and put it into words.

Sally: What do you mean

Mike: Actually, many of us are not naturally proficient at talking orwriting about ourselves, so you have to brush up on the techniques.

But do look objectively at yourself.

Sally: And after knowing myself, I may decide which job suits me

Mike: Right! Once youve worked out why youre a good match for ajob, it will be easier to make convincing applications.

Sally: Then what should I do

Mike: Target the right employers, and reduce the chance of repeatedrejection.

Sally: I hate being rejected. It will make me unconfident.

Mike: With any hunt theres always the possibility of disappointment,but dont let that turn into defeat. From every pursuit that doesntbring the result you want, theres something to be learned.

Sally: Thank you very much. Youve been very helpful.

如何找工作

萨利: 就要毕业了。我得找份工作,但我确实不知道从何下手。你有什么建议吗

迈克: 你是不是觉得很多工作摆在那里,可你却好像找不到任何一个工作。

萨利:你怎么知道的

迈尔: 我以前找工作时也有同感。你首先要做的是了解自己擅长什么?并用语言表达出来。

萨利:什么意思

迈克: 实际上,许多人不擅长谈论或者描述自己,所以你需要练习

这种技能。但一定要客观地看待自己。

萨利:了解自己之后,我就可以确定什么工作适合我了?

迈克: 对! 一旦你清楚自己适合什么工作,写出有说服力的求职申请就容易得多了。

萨利:那接下来要做什么呢

迈克:找对雇主,减少被人拒绝的几率。

萨利:我讨厌被人拒绝。那会使我不自信。

迈克: 找工作总有令人失望的可能,但不要因此而气馁。每一次无果的求职经历都有值得学习的东西。

萨利:太感谢你了。你真是帮了我大忙。
