Classmate: What are you doing tomorrow?

Jason: Err…I'm going to a job fair tomorrow.

Classmate: Is that with the American company?

Jason: Yes, that's right.

Classmate: So where is the work place of that American company?

Jason: Shanghai.

Classmate: That's great.

Jason: Since you are the experienced one, can you give me some suggestions?

Classmate: You'd better pay more attention to your resume.

Jason: So what should I do?

Classmate: First, you should print your resume on good-quality white paper. Resumes with flowery backgrounds will stand out for all the wrong reasons.

Jason: OK, I got it. Anything more?

Classmate: You'd better get someone to check for spelling and grammatical errors, because a spell-checker won't pick out every mistake.

Jason: So, can you help me to do this work?

Classmate: Of course, with pleasure. Listen, you should remember that don't be nervous if the interviewer asks you to do a presentation.

Jason: OK, I will.

同学: 你明天准备干什么？

杰森: 嗯……我要去参加招聘会。

同学: 是有美国公司的那个招聘会吗？

杰森: 对，是的。

同学: 那么那个美国公司的工作地点在什么地方？

杰森: 在上海。

同学: 那还不错。

杰森: 你有参加招聘会的经验，你能给我一些建议吗？

同学: 你得注意点你的简历。

杰森: 那么我该怎么做呢？

同学: 首先，你应该用质量好的白纸打印你的简历。有着花花绿绿背景的简历容易显现出所有的错误。

杰森: 好的，我知道了。还有其他的建议吗？

同学: 你最好是找个人帮你检查一下拼写和语法错误，因为Word中的自动检查插件不一定能帮你检查出每一处错误。

杰森: 那么你能帮我做这个工作吗？

同学: 当然愿意啊。听着，你一定要记住，当面试官要你做自我陈述的时候千万不要紧张。

杰森: 好的，我会记住的。

For safety's sake, it is always best to check with the sponsoring organization, which is usually the Career Center for the college. If you are from a different geographical³ region and seeking to relocate to that particular area, most colleges are willing to accommodate your special request to attend. So it there is a job fair at another college, make sure you put it on your schedule. Don't limit yourself to your college alone—take advantage of all available resources.

在美国参加其他学校的招聘会

美国校园几乎每天都会有招聘会。如果你提出申请，许多学校都会愿意让外校的人去参加他们的招聘会。为了安全起见，应聘者最好是与主办单位取得联系，通常来说，主办单位一般都会是大学求职中心。如果你是从其他地方来的应聘者，大部分的院校都会愿意为你提供特殊的食宿。所以说，如果是其他学校有招聘会的话，你要确定你已经将之列入了你的行程表中。不要仅仅局限于你自己学校，利用一切的可利用的资源。
