原汁原味商务英语播客 第80课:谈工作经验(下)

 　　This is the second in a two-part Business English Podcast series on discussing previous experience in workplace English job interviews. It is one of an ongoing¹ sequence of ESL podcasts that covers the whole interview process.

　　这是2节系列英语商务课程的第2节，将谈论以前的工作经验。它也是有关完整工作面试进程的系列课程。

　　In Part 2 today, we listen to a better interview performance by someone who has prepared to talk about their previous experience more effectively. In this good example, Sherry Shen, from Hong Kong, is interviewing with a multinational² accounting³ company for her first job after graduating with a Master’s in finance.

　　在今天的课程中，我们来听下在面试中表现较好的，准备更有效果地谈以前工作经验的录音。在这个做得较好的例子中，来自香港的Sherry Shen取得财政硕士后，正和处理多国会计业务的公司面试。

　　It’s her first round of interviews, and she is being asked all the standard questions by an HR officer. Although Sherry is an all-around good candidate, her resume has some problems. Her grades aren’t great, and there is a gap with no employment between her college and graduate school careers. As you listen, focus on the following questions.

　　这是她的第一轮面试，人事经理正在询问她各种问题。虽然Sherry是个多才多艺的优秀候选人，她的简历有些问题。她的成绩并不高，而且在上大学和读硕士期间她没有工作。听录音时，注意一下的问题。

　　Listening Questions:

　　1) Does Sherry let her guard down, or does she answer briefly⁴ and to-the-point with an appropriate level of formality?

　　2) Does Sherry seem well-prepared to talk about her experience?

　　3) How does Sherry account for the gap in her résumé?
