原汁原味商务英语播客第104课:求职复试

 　　Congratulations! You were successful in your first job round interview, and you have been called back for a second interview. What should you expect? The key word is more—there will be more questions, more pressure—and, of course, more likelihood that you will get the job. 祝贺你！你已成功通过了求职的首轮面试，现在又收到通知参加复试。你觉得会有什么在等待着你？答案的中心是“更多”。你将面临更多的提问、更大的压力，当然啦，还会有更大的机会被录用。

　　An important function of second-round job interviews is to find out whether we fit with the employer's company culture. 复试的一个主要目的是考察我们是否符合公司文化的要求。
