新視野大學(xué)英語(yǔ)視聽(tīng)說(shuō)教程第三冊(cè) Unit 4 SAMPLE DIALOG

A: Can you give me some advice on how to succeed in an interview?

B: Well, first of all, you need to pay attention to your appearance. You have to dress appropriately.

A: What do you mean by appropriately?

B: It’s often best to wear a suit. Some bosses don’t like to see a candidate on a dirty T-shirt and jeans.

A: I see. Careless clothes may be an indicator of careless attitude in work.

B: Right on. Also, many employers are unwilling to hire a young man with his hair dyed red or yellow.

A: Then, what about during the interview?

B: You should speak politely but firmly. If you look too shy, they may suspect you are not capable of dealing with a challenging task.

A: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.

B: They’ll probably want to know something about your work experience. Companies usually don’t want an entirely new hand. They don’t want to spend time and money on training.

A: Fortunately, I gained some experience at a law of firm during the last summer holiday. I worked as an intern to provide free legal advice for those who need it.

B: Oh. I see, this is what they called “legal assistance to the needy”. Also, a company may want to know something about your character. You see, team players are often valued above all others.

A: What kind of questions should I ask them?

B: You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company.

A: I hear that many companies asked the candidates what salary they expect.

B: That’s true. You have to inquire about the possible salary level for a green hand in advance. If the salary you expect is reasonable, this shows that you know the professions well and will have a good impression on the interviewer.

A: Oh, I’ve learned so much from you. A thousand thanks.
