A: Hello, Modern English. Drew here.
你好,洋话连篇,我是Drew。
B: Hi, buddy1, it's Marco.
嘿哥们儿,我是Marco。
A: How can I help you today?
今天想聊些什么?
B: Well. I am going for an interview tomorrow. Can you give me an idea of what the interviewer will ask?
明天我要参加应聘。你能帮我想想他们都会问那些问题吗?
A: Well, they may ask you to tell them about your educational background and your working background.
他们会问你关于你的教育背景和工作背景的问题。
B: But they can see my resume. It's all in there.
但他们可以看我的简历,都在那里呢。
A: I know, but sometimes interviewers may want to hear you say it. Then, you may be asked for your viewpoint on why you feel you're qualified2 for the job, give them all your qualifications and how you think they fit with the position you are applying for. Questions like What sort of experience do you have and what are your goals? are closely related to this, also.
我了解,但有时应聘者们想听你一个人说。然后他们会问你为何你感觉自己能胜任这份工作。把自己的优势都讲出,告诉他们你有能力胜任这份工作。有的问题像你有哪些经验和你有哪些目的是紧密联系的。
B: Ok, what else?
好的,还有哪些其它的吗?
A: They may want to know how the company will benefit, with your answers to questions like What can you offer this company? and Why should I hire you?
他们或许还想了解你会为公司带来哪种利益。会问像你能为公司带来什么,或是大家为何要用你。
B: I see, what about salary?
我了解了。那薪资呢?
A: Umm, they may ask you what kind of salary you had in mind, or simply tell you what the company is offering. I think the latter is more likely for a starting position, especially if you have little or no experience. And if they are seriously considering hiring you, they will probably want to know when you would be able to start working. And basically, that's about it.
噢。他们或许会问你想要多少薪资,或简单的对你说企业的计划。我想刚开始工作的话,后者的能性要大一些,特别是你没工作经验的话。假如他们真的考虑要用你的话,他们或许会问你,你什么时间会开始工作,一般就这类了。
B: Oh, thanks, Drew, you've helped me a lot.
谢了,Drew 你帮了大忙了。
A: Anytime, bro. Let me know how it works out.
没事儿,兄弟,别忘了告诉我结果。
Notes:
[1] Why do you feel you are qualified for the job? 这句话在应聘中常常问到,但它却不好答。要多用一些方法,尽可能把我们的能力表现出来。
[2] What sort of experience do you have? Sort of和kind of一样,表示某种的意思,另外,它还是一个时尚的口语,当你表达不清的时侯,用这个词来调整一下。
[3] When would you be able to start working? 一般的回答是ASAP: as soon as possible.
