Ⅲ.课文篇

One should prepare for a job interview in a relaxed manner.By that I mean do not pay too much attention to any one single detail at the expense of others.There is no one key to succeeding at an interview;rather a person should rely on the cooperation of a large number of little details.Take things slow and do them correctly.Consistency and sincerity will be greatly appreciated by any potential employer.And always say more than yes or no!

应该以一种轻松的方式准备面试。这样说的意思是不要为了任何单一的细节而牺牲其它的事情。成功的面试不取决于任何一个孤立的因素，而是许多细节因素综合作用的结果。准备时要从容，然后面试时注意不要出错。对于任何一个潜在的雇主来说，连贯性和诚挚都会大受欢迎。而且要永远记着不要仅仅停留在回答是或不是上。

Before the interview, one should prepare some of knowledge about the company one is seeking employment with.What is the main focus of the

business? How many people does it employ? What languages are spoken in the offices? The answers to these questions should be well known before setting foot though the door.An employer will show more respect to an individual who cares enough to learn such details.在面试前，应聘者应做一些准备，对所要应聘的公司有一些了解。如公司的主要业务是什么，有多少员工？在前去公司进行面试的时候，对这些问题的答案应该了然于胸。雇主应对渴望了解公司的应聘者表示尊重。

Carefully consider your physical appearance on the day of the interview.Although many companies have adopted a 'casual dress' atmosphere, you can never lose points by dressing carefully and neatly.The basics of cleanliness are mandatory;showering and brushing your teeth are included in this, and it is recommended that you not smoke before the interview as many people find the lingering odor offensive.On no accounts should one try to smoke during an interview!Taking care with these matters will insure that a potential employer will not have a bad first impression.仔细检察你在应聘当天的仪表仪容。虽然许多公司采用一种“休闲服”似的办公环境，但是注意仪容和穿着整洁总是没有坏处。基本的整洁是必须的，洗澡和刷牙也包括在其中，而且建议您最好在面试开始前不要抽烟，许多人发现抽烟后那久滞不去的味道令人难以忍受。在面试时无论如何不要抽烟！注意这些细节会让一个可能的雇员不会给雇主留下恶劣的印象。Bring with you to the interview a clean copy of your current resume and any supporting information, such as a list of recommendations, a copy of your

university degree or other certificates of education.In addition, if one is seeking employment in a country other than one's own, be sure to bring all immigration papers which relate to employment in your host country.去面试的时候带一份你最新的整洁清晰的简历和任何其它所需的文件，如一些推荐信，一份大学学位证书或任何其它教育证书。另外，如果你是在本国以外的其它国家求职的话，别忘了带上有关你在原住国的职业经历的移民文件。

Be sure to arrive to your interview on time or even fifteen minutes early.Nothing irritates your potential employer more than to be made to wait!Plan to arrive early, so that unusual conditions, such as a traffic jams will not cause you

to miss the appointed time.If extremely unusual conditions present themselves, causing your lateness, try to telephone the employer before you are late, so they will not waste time wondering where you are.Under such circumstances an employer may be willing to reschedule the interview.切记一定要准时到达应聘的公司参加面试，甚至提前15分钟到达。你潜在的雇主最讨厌等待！提早做计划，以便在某些特殊的情况下，比如交通堵塞就会害你错过约定的时间。如果有极其特殊的情况发生使得你无法准时到达，在你感到要迟到的之前给公司打电话，以便他们不会浪费时间猜测你怎么了。在这种情况下，雇主也许愿意重新安排面试的时间。While waiting for your turn, it is best to make friends with the secretaries or other staff around the office.This is also a good opportunity to practice saying more than yes and no.When your name is called, look up proudly, knowing that you are the one for the job.GOOD LUCK!

在等待轮到你面试的时候，最好与秘书或办公室的其他职员交朋友。这也是一个练习说更多不限于是或不是回答的机会。当叫到你的名字的时候，自豪地站起来，心中明白你是这个职位的最佳人选。

Ⅲ.课文篇

What you WEAR to an interview is the second most important factor in making a good first impression.First you should KNOW the company.While you are researching the company, visit the office and take a look at how the staff is dressed.SEE WITH YOUR OWN EYES what the employees are wearing.Then for the interview, try to dress in a

similar way.If they are all dressed in a suit and tie, then you should dress in a suit and tie.Take care to note if the ties are solid colors or a mix of colors.If the women employees wear long skirts, then

women should wear a long skirt.If employees wore a casual shirt with no tie, you should wear a casual shirt with no tie.If the women all wear pants, you should wear pants.If you see some people dressing casually and others dressing formally, IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO DRESS A LITTLE BIT MORE FORMALLY.面试的时候所穿服装是给对方下良好印象的第二个重要因素。首先你应该了解你所应聘的公司。在对所应聘的公司进行研究时，先拜访公司并观察那里的工作人员的着装，亲眼观察你所应聘的公司职员的着装，然后准备去面试，尽量穿同类的服装。如果你所应聘的公司职员穿西服系领带，那么你也应该穿西服打领带去面试。留心领带的颜色是单色还是混合色。如果公司的女性职员身穿长裙，女性应聘者也应穿长裙去面试。如果公司的女性职员穿短裙不系领带，那么女性应聘者也应穿短裙不系领带，而应穿休闲衬衫并不系领带。如果公司的女性职员 都穿长裤，那么你也应穿长裤。如果看到公司职员有些穿着休闲，有些则穿着正式，那么，穿正式一些的服装总是比穿休闲服装要好一些。

Being able to FIT IN(to belong and get along with the other employees)is very important.The interviewer will use this first

impression to decide if you can work well with the other employees.能够与周围环境和睦相处也很重要。面试官会利用面试的第一印象来决定是否你能与其他同事和睦相处。

Another important impression, is one that the employer gets from reading letters of recommendation from your references.Your reference include

helpful teachers or old bosses who liked the way you worked.Your teacher or boss will write a letter describing your good qualities.另一个重要印象是面试者从阅读你的推荐信来获得的。你的推荐人包括那些对你有帮助的老师和欣赏你的工作方式的前任老板。你的老师或前任老板会写一封推荐信，描述你的优点。

Common Problems with Office Equipment

办公设备常见问题

Offices have two major pieces of equipment, computers and copy machines.Computers are probably the most useful;they can make work much easier.Without computers things would be much harder to do(and I wouldn't have a job.)

办公室设备常见问题办公室一般都有两种主要的设备：电脑和复印机。电脑可能是最有用的。它们可以使工作变得更简单。没有电脑，事情会变得很困难。（而我也会失业）
