    應征面談Introducing Yourself at an Interview

    找工作時的面試，正是應征單位決定是否要延攬應征者的依據(jù)。在面試中，除需注意衣裝合宜之外，得體出眾的談吐實為關鍵所在。怎么樣的談話內容和態(tài)度，才能使你脫穎而出呢？

    英文正文

    Good morning. It's a pleasure for me to be here in front of you to present myself. My name is Jennifer Wong， and I am a candidate for the position of Overseas Sales Representative.

    My background and work experience are tailor-made for this position. I studied marketing as an undergrad here in Taiwan， and in 1985， I received my MBA from the University of Texas School of Business. For five years now， I have utilized my skills and knowledge as the Assistant Director of Exports for Magic Kitchen Supplies.

    Action Appliances is a forward-looking company. I am aware that you are expanding into new markets， particularly in the U.S. Thus you are going to need aggressive， take-charge sales representatives. At Magic Kitchen， during my five years there， we expanded our U.S. market share by 25%. This is just one example of my ability to go out there and sell products.

    A position with your company would be both a learning experience and a great opportunity. I look forward to becoming part of the Action team. Thank you.

    中文翻譯

    早安。很高興能在這兒跟各位介紹自己：我是Jennifer Wong，來此應征海外業(yè)務代表。

    我的背景和工作經(jīng)驗使我足以勝任這份業(yè)務代表的工作；我在臺灣念大學，是主修行銷，一九八五年，再從美國德州大學的商學院得到企管碩士的學位。過去五年來，我以這些專業(yè)知識及技巧擔任神奇廚具用品公司的外銷部副主任。

    Action電器公司是個高瞻遠矚的公司，我知道你們正在開拓新市場，尤其要在美國闖下一片天地；正因為如此，你們需要一位積極、肯負責的業(yè)務代表。在神奇廚具用品公司，我們將產(chǎn)品在美國的市場占有率提高了百分之二十五，這正足以證明我有能力在當?shù)赝其N產(chǎn)品。

    如果能進入貴公司工作，對我來說可以好好繼續(xù)學習，也是個大好機會。我希望能成為Action電器公司的一員。謝謝。

    短語解說

    tailor-made 最適合，最完美的

    "tailor"是‘裁縫師’；裁縫師以手工制作的西裝，總是最合身。因此這個詞組是形容某人或是某物的條件好，對于某種情況來說，是最完美、最合適的。

    With her background and education， she is tailor-made to run this company.

    以她的背景和教育程度，她來經(jīng)營這個公司是最適當了！

    MBA 企管碩士

    這是"Master of Business Administration"（企管碩士）的縮寫。"Master"是指‘碩士（學位）’；"Administration"是‘行政管理、經(jīng)營’的意思。

    If you want an MBA， it's important to get accepted to a good school.

    你若有心攻得企管碩士的學位，最好先申請到一所好學校。

    forward-looking 高瞻遠矚的

    這個口語用法源自動詞詞組"look forward"，‘往前看、眼光向前’之意。所以"forward looking"這個形容詞引申有‘高瞻遠矚的、考慮未來’的意思。

    Only the most forward-looking companies will adapt and profit in the 1990's.

    在九Ｏ年代，只有把眼光放遠的公司才能生存獲利。

    take-charge 負責的
