你好,瓊斯先生!請坐.謝謝你今天能來.你的簡歷我已看過.你在英國上的大學(xué)?

是的,上的劍橋大學(xué).畢業(yè)后,我就干起了廣告工作,后來轉(zhuǎn)向了市場調(diào)查.

那么,你都有什么工作經(jīng)驗?

我做過10年市場銷售工作,包括初級職位和管理職位,并在最后的崗位上通過自己的努力當(dāng)上了市場部主任.

從簡歷上能看出來.你最后的職位是制藥公司的市場部主任,對吧?那后來你為什么離職?

我覺得在一個地方干上5年久應(yīng)該換工作.我喜歡干有挑戰(zhàn)性的工作,喜歡每天看見新東西,做不同的工作.我很喜歡我以前那份工作,而且我離開時雙方也很愉快,我之所以離開時因為想嘗試新事物.

我明白,那你想做專職還是兼職?

我比較想做專職.

我記錄一下.好了,你對工資的期望是多少?商務(wù)英語情景口語對話：研討會A:whatdidyoulearnattheworkshopyouwenttoyesterday?Doyouthinkitwasworththeinvestmenttogo?

昨天你在研討會上都學(xué)到了什么了?你認(rèn)為值得一去嗎?

是的,我真的從會上學(xué)到了很多東西.會議主題是解決人事問題,由專業(yè)人力資源部主任牽頭討論.那位教師的專業(yè)知識很豐富,我認(rèn)為一開始就為我們打下了很好的基礎(chǔ).

研討會只開了一個下午,你真的認(rèn)為你兩三個小時就能學(xué)到這么多東西嗎?

那要看是什么話題,哪個老師教的,以及課程的組織方式.昨天,盡管我們只有很短的時間討論,但研討會確實(shí)讓我們大家都開動了腦筋去思考一些問題.我們學(xué)到了一些很基本,但很有用的方法去處理人事問題.

確實(shí)如此……我只是希望我能確實(shí)運(yùn)用我們所討論分享的那些好辦法.
