You're listening to the second in a two-part Business English Podcast series on talking about accomplishments. This is one of an ongoing sequence of podcasts on job interviews.
你現在收聽的是商務英語播客談工作成績的第二部分。這是求職面試的繼續部分。
The theme for this episode and the last is providing examples. In the first part, we looked at a bad and good version of a recent university graduate talking about his academic successes. We studied how to use our accomplishments to demonstrate skills and characteristics that will be attractive to our potential employer.
本集的主題和最後部分是提供例子。在第一部分中我們看到近期畢業的大學生談論自己的成功的好的例子和壞的例子。我們要研究的是怎樣利用我們的成績來闡述我們的技能和個性，以便深深地吸引應聘者。
In this episode, we examine another good response to the question about previous experience and describing your accomplishments. We’ll be looking at someone with a little more job experience: Yala Santos is an HR specialist who is working in a manufacturing company. She now has an opportunity to interview for an HR manager position in a business unit of a fast moving consumer goods company, Fun Beverages International. Let's listen to how Yala deals with talking about her greatest achievement.
在本集中，我們來研究關於工作經驗和闡釋工作成績的另外一個優秀的範例。我們來看有點工作經驗的人：Yala Santos是一家制造企業的人力資源專家。她有一個機會在一家快速發展具有巨大推動力的消費公司Fun Beverages International應聘人力資源部經理一職。讓我們聽聽Yala是怎樣談論她的巨大成績的吧。
Ordinarily, when responding the question about your most significant accomplishment, it's very important that you prepare to tell a story that is organized and articulate. That means the story should be well structured and flow smoothly. Though there are many ways to make your presentation, Yala uses the same general format that I like to follow.
通常，當回答你最大成績這一問題的時候，講一個經過精心組織的並表達清晰的故事是非常重要的。這個故事應該結構完整並且講起來比較流暢。雖然有好多種方法來做介紹，但是Yala卻用了最一般的我喜歡形式。
1. You will probably need to set up the story by providing some context. Where were you? What was the situation? What was at stake, that is, what did you stand to lose or gain?
2. Recount your role in the situation. How were you involved?
3. Next, discuss what you did, including any analysis or problem solving, any process you set up, and any obstacles you had to overcome.
4. Reveal the outcome and what made you proud.
Whereas Alex gave us a good example of how someone with limited job experience might deal with the greatest achievement question, Yala shows us how someone with a more traditional employment record might address this query.
Listening Questions:
1. What was the project Yala was working on?
2. What was her role in it?
3. What did she do?
4. What was the outcome?
