原汁原味商務英語播客 第58課:面試第1份工作(Part 1)

This Business English Pod lesson is the first in a three-part series on first job interviews.
這節商務英語播客是3節系列課程的第1節，將涉及第1份工作面試。

Job interviews can make anyone nervous. After all, you want to make the best impression you can. But as a new graduate, you have an added challenge: little formal job experience. You need to prove to the employer that your studies and university experiences relate to the job you’re seeking.
面試會令人緊張。畢竟，你想給對方留下最好的印象。但是作爲剛畢業的大學生，你有更多的挑戰：你只有很少的正式工作的經驗。你需要向僱主證明你具有與工作相關的學習和大學經歷。

Today, we’ll cover some ways to help you connect your college experiences to an employer’s job requirements. We’ll look at making introductions and explaining ground rules and interview format. We’ll also look at two types of common Questions – “tell me about yourself?” and discussing your education.
今天，我們會學到一些用來將大學經歷和僱主的工作要求聯繫起來的方法。我們會介紹並解釋基本法則和麪試形式。也會看下2種普通問題“介紹下你這節”並討論你所受的教育。

We’ll meet Owen, who just got his master’s in electrical engineering. He’s originally from Chengdu, China, a city 2,000 kilometers west of Shanghai. But he moved to Shanghai for graduate school and has decided to stay here for work. He’s interviewing for a test engineer position at IBH, an electronics company.
Owen剛剛獲得了電氣工程師的學位。他來自距上海2千公里的成都。但是他在上海上學並決定留在上海工作。他面試電子公司IBH的測試工程師職位。

Today’s meeting is a panel interview. This means a group of people will be asking the questions. So we’ll also meet Erica, who’s in charge of recruiting for IBH, and two of her colleagues: George, an engineering manager, and Cindy, a new HR manager.
今天的面試是小組面試。也就是說一組面試人員會問問題。面試人有IBH負責新人的Erica和她的兩個同事：工程經理George，和新的人事經理Cindy。

Listening Questions：
1. Why do you think George is handling the technical aspects of the interview?
2. What are two qualities or transferable skills that Owen mentions?
3. What does Owen say about his university’s approach to learning?
