Character

warm- hearted
and
cooperative,
get
along
well
with
my
classmates,
and
have
good team spirit,
”

the boss will soon get fed up.

IV. Speaking Out
MODEL

Can
you
give
me
some
tips
about
how
to
get
a
good job?
Susan:
John, can you give me some tips about how to get a good job?

John:

Did you go to the job fairs
and meet with companies?
Susan:
Yeah, I did. But they didn
’
t seem to be interested in women.

I thought about
suing then for sexual discrimination.
John:

I
’
m
afraid
it
won
’
t
be much help.
Have
you
looked
at
the
want
ads
in
the
newspaper?
Susan
: I
’
ve been checking the want ads every day for a week, but
I can
’
t find anything
interesting
that
I
’
m
qualified
for.

And
the
few
that
I
have
seen
are
very
low-paying.
John:
Then try the Internet.
You can use a search engine to find a job site related to
your field.
Susan:
Good thinking! Thanks! I think I
’
ll look for something in electronic engineering.
John:

Hey,
I just saw a job opening
at a company called E-Tech. It could be just the
sort of thing you
’
re looking for.
Susan
: Great, I
’
ll try my luck there.
John:

Yeah, but if I remember, the deadline is this afternoon.
Susan:
This afternoon? Oh no! I
’
d better get online quickly and see if
I can submit my
resume by E-mail.
John:

Wait, have you updated your resume?
You
’
d better include your work experience
from the IT company last summer.
Susan:
Don
’
t worry. It
’
s all set. Thanks, mate.

Script
Susan:
John, do you have any tips for a successful interview?
John:
Well, first of all, you need to dress professionally.
Susan:
Oh, what about during the interview?
John:
Ok,
be sure to maintain good eye contact
and answer all questions politely and
directly.
Don
’
t look too shy, nor should you sound too aggressive
.
Susan:
I
’
m not sure what kind of questions they
’
ll ask.
John:
They
’
ll
probably
want
to
know
a
little
about
your
work
experience.
Many
companies don
’
t want a completely green hand
. They don
’
t want to spend time
and money on training.
Susan:
Fortunately,
I gained some experience at an IT company
during the last summer
holiday.
John:
They may also want to know something about your character. You see,
ability for
teamwork is usually valued.

Susan:
What kind of questions should I ask them?
John:
You should ask them about the job requirements and about the company.
Susan:
Should I ask about salary and fringe benefits?

John:
Better not. Not unless they bring it up. Just use the first interview to sell yourself.
Susan:
You
’
re right. If they are interested in hiring me, there will be plenty of chances to
talk about money later.
John:
Right. And the more interested they are, the more they
’
ll offer.
