时间：2018-12-05 作者：英语课 分类：商务英语求职面试培训
This is the second in a two-part Business English Podcast series on discussing previous experience in workplace English job interviews. It is one of an ongoing 1 sequence of ESL podcasts that covers the whole interview process.
In the first part of this series, we examined a bad example of everything that can go wrong when we talk about our previous experience. We used the theme “Don’t let your guard down!” to highlight the importance of maintaining an appropriate level of formality and professionalism, even when the interviewer is attempting to strike a casual tone.
In Part 2 today, we listen to a better interview performance by someone who has prepared to talk about their previous experience more effectively. In this good example, Sherry Shen, from Hong Kong, is interviewing with a multinational 2 accounting 3 company for her first job after graduating with a Master’s in finance.
It’s her first round of interviews, and she is being asked all the standard questions by an HR officer. Although Sherry is an all-around good candidate, her resume has some problems. Her grades aren’t great, and there is a gap with no employment between her college and graduate school careers. As you listen, focus on the following questions.
Listening Questions:
1) Does Sherry let her guard down, or does she answer briefly 4 and to-the-point with an appropriate level of formality?
2) Does Sherry seem well-prepared to talk about her experience?
3) How does Sherry account for the gap in her résumé?
