Classmate: What are you doing tomorrow?

Jason: Err…I'm going to a job fair tomorrow.

Classmate: Is that with the American company?

Jason: Yes, that's right.

Classmate: So where is the work place of that American company?

Jason: Shanghai.

Classmate: That's great.

Jason: Since you are the experienced one, can you give me some suggestions?

Classmate: You'd better pay more attention to your resume.

Jason: So what should I do?

Classmate: First, you should print your resume on good-quality white paper. Resumes with flowery backgrounds will stand out for all the wrong reasons.

Jason: OK, I got it. Anything more?

Classmate: You'd better get someone to check for spelling and grammatical errors, because a spell-checker won't pick out every mistake.

Jason: So, can you help me to do this work?

Classmate: Of course, with pleasure. Listen, you should remember that don't be nervous if the interviewer asks you to do a presentation.

Jason: OK, I will.

听看学

同学: 你明天准备干什么?

杰森: 嗯……我要去参加招聘会。

同学: 是有美国公司的那个招聘会吗?

杰森: 对，是的。

同学: 那么那个美国公司的工作地点在什么地方?

杰森: 在上海。

同学: 那还不错。

杰森: 你有参加招聘会的经验，你能给我一些建议吗?

同学: 你得注意点你的简历。

杰森: 那么我该怎么做呢?

同学: 首先，你应该用质量好的白纸打印你的简历。有着花花绿绿背景的简历容易显现出所有的错误。

杰森: 好的，我知道了。还有其他的建议吗?

同学: 你最好是找个人帮你检查一下拼写和语法错误，因为Word中的自动检查插件不一定能帮你检查出每一处错误。

杰森: 那么你能帮我做这个工作吗?

同学: 当然愿意啊。听着，你一定要记住，当面试官要你做自我陈述的时候千万不要紧张。

杰森: 好的，我会记住的。

经典背诵 Recitation

Jason: I'll go to the job fair tomorrow. My classmate told me that I should pay more attention to my resume, because he said a good resume was the passport to an interview and, finally, to the job I want. Initial impressions are vital, and a badly presented resume could mean rejection. I should prepare my resume well.

There are job fairs taking place nearly every day at colleges throughout the United States. If you request permission, many colleges are willing to allow attendees from outside their college. For safety's sake, it is always best to check with the sponsoring organization, which is usually the Career Center for the college. If you are from a different geographical region and seeking to relocate to that particular area, most colleges are willing to accommodate your special request to attend. So it there is a job fair at another college, make sure you put it on your schedule. Don't limit yourself to your college alone—take advantage of all available resources.

在美国参加其他学校的招聘会

美国校园几乎每天都会有招聘会。如果你提出申请，许多学校都会愿意让外校的人去参加他们的招聘会。为了安全起见，应聘者最好是与主办单位取得联系，通常来说，主办单位一般都会是大学求职中心。如果你是从其他地方来的应聘者，大部分的院校都会愿意为你提供特殊的食宿。所以说，如果是其他学校有招聘会的话，你要确定你已经将之列入了你的行程表中。不要仅仅局限于你自己学校，利用一切的可利用的资源。
