第 23 课:Applying for a job 找工作

“Nowadays the job market is more competitive than ever. 现在的人才市场比以往竞争更加激烈。

Many people are searching for jobs and every one of them is hoping for the best job possible. 很多人都在找工作,每个人也都渴望找到尽可能好的工作。

Therefore, to some people the process of applying for a job can be nerve-wracking and incredibly difficult. 因此,对于一些人来说,找工作的过程既令人头疼也有着无法想象的难度。

In order to stand apart from the other applicants during the process, one must make oneself noticeable. 在应聘过程中,为了与其他的应聘者区别开来,就必须做到引人注目。

Employers see great value in the skills that a potential employee might bring - and the more skills, the more valuable the applicant. 雇主会从未来的雇员身上所具备的技能来挖掘价值--应聘者具备的技能越多便越有价值。

It is also helpful to dazzle them with one's dedication and desire for self-improvement. 如果你能凭借奉献精神同时具有自我提高的渴望引起雇主赞叹的话,则更有助于你的应聘。

In this competitive world, every little bit counts.” 在这个竞争激烈的世界,小异都会带来大不同。
