BEC商务英语 / 第十二章 Unit 12 Job Description and Application / 第1节 Dialogue 1 Talking about jobs
提要与知识

(Stephan and Joanna are students of the same university, and they have been busy with hunting for jobs recently. They meet in the café on the campus.)

场景:咖啡店     人物:JoannaStephan


Joanna: Stephan, it’s a long time since we last met . What have you been busy with these days?

Stephan: Yeah, time flies. We are going to graduate very soon, and I am busy with writing the CV, applying for jobs, preparing for interviews and attending interviews. How about you?

Joanna: Me too. Well, you know, it is not easy to find an ideal job in such a competitive job market.

Stephan: But different people may hold different opinions about what an ideal job is.

Joanna: Right. Some may prefer the job which can provide them with higher income. Others may think a stable job is better, as they don’t need to bother about job change any more.

Stephan: That’s true. May I ask what kind of job you would prefer?

Joanna: As a student of business English major, I dream to be a businesswoman and start my own business in the future. However, I think I’d better start with working in some companies and learn how to manage business first upon my graduation.

Stephan: It seems that you have already had the target job category.

Joanna: Yes, I’m now applying for the position of export clerk in some multinational companies, and I hope I can get the interview opportunities from these companies.

Stephan: But I have heard that it’s a common thing for export clerks to work overtime. Have you thought about that?

Joanna: I understand what you mean. I don’t expect it to be a nine-five job. In this job I can make full use of the knowledge learned from my major, and I also believe that working in the multinational companies could be very challenging.

Stephan: Wish you good luck.

Joanna: Thank you. By the way, what would you take into consideration in looking for a job?

Stephan: I will consider my interest first. As you know, without interest in a job, we will probably never see it through.

Joanna: I really agree with you.

Stephan: At the same time I hope my future job will enable me to learn something and get some experience, and my boss would appreciate me and give me more chances to try.

Joanna: That sounds great. Hope we both can find our ideal jobs.

Stephan: Try and we will make it!
