情景对话
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
DizzyPiggy: Hi, Steven. Sit down, make yourself comfortable. Now, tell me, Steven, you're already an office manager in a medium-sized finance company, why do you want to come and work here?

Steven: Well, I don't know how much you know but the company have been having some problems. Quite a few staff have been laid off actually

DizzyPiggy: … right…

Steven: … and although my job isn't immediately under threat, you just can't tell I'm not sure what the future will hold and, in any case, I felt that it was time to start moving up the career ladder. And I feel I want a little bit more responsibility. And that combined with the state of the company, convinced me that it's time to move on, really.

DizzyPiggy: So let us suppose you had moved up the ladder in our pharmaceutical company, what would be your priorities in approaching your job.

Steven: The first would be to make sure that I had the support of the people working underneath me. The second would be to make sure my immediate boss also understands the role that I was trying to play within the company and third, would be to make sure that the customers were satisfied.

F: … there's always the classic one of why do you want to come and work for this company?

M : I guess "give an example of when you've been innovative, give an example of when you've been faced with a big challenge.

F: I often ask the person what their strengths are . And I also ask them to tell me about the things that they would like to change about themselves.


Key words
laid off
被裁员，下岗
moving up the career ladder
攀登职业的阶梯
it's time to move on
是该挪个位子的时侯了
what would be your priorities in approaching your job
你在着手这个工作时，将优先考虑什么？
I want a little bit more responsibility.　这句话体现出一种野心，体现出抱负。不当头儿，责任就小。想担更多责任，不过是想当头的委婉说法。
I am not sure what the future will hold (for me). 说不好未来会怎样。迷失感呀！不知道哪朵云彩会下雨。
口语里的接续语也很重要，对话中有段Steven谈，头件事我要如何如何，第二件事要如何如何，第三件要如何如何，其实很简单：　
First thing would be.... Second thing would be....Third thing would be.
要么你可以说，First thing, I would... Second, I would....Finally, I would...
也可以说，Number one..... Number two....Number three... 还可以用A,B,C排序。总之要在说的时候，有条理，不慌乱。

DizzyPiggy: Steven, What are your strengths and weaknesses in the workplace?

I feel that my people skills are fairly well developed and I firmly believe that the combination of my people skills and my organisational ability is the right combination of skills to do this job really well.

Crystal: If you were assessing yourself on your own strengths and weaknesses, how would you summarise them?
Interviewee: Well I would look at it that I'm self motivated. I can also work with a group of people. I know that I can motivate them in a manner that is good for the company.

M ..classic answers that I would give? Well, classic answers are always I'm a great worker, I'm a team player, team players want they want to hear.
F ..I'd say I was a good team player, a self-starter, self motivated
