相關(guān)的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)可以為你在面試時(shí)贏得不少加分。有人可能會(huì)問，大學(xué)生剛畢業(yè)哪來的經(jīng)驗(yàn)？注意了，假期短期工作和實(shí)習(xí)都是很好的經(jīng)驗(yàn)來源，只要你夠勤快，工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)并不難找。閑話少說，我們來看看 Sam 和 Ann在面試時(shí)是怎樣處理工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)這部分的。

Dialogue 1

Snow: Have you got any experience in advertising?
Sam: Yes, I have been working in the Public Relations Section of a company for the past two years. I plan the advertising campaigns and cooperate with artists and a typographer. Sometimes I have to do the work of a specialist when there's something urgent.
Snow: Have you had any experience with computers?
Sam: Yes, I studied in a computer-training program, and can process data through the computer.
Snow: That's fine. What about operating the fax and duplicators?
Sam: I can handle them without any trouble.
Snow: How often do you work overtime?
Sam: I worked overtime several times a month.

Notes:

1. 對(duì)話中Sam在一家廣告公司進(jìn)行面試，Have you got any experience in advertising? 你有沒有廣告方面的從業(yè)經(jīng)驗(yàn)？experience in / with something，某個(gè)方面的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

2. 這時(shí)候你就可以把自己的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)告訴考官，當(dāng)然不要面面俱到，一定要挑跟你面試的工作緊密相關(guān)的方面來說，其它的可以不說或者一句話帶過。這就要求你在面試之前想好怎樣來?xiàng)l理清晰地陳述你的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)，甚至還可以先打個(gè)草稿，為的就是做到心中有數(shù)。

3. 這里你可以順便提一下你的一些工作技能，比如，電腦操作等等。process data through the computer，用電腦處理各種數(shù)據(jù)。operating the fax and duplicators，操作傳真機(jī)和打印機(jī)。handle這個(gè)詞也很常用，指“處理，操作”。例如：I think I can handle it. 這件事我可以做好。

4. work overtime，加班，overtime這里做副詞，表示“超時(shí)地”，overtime也可以做名詞be on overtime，也表示“加班”。

Dialogue 2

Watt: Do you have any sales experience?
Ann: Yes, I worked in a fashion shop as a part-time salesgirl.
Watt: What kind of work are you doing now?
Ann: I'm working as an export sales staff member for a foreign trading company.
Watt: Where are you working?
Ann: I work at Lianfu Foreign Trade Company，Ltd.
Watt: How long have you been working there？
Ann: I have been working there since I left my previous employer in 1996.
Watt: How many employers have you worked for?
Ann: Three.
Watt: What work were you responsible for at your previous work unit？
Ann: I was responsible for advertising design.

Notes:

1. Do you have any sales experience? 你有銷售經(jīng)驗(yàn)嗎？這也是詢問工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的一個(gè)常用句式。work as 是"做什么樣的工作"，例如：I worked as a tutor after school. 放學(xué)后我就去做家教。

2. What kind of work are you doing now? 你現(xiàn)在在做什么工作？Ann回答說在一家外貿(mào)公司做銷售人員。考官又問是什么公司，Where are you working? 這可不是問公司的地址，而是問公司的名稱。

3. How long have you been working there？你在那工作多久了？這里用的是現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)，表示從過去到現(xiàn)在一直做某事，從來沒有間斷過。How many employers have you worked for? 你為幾個(gè)雇主工作過？其實(shí)也就是問你換過幾個(gè)工作了。

4. What work were you responsible for at your previous work unit？你在以前工作的部門具體負(fù)責(zé)什么工作？be responsible for something，負(fù)責(zé)某事，也就是做某項(xiàng)工作。previous work unit，以前的工作部門。

5. 一般這樣的問題據(jù)實(shí)回答就可以了，除非考官對(duì)你某方面的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)感興趣，否則不要自己說起來沒完，要學(xué)會(huì)見機(jī)行事。
