??? 谈论工作经验是表现自己是该职位合适人选的良机,可以运用事例说明自己的工作经验和成就,如曾经一手成立了新部门、新系统、找到新客户等。招聘方往往希望 知道应聘者的工作性质是否和招聘的职位有关,或者应聘者从以往的工作中吸取到了哪些有用的经验。即便过去的工作和现在应聘的职位无关,也不能说是什么都没 学到,因为每份工作都有它可取之处。有时也许由于种种原因,雇员跳槽比较多,但这不一定是坏事,所以如果自己是属于这种情况,可以向雇主说明干过多种工作 使自己经验丰富,能为雇主更好的服务。不过,切记任何答案都要言简意赅,不要长篇大论。至于没有或工作经验很少的毕业生,可将一些在学校生活学到的东西联 系到申请的工作上。例如,上学时曾经当过学生会主席便可以用实例证明自己有领导才能。

Joke of Today
Keep Secret
??? A distinguished clergyman and the elders from his congregation attended an out-of-town meeting that did not finish until rather late. They decided to have something to eat before going home, but unfortunately the only spot open was a seedy bar and grill with a questionable reputation.
??? After being served, one of the elders asked the clergyman to say grace. "I'd rather not", the clergyman said, "I don't want Him to know I'm here."
??? 【Notes】:
??? (1)? clergyman 牧师
??? (2) congregation 教区
??? (3) a seedy bar and grill 下等酒吧烤菜馆,这里“bar” 和“grill”都是同一家店所提供的服务内容,所以用“a”
??? (4) a questionable reputation. 名声不好, “questionable” 可疑的,有争议的
??? (5) say grace 祈祷
(6)Him 这里特指“主”,“上帝”。
