應征面談 Introducing Yourself at an Interview
    找工作時的面試,正是應征單位決定是否要延攬應征者的依據(jù)。在面試中,除需注意衣裝合宜之外,得體出眾的談吐實為關鍵所在。怎么樣的談話內容和態(tài)度,才能使你脫穎而出呢?
    英文正文
    Good morning. It’s a pleasure for me to be here in front of you to present myself. My name is Jennifer Wong, and I am a candidate for the position of Overseas Sales Representative.
    My background and work experience are tailor-made for this position. I studied marketing as an undergrad here in Taiwan, and in 1985, I received my MBA from the University of Texas School of Business. For five years now, I have utilized my skills and knowledge as the Assistant Director of Exports for Magic Kitchen Supplies.
    Action Appliances is a forward-looking company. I am aware that you are expanding into new markets, particularly in the U.S. Thus you are going to need aggressive, take-charge sales representatives. At Magic Kitchen, during my five years there, we expanded our U.S. market share by 25%. This is just one example of my ability to go out there and sell products.
    A position with your company would be both a learning experience and a great opportunity. I look forward to becoming part of the Action team. Thank you.

    短語解說
    tailor-made 最適合,最完美的
    "tailor"是‘裁縫師’;裁縫師以手工制作的西裝,總是最合身。因此這個詞組是形容某人或是某物的條件好,對于某種情況來說,是最完美、最合適的。
    With her background and education, she is tailor-made to run this company.
    以她的背景和教育程度,她來經營這個公司是最適當了!
    MBA 企管碩士
    這是"Master of Business Administration"(企管碩士)的縮寫。"Master"是指‘碩士(學位)’;"Administration"是‘行政管理、經營’的意思。
    If you want an MBA, it’s important to get accepted to a good school.
    你若有心攻得企管碩士的學位,先申請到一所好學校。
    forward-looking 高瞻遠矚的
    這個口語用法源自動詞詞組"look forward",‘往前看、眼光向前’之意。所以"forward looking"這個形容詞引申有‘高瞻遠矚的、考慮未來’的意思。
    Only the most forward-looking companies will adapt and profit in the 1990’s.
    在90年代,只有把眼光放遠的公司才能生存獲利。
    take-charge 負責的
    這是由動詞詞組"take charge of"演變出來的形容詞,意思就是指‘能控制事情,負起責任’的人或組織。
    We’re looking for a take-charge company to distribute our new product in a competitive market.
    我們在找一個肯負責的公司,將我們的產品在競爭激烈的市場中分銷出去。
    market share 市場占有率
    特指某種產品,因有固定的消費者購買,故而控制了市場的一部份;"market share"即指在同類產品的市場中所占有的銷售比例。"share"在此當名詞用,有‘份兒;分擔’的意思。
    After all of our TV sets were found to be defective, our market share dropped by 75%.
    我們的電視機被發(fā)現(xiàn)有瑕疵之后,市場占有率下跌了百分之七十五。
