你想過換工作嗎?招聘會一場接一場,求職者應聘了一家又一家。那麼,如何提高求職成功率呢?下面請看SAM的.面試實戰,看他是怎麼應付這些問題的。
MANAGER:Good morning, Mr. Brown! Please sit down!
SAM: Good morning, sir. Thank you.
MANAGER:Why did you apply for an internship in this company?
SAM:Well, sir, your company is located very near the college, so it would be very convenient for me to work here.
MANAGER:Anything else?
SAM:Yes, well, your company is an engineering company, and as I am an engineer, it seems I might be able to make myself useful.
MANAGER: Er, I see. Among the qualities we are looking for is technical ability and practical skills. A lot of university graduates have paper qualifications--but can they deliver? What would you say to that?
SAM: Yes, well, at my college, we have been working mainly on theoretical aspects so that we have a firm foundation. But each semester we have been asked to work on a practical project of some kind or other.
Can you give me an example?
SAM: Yes, well, during the last semester, I did the technical drawing of an experimental water pump. We had to do a presentation at the end of the semester.
MANAGER: Really! Did you bring the drawing with you?
SAM: I'm afraid I didn't. I didn't think you would be interested.
MANAGER: I see! Tell me, did you do that as an individual assignment?
SAM: Well, I worked with a team of five other people on the pump. I didn't want to get too involved, because of the time factor, so I offered to do the drawing, based on the design that had been worked out.
MANAGER: What part did the others play in developing the pump?
SAM: Well, I didn't have time to attend all the meetings, so I'm not sure exactly what everybody did.
MANAGER: I see. It sounds a bit ambitious.
SAM: Yes, it was. It took us far too long to get organized, and some of them said they wanted to try it out, and modify it. That was a good thing, I suppose, and I believe in the end it worked quite well, but I didn't get involved in the trials. To be honest, I was worried about our end of semester exams!
MANAGER: Right, Mr. Brown. That's all for the moment. I'll let you know soon what we decide.
SAM: Yes, sir. Thank you very much.
