男子求职两年无果 被逼上网自卖自夸

2011-03-04来源:环球网

  An unemployed salesman who is desperate to find work put himself up for sale on eBay on Monday.

  一个丢了工作的销售员求职无望,周一在易趣网上挂牌卖起了自己。

  Determined David Wood, 45, has spent every day for the past two years writing up to 30 job applications and scanning newspapers and websites to find a job.

  这名45岁的男子名为大卫伍德,过去两年里每天都要投出30封求职信,阅览无数报纸和网站,只为找到1份工作。

  But despite his efforts, David is still jobless and has had to ask his father for a loan to prevent him losing his home in Bristol.

  然而徒有努力毫无收获的他仍然是无业游民,还要借老爸的钱来保住自己在布里斯托尔的房子。

  It was when he found himself contemplating suicide last month that he decided to place the advert "For Sale an Experienced Sales Representative" on eBay. The ad goes on that he comes with 25 years' of sales experience covering a wide product base.

  上个月开始大卫发现自己竟然开始考虑自杀,于是他横下心来在易趣网上打了个广告“出售一位有经验的销售代表”。广告中称他拥有25年的销售经验,涉及领域广泛。

  "It finally came to a head and I had nowhere else to turn. This is a last-ditch attempt to get an employer's attention," David said.

  “紧要关头我别无选择。这也是我吸引雇主们所能做的最后一击了,”大卫说道。
