外教讲解地道美语 第191期:找工作

A: Woo hoo! This just might be the start of the rest of my life!

B: What happened?

A: I’m in the market for a job! I went on a website with  hundreds of job listings in the area and browsed  through them until I got the names of a few employers I would like to work for. I have the resume I wrote for English class last month and a cover letter will be a piece of cake to write.  I’ve even done my research and found the names of the managers so I can address the letters personally. And you know I can be charming in interviews. Goodbye my penniless days!  Hello salary and a career!

B: Ben, we’re fifteen. What kind of job are you looking for?

A: Oh, just for a position as a gas station attendant. You know, starting at a simple lowly job, just like all the greats before they made it big in the world.

B: Uh-huh.

A: But I’m just in it for the money, right?  How else am I going to be able to afford to keep taking Angela to the movies? Besides, I love the smell of gasoline, don’t you?
