商务英语播客 第81课:谈论所取得的成就(上)

This is the first in a two-part Business English Podcast series on talking about your accomplishments. It is one of an ongoing sequence of podcasts that focus on the job interview process.
这是2节英语商务播客的第1节，将要谈论到你所取得的成就。它是有关工作面试进程的序列课程。

Along with your previous experience, your greatest accomplishment is one of the topics that is sure to come up in almost any job interview. This question appears in a variety of forms: What was your proudest achievement? What was your most significant accomplishment? What do you consider to be your greatest success?
谈到了工作经验，你所取得的成就也是如何面试中肯定会谈到的内容。问题会以不同形式出现:最让你骄傲的成就是什么？你最重要的成就是什么？你认为什么事是你取得的最大成就？

No matter how it’s asked, you should be ready with a reply. Interviewers want to hear about something important that you handled. Pick an achievement that is significant to you and that is rich in detail. These two qualities will make it easy to provide examples, which is the main theme of this series.
无论问题怎么问，你应该准备好回答。面试官想听些你说的重要内容，列举成就对你很重要，而且要详细地列举。这两项会使你举例子时很轻松。也是系列课程的主要话题。
