商务英语播客 第86课:谈谈工作成绩(1)

      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.
      这是商务英语播客两部分中谈工作成绩的第一部分。这是聚焦求职面谈进程中的一部分。

      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?
      在任何一个求职面试中一定会提到，你根据你以前的工作经历，你觉得最大工作成绩是什么。这个问题出现的形式很多：你最骄傲的成绩是什么？你最大的成就是什么？你是怎么看待你的成绩的？

    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.
      无论这个问题怎么提出来，你都应该准备一个答案。面试者想听到你处理的重要事情。举出一个你觉得很重要的例子，然后加以详细说明。这两件事情会让你轻松地举出例子，这就是本系列的主题。

      In this episode, we'll be listening to a bad and good version of a recent graduate discussing his greatest accomplishment. We'll focus on language for providing examples of the positive personal characteristics that our previous success demonstrates. Then, in Part 2 of this series, we'll hear another good example of someone with more job experience, and we'll examine a four-part structure for telling our success stories.
      在本章中，我们来听近来毕业生关于谈论最大成绩的好坏两个版本。我们聚焦在我们对以前成绩阐述的积极的个人特征的语言上的例子。然后在第二部分，我们将听到另外一个工作经验的好例子，并且将调查讲述成功故事的四个部分。

      First, let's quickly review the bad example. We'll go back to Alexander's interview with Michael in the electronics store. As you listen, consider the following questions. Then we’ll examine the answers in the debrief.
      首先，我们快速回顾下不好的例子。我们将会退回到在电子商店中Michael与Alexander的面试。当你听到时候，思考下列问题。然后我们简要地检查下答案。

Listening Questions: (Bad Example)
1. Does Alex put his success into an organized, articulate story?
2. Does he present his accomplishment in a way that provides examples of skills and qualities that will be useful at his new job?
