本週話題焦點：退休與面試新人 (了解自我性向)
Cindy meets up with Dan the next day during their coffee break. She asks him how his job search is going.
Cindy 隔天在休息時遇見 Dan。她問他找工作的事進行得如何。 |
Cindy: Good morning, Dan. Did you check out that Web site I told you about yesterday?
Cindy：Dan，早安！你有去看看我昨天告訴你的那個網站嗎？
Dan: Yeah, there were so many sales positions posted on it. I'm going to send my resume to about twenty companies.
Dan：有阿，上面刊登好多銷售人員的職缺。我要把我的履歷寄給將近二十家的公司。
Cindy: That's great! I'm sure that you can find a better paying job since you're the top salesperson in the office.
Cindy：那太好了！既然你在公司是頂尖的銷售人員，我確信你一定可以找到薪水更好的工作。
Dan: It's not only about the money. I also need something that is more challenging and not so boring. I'm just sick of doing the same thing day after day.
Dan：不只是錢的問題啦。我也需要一些比較有挑戰性、不那麼無聊的東西。我只是厭倦日復一日做相同的事情。
Cindy: But I think that all sales positions are the same. Is selling one product ever more interesting than selling another?
Cindy：不過我想所有的銷售工作都是一樣的。賣一項不同的產品會比賣另外一項有趣嗎？
Dan: Of course, it is. If you were a car enthusiast, then selling cars would be a lot more interesting than selling photocopiers.
Dan：當然會呀。如果你是一個汽車愛好者，那賣車子會比賣影印機有趣多了。
Cindy: Well...I guess you have a point there.
Cindy：嗯...我想你說的有道理。
Dan: I'll probably wait and look more seriously after Chinese New Year anyway.
Dan：我可能會先等等，然後過農曆新年以後，再認真的找找看。
Cindy: Why wait until then?
Cindy：為什麼要等到那時候？
Dan: Because I'm expecting a big bonus this year!!!!!
Dan：因為我在期待今年的年終獎金啊！
