13、个性和爱好的问答，主考官可以初步判断面试者的性格特点是否适合职位的需要。性格外向的人往往容易给人留下热情活泼、思维敏捷但不深沉的印象，这类性格的人在面试时说话的节奏要适当放慢，语言组织得当，要注意给人以博学多才、见多识广的良好形象。性格内向的人则容易给人留下深沉有余、反应迟缓的印象，在面试时，这类性格的人要力争积极回答，并就某一重大观点展开论述，以弥补自己性格上的不足。 兴趣爱好有助于工作的胜任愉快，而且热爱本职，从事的专业岗位与自己的兴趣爱好相吻合也更有利于出成果。 应试者应该根据应聘职位的需求，尽量的使用适当的词语形容自己的个性特点。例如，应试者如果应聘秘书的职位，那么他（她）在形容自己的

14、个性特点时应尽量选用类似efficient （有效率的）、careful（办事仔细的）、responsible（负责的）等词语而不应该选用purposeful（有目的的）或 liberal（心胸宽大的）等不着边际的词语。Listening and Speaking(Page 42 Activity 4）(补充文化背景知识，教师是用本材料介绍在美国找工作的几种途径)政府机关篇 如果你想在公家机关里谋得一份稳定的工作，以下几条途径可供参考：、翻看一些专业的参考书，如Fourth of July , Resource Guide for the Promotion of Careers in Pub

15、lic，Community and International Service。此外，纽约州政府印有一份八页的手册名为Is There a Job for Me With New York State，书中列明了州政府的工作应聘资格与申请程序，此书在图书馆里可以查到。、联络联邦就业资讯及测验中心，这些中心可以提供公家机关工作空缺名额的资料、申请书、任用资格等资讯。 实习VS网络 实习InternshipExternship：美国的学校一般都设有实习课程。由于大多数的毕业生缺乏工作经验，这在找工作时非常不利。而通过实习，学生不但可将所学的知识与实际操作紧密结合起来，而且可增加履历表上的资历。同时

16、，在找寻实习机会的过程中，也可学到一些求职的技巧。事实上，许多毕业生在实习中，以其勤奋的工作态度和优异的表现，给雇主留下了良好印象，从而被录用为正式员工，这样的例子屡见不鲜。 电脑资讯网络：网络作为21世纪的求职新工具，其作用不可忽视。在Internet上有上千个网站，其中与就业有关的至少有上百个，两个关联最大的求职新闻组为：.offered和.resumes。 报刊杂志篇 报刊杂志的招聘启事：专业性的报刊杂志针对性最强，如各地的法律日报、电机资讯工程杂志，以及各类专业团体出的刊物等。大报、区域性的地方报纸也有专门的招聘广告。此外，商业新闻中也常藏有许多讯息

17、。例如某公司拿到了新的工程或计划、某公司正在扩展，甚至是一些公司内部的人事升迁与调动等，这些信息都透露了公司可能雇用新人。这里有一点要注意，如果招聘启事的投递地址为当地的劳工局，即表示该工作实际早有适当人选，登此广告仅为程序之一，因此不必浪费精力去应征。 下面推荐两份专业报： The National Ad Search，订费美元（周）；The National Business Employment Weekly，该报其实是华尔街日报每周的招聘信息汇总，在一般报摊均有出售。 图书馆：千万不要忽略了这个宝贵而便利的资讯集中地。事实上，在求职就业方面，有许多书籍可供参考，其中有教你如何设计履历表

18、、如何建立人际关系网、面试技巧等方面的求职指南，有名人录Directories，还有各公司的详细介绍等。 由于此类书籍种类繁多，所提供的求职就业方面的服务与资讯也不尽相同，因此，求职者先要熟悉一些关键字，这样在查询时会方便许多。这类关键字有：Job、Career、Employment Seeking、Hunting、Development、Planning、Changing、Vocational、Handbook，以及有关 Interviewing、Resumes的资讯。 图书馆里有许多美国公司的详细资料，用商业及工业公司资讯分类表便可搜索到。此外，各种的指南、手册、年监、名人录，还可进一步提

19、供联系人的地址、电话等信息，以便求职者投递履历表。这里推荐两本针对性较强的指南：The Encyclopedia of Association和National Trade and Professional Association。 有些图书馆还提供电脑求职就业资讯服务，如布碌仑的中央图馆、Grand Amy Plaza的中央公立图书馆等。电脑系统将为求职者提供有关政府职业考试、劳工市场、职业教育及训练服务、社区服务指南等资料。各地图书馆因规模不同，提供的就业辅导服务也有很大的差异。有些只提供职业资讯查询服务，而有些则设有教育与就业中心，提供履历表评估及就业顾问服务。 其它类型篇 就业座谈及各

20、种会议：美国高校每年都会举办大型的Job Fair，许多大公司均会参加，收集毕业生的履历表。此外，还有各种的Conference及Workshop等形式的就业座谈会可以参加。 专业团体与工商业团体：这些团体每年会定期举办各种专业人士交流活动，参加此类活动能获得许多的就业信息。此外各类同学会、校友会与非营利团体的社交活动也值得一试，以便拓展自己的人际关系圈，拓宽就业渠道。 有线电视：美国的一些有线电视中设有就业频道，里面有大量的职业信息，值得一看。如纽约市第15、16、17频道每周均会播出英文招聘广告，CNBC频道的The Career Television Network则在东岸时间清晨五时播

21、出一些求才资讯。 国际就业中心：如果想寻找国际性工作者，可去各大学的国际就业中心了解情况，Listening and Speaking(Page 43, Activity 6)(补充相关背景知识，介绍vocational school)高职院校 higher vocational school现在我们在电视上可以经常看见各类高职院校的广告，高职院校如今也是高中生毕业后的一大去向，那么高职院校的英文说法是什么呢？请看新华社的报道：Chinas higher vocational schools enroll more than 3 million students annually- China

22、 currently has about 1,184 schools of higher vocational education, which enroll more than 3.1 million students annually, Vice Minister of Education Lu Xin said.中国高职院校每年招收300多万学生教育部副部长鲁昕说，中国目前有约1184所高职教育机构，每年招收学生310多万。在上面的报道中，higher vocational school就是“高等职业学校”，即“高职院校”。在英国的教育体系，“高职院校”就是那些non-degree vo

23、cational colleges，在美国则被称为postsecondary vocational institutions。现阶段的高职院校就是我们过去经常说的大专，多数情况下都叫做higher vocational colleges。Vocational就是“职业的，业务的”，例如：vocational education（职业教育）；vocational knowledge（业务知识），vocational guidance则是“就业指导”。提到高职院校，我们顺便说一下与其相关的几种院校的英文对应词。在八十年代上大学的人不多，那时候大部分人上的都是“大专”（college）和“中专”（t

24、echnical secondary school/secondary specialized school），大专和中专都属于“专科学校”（postsecondary specialized college）；还有人去了“技校”（technical school）。要注意把高职院校和职高（职业高中）相区别，“职高”是vocational high school，还有现在不断涌现的“培训学校”是training school。（职业学校的英文介绍，教师可给程度较高的学生补充）What is a Vocational School(职业学校)?Traditionally, a vocationa

Other careers that are typical at a vocational school include plumbing, electricity, carpentry, professional locksmithing, floral designer, and motorcycle repair technician.
