你好,琼斯先生!请坐.谢谢你今天能来.你的简历我已看过.你在英国上的大学?

是的,上的剑桥大学.毕业后,我就干起了广告工作,后来转向了市场调查.

那么,你都有什么工作经验?

我做过10年市场销售工作,包括初级职位和管理职位,并在最后的岗位上通过自己的努力当上了市场部主任.

从简历上能看出来.你最后的职位是制药公司的市场部主任,对吧?那后来你为什么离职?

我觉得在一个地方干上5年久应该换工作.我喜欢干有挑战性的工作,喜欢每天看见新东西,做不同的工作.我很喜欢我以前那份工作,而且我离开时双方也很愉快,我之所以离开时因为想尝试新事物.

我明白,那你想做专职还是兼职?

我比较想做专职.

我记录一下.好了,你对工资的期望是多少?商务英语情景口语对话：研讨会A:whatdidyoulearnattheworkshopyouwenttoyesterday?Doyouthinkitwasworththeinvestmenttogo?

昨天你在研讨会上都学到了什么了?你认为值得一去吗?

是的,我真的从会上学到了很多东西.会议主题是解决人事问题,由专业人力资源部主任牵头讨论.那位教师的专业知识很丰富,我认为一开始就为我们打下了很好的基础.

研讨会只开了一个下午,你真的认为你两三个小时就能学到这么多东西吗?

那要看是什么话题,哪个老师教的,以及课程的组织方式.昨天,尽管我们只有很短的时间讨论,但研讨会确实让我们大家都开动了脑筋去思考一些问题.我们学到了一些很基本,但很有用的方法去处理人事问题.

确实如此……我只是希望我能确实运用我们所讨论分享的那些好办法.
