A How's your job search going?

你的工作找得怎么樣了?

B I only started looking for a job a few days ago.

我?guī)滋烨安砰_始找工作.

A Have you finished compiling your resume?

簡歷寫好沒?

B Yes, I was precise with every word in my resume?

寫好了,里面的每一個詞都是我精心挑選的.

A That's good. Don't forget to design the format. An attractive fromat is as important as the content.

很好.別忘了設計一下板式,吸引人的板式和內容一樣重要.

B Absolutely,I've highlighted all my strengths and the resume is clear and easy to read.

沒錯,我強調了我所有的優(yōu)點,簡歷清晰易讀.

A Good. How about your cover letter?

不錯.求職信寫得怎么樣了?

B A cover letter? I've never thought about that. Won't a CV do for my job application?

求職信?我從來沒有想過要寫這個.找工作有份簡歷難道還不夠嗎?

A No, a CV is not enough. You should also attach it with a cover letter. Don't overlook it. You're faced with fierce competition in the job market. If your cover letter cannot stand out in the pile of cover letters, your resume may never see the light of day.

不行,只有簡歷是不夠的,你應該附上一封求職信,別大意了.現(xiàn)在就業(yè)市場競爭激烈,如果你的求職信不能從一堆求職信中脫穎而出,可能根本沒人讀你的簡歷.

B Sounds reasonable.Even if I'm the right one for the job, many people are applying for the same vacancy at the same time, so I should try my best to catch the Human Resources manager's attention.

恩.有道理.即使我是合適的人選,有那么多人都在同時申請這一個職位,我也得盡力吸引人事經(jīng)理的注意力.

A Yes, you're right. All your preparation efforts are to help you land a job interview.

你說的對,你所做的所有準備都是幫你獲得面試的機會.

B Got it. I'll start right now.

明白了,我馬上就寫.
