A Could you do me a favor and proofread my resume before I send it out to the human recources department?

我把簡(jiǎn)歷寄給人力資源部之前，你能幫忙校對(duì)一下嗎？

B Sure, let me take a look... Personal Information, Education, Experience, Training... I think you should add another section for language. You speak three languages, so you might as well put that on your resume.

當(dāng)然可以,讓我看看……個(gè)人信息、教育、經(jīng)歷、培訓(xùn)……我認(rèn)為你應(yīng)該把這一項(xiàng)再加上。你會(huì)講三種語(yǔ)言，所以最好把這些寫進(jìn)簡(jiǎn)歷。

A But languages don't have anything to do with engineering. Shouldn't everything I put on my resume have something to do with my field?

可是語(yǔ)言與工程技術(shù)沒什么關(guān)系。我寫進(jìn)簡(jiǎn)歷的東西不一定都與我的研究領(lǐng)域相關(guān)吧？

B Not necessarily. I think people would be impressed by your language abilities. It says something about your level of intellect and experience. Also, I think human resources directors want to see more of a well-rounded person in a resume.

不一定。我想人們會(huì)對(duì)你的語(yǔ)言能力留下深刻的印象。這能說明你的智商水平和經(jīng)歷。而且，我認(rèn)為人力資源部門的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)希望從簡(jiǎn)歷中更多地了解一下一個(gè)更全面發(fā)展的人才.

A It's just a piece of paper, you think that they can tell if I am a well-rounded person by looking at it?

這只不過是一張紙，你認(rèn)為他們看一下就能知道我是個(gè)全面發(fā)展的人才嗎？

B Well, you're right, the resume is limited in how much it can tell someone about a person. That's why job interviews are important to let people know the real you that they can't see from a piece of paper. But resumes can be helpful in explaining things and giving a good impression to a potential employer.

好了，你說的對(duì)，簡(jiǎn)歷在說明一個(gè)人有多大能力方面確實(shí)是有限的。這也是為什么求職面試那么重要，它能讓人們了解真實(shí)的你，這是他們從紙上無(wú)法看出來(lái)的?？墒呛?jiǎn)歷說明一些情況方面還是有幫助的，而且能給你未來(lái)的老板留下良好印象。
