Classmate: What are you doing tomorrow?

Jason: Err…I'm going to a job fair tomorrow.

Classmate: Is that with the American company?

Jason: Yes, that's right.

Classmate: So where is the work place of that American company?

Jason: Shanghai.

Classmate: That's great.

Jason: Since you are the experienced one, can you give me some suggestions?

Classmate: You'd better pay more attention to your resume.

Jason: So what should I do?

Classmate: First, you should print your resume on good-quality white paper. Resumes with flowery backgrounds will stand out for all the wrong reasons.

Jason: OK, I got it. Anything more?

Classmate: You'd better get someone to check for spelling and grammatical errors, because a spell-checker won't pick out every mistake.

Jason: So, can you help me to do this work?

Classmate: Of course, with pleasure. Listen, you should remember that don't be nervous if the interviewer asks you to do a presentation.

Jason: OK, I will.

聽看學

同學: 你明天準備干什么?

杰森: 嗯……我要去參加招聘會。

同學: 是有美國公司的那個招聘會嗎?

杰森: 對，是的。

同學: 那么那個美國公司的工作地點在什么地方?

杰森: 在上海。

同學: 那還不錯。

杰森: 你有參加招聘會的經驗，你能給我一些建議嗎?

同學: 你得注意點你的簡歷。

杰森: 那么我該怎么做呢?

同學: 首先，你應該用質量好的白紙打印你的簡歷。有著花花綠綠背景的簡歷容易顯現出所有的錯誤。

杰森: 好的，我知道了。還有其他的建議嗎?

同學: 你最好是找個人幫你檢查一下拼寫和語法錯誤，因為Word中的自動檢查插件不一定能幫你檢查出每一處錯誤。

杰森: 那么你能幫我做這個工作嗎?

同學: 當然愿意啊。聽著，你一定要記住，當面試官要你做自我陳述的時候千萬不要緊張。

杰森: 好的，我會記住的。

Attending Job Fairs at Other Colleges in America

There are job fairs taking place nearly every day at colleges throughout the United States. If you request permission, many colleges are willing to allow attendees from outside their college. For safety's sake, it is always best to check with the sponsoring organization, which is usually the Career Center for the college. If you are from a different geographical region and seeking to relocate to that particular area, most colleges are willing to accommodate your special request to attend. So it there is a job fair at another college, make sure you put it on your schedule. Don't limit yourself to your college alone—take advantage of all available resources.

在美國參加其他學校的招聘會

美國校園幾乎每天都會有招聘會。如果你提出申請，許多學校都會愿意讓外校的人去參加他們的招聘會。為了安全起見，應聘者最好是與主辦單位取得聯系，通常來說，主辦單位一般都會是大學求職中心。如果你是從其他地方來的應聘者，大部分的院校都會愿意為你提供特殊的食宿。所以說，如果是其他學校有招聘會的話，你要確定你已經將之列入了你的行程表中。不要僅僅局限于你自己學校，利用一切的可利用的資源。
