【正文】 E: 別客氣，謝謝。A: 好的。什麼時候能收到您的通知呢？E: 我想本週之內吧，加藤小姐。A: 我的日常工作是什麼呢？E: 大體上都是些助理事務，維持我們的日常工作，翻譯，安排約會，做會議記錄，接電話等。A: 那好，順便問一句，我是為您工作嗎？E: 啊，不能這麼說。A: 啊，那太好了！E: 噢，加藤小姐，我想就這些了。這類活動很有意思，也使我有機會說英語?，F在，我仍然屬於一個野外活動的團體，它的成員來自20多個國家。我們策劃了社會募捐活動和野外活動。你以前同外國人一起工作過嗎？A: 噢，是的。我希望新職位的薪水能比我現在的薪水稍高一些，而且，如果我工作出色，還能有機會加薪。A: 我現在的年薪是450萬日元。啊，讓我想想，還有些問題我得問一下。E: 你什麼時候可以開始上班？A: 對不起～？E: 你什麼時候可以來上班？A: 噢，當然了，我得先從我現在的公司辭職～我想，我在兩三週之內就可以來上班了。例如，我能輕鬆地按時完成任務，並且，我認為我可以同時處理多項工作而不感到緊張。我想，只要貴公司把大量工作交給我，我就能證明我不是在說大話。你談談吧。、A: 我能談一談我自己嗎？例如我為什麼那麼想到外國公司工作。我每天的工作大約有30%是一般性事務。我家裡有一臺電腦，我相信我的電腦技術在一般人之上。你必須做大量一般性的工作，如操作電腦，處理往來的信件，翻譯等。E: 噢我注意到你很善於和人打交道，這很好。E: 那太好了，太好了。A: 噢，我不在乎加班。我認為，我能很好地適應貴公司的工作。E: 你對我們公司了解多少？A: 這個嘛，我知道貴公司在日本創(chuàng)建分部已經8年了，而且業(yè)務開展得相當積極。在貴公司的招聘廣告中，提到需要一位“成熟的人”。我喜歡複雜的項目，那樣我可以發(fā)揮我的想像力和毅力。我是說，我喜歡同各類人一起工作，我對他們的需求很敏感。E: 是嗎？是這樣，好，那倒挺有意思的，嗯～讓我看看～我還該問點什麼？A: 我可以說說我的特長嗎？E: 可以，可以，請談一談吧。我的愛好是徒步旅行，游泳和做西餐。我有兩個弟弟住在大阪，一個是教師，另一個和父親一起經營一家酒店。工作很有意思，我很喜歡。我的專業(yè)是英語，在大學裡是演講團和網球俱樂部的成員。就請你先說吧。幾分鐘之前才通知讓我來對你進行面試。A: 不要緊，感謝您能見我。要處理的工作太多了。請進！A: 謝謝。我很願意去。你說得很好。僱員應該隨時都可以與上司交換意見。E: 楊基，你認為上司與僱員之間應該是一種什麼樣的關係？A: 友好的關係，費雷德。我還接聽電話，幫助上司安排日程，進行辦公室財務管理，各種輔助工作。上帝，我真希望我能年輕20歲！我得在學習這些必要的技能方面我顯得很笨！也許你能幫助我！A: 我很高興能幫助您。在我現在的工作中，大多數項目文件都是用電腦處理的。我能一分鐘記錄70個口授單詞，每分鐘打60個單詞並可以使用好幾種類型的電腦。如果需要，我會加班，直到完成工作為止。E: 太好了！聽起來你似乎很適合這個工作。我的特長之一就是組織能力強，我有能力在同一時間處理多項工作。楊基，這個工作的關鍵是柔韌性，什麼樣的工作都要適應，你必須學會在同一時間裡處理幾項工作，你認為你行嗎？A: 噢，是的，我行。另外，還要接待海外客戶的來訪。我們這裡可沒有千篇一律的工作日，楊基！不過，你大約30%時間是與電腦打交道。我們的工作時間很長，但是加班費也很可觀，算是對長時間加班的補償吧！A: 如果我在這兒工作，一天的工作安排是怎樣的？E: 唔。我們的日常工作是相當緊張忙碌的。E: 好了，我想，我們該談點關於工作的事情了。E: 工作之餘你對什麼感興趣？A: 噢，我喜歡游泳，只要有機會我就去俱樂部鍛煉。你住在哪兒？A: 我住在埼玉縣。E: 是的，我認為你的英語說得很不錯。E: 你為什麼想離開現在的公司？A: 我已經在這家公司工作了三年。但你為什麼想來這裡工作？A: 嗯，我想應用我的英語和過去的工作經驗做一些更有挑戰(zhàn)性的工作，幫助一家外國公司在日本成功地發(fā)展。好了，我們開始吧！楊基，你為什麼希望到我們公司來工作？A: 是這樣的～嗯～，費雷德，我相信我能為貴公司出力。我來日本已經兩年了。A: 是的，我出生在東京，現在還和父母住在老房子裡。那的人都很隨和～，我在那兒度過了美妙的時光。還有人，那兒的人對我都很友好。那是個好地方，對嗎？我也在加州上學，我喜歡那裡。E: 別客氣。外面很熱是不是？這裡好找嗎？坐吧！坐吧！A: 您好，瓊斯先生，我～～E: 噢，叫我費雷德好了，大家都這麼稱呼我。INTERVIEW 3“ Friendly ” InterviewE: Hi, Yuki! Come on in! Pretty hot out there, isn’t it ? Did you have trouble finding us? Sit! Sit!A: Hello, Mr. Jones, it’s~E: Yuki, just call me Fred!A: Er. OK, er~ Fred. Thank you for seeing me today.E: No problem. No problem at all. Say, it says here in your resume you studied in California. Great place, isn’t it? I studied in California myself. I really enjoyed it. What did you like most about California ?A: Well, ~ I guess the weather. And the people. They were all very friendly to me.E: Yeah, the people are quite relaxed~ those were some great times I spent there. Well, thanks for stopping by. Are you from Tokyo, Yuki ?A: Yes, I am. I was born here, and still live with my parents in the same house.E: Is that right? Wonderful, wonderful. I’ve been in Japan for two years now. A great place. Nice people and great bear? Well, I guess we better get started. Yuki, why do you want with us? A: Well, er~ Fred, I believe I have a lot to offer to your pany, I’m very wellorganized, I ~E: Yes, yes, yes. But why do you want to work here?A: Oh, I want to use my English and my past work experience in a challenging job, to help a foreign pany be successful in Japan.I know a little about your pany and think the work here would be exciting and meaningful.E: Why do you want to leave your present pany?A: I’ve been with my present pany for three years. I enjoy the job, but I’m ready for more responsibility and I want to use my English more.E: Well, your English sounds very good to me. I’ve been studying Japanese for the past year and, unfortunately. I’m not making very much progress.Where do you live?A: I live in Saitama Prefecture. E: Is that very far from here?A: About one hour.E: What are your interests outside of work?A: Oh, I enjoy swimming and going to the sports club whenever I get the chance.I’m also studying tea ceremony.E: Well, I guess I should tell you something about the job. As you know, we’re one of the largest brokerage houses in the world. Our daily work is quite hectic, and we’re looking for an assistant who can keep us organized ~ help keep the engines running smoothly, so to speak.Our hours are long, but the overtime pay is good ~sort of makes up for the long hours.A: What would a typical day be like for me here?E: Well, that’s the problem. We never seem to have “typical” days, Yuki ! But you’d spend about 30% of your time on the puter. There would also be a lot of telephone time, setting up appointments, and taking care of a lot of support work. Also, there are visitors from overseas to deal with~ that always takes a lot of time and energy. The key in this job, Yuki, is flexibility. You have to be ready to handle all kinds of work, and you have to learn how to juggle several projects at the same time. Do you think you’re up to it?A: Oh, yes, I do. My present job is similar in that respect, and I think I’m doing a gook job.One of my strong points is good organizational skills. I have an ability to organize and work on several projects simultaneously.I like that kink of work. It’s exciting and makes me feel like I’m really acplishing something.E: Great! It sounds like you might be a good fit.Any problem with overtime work?A: Oh, I have no problem with overtime work if it’s necessary to get the job done.E: How are your general office skills?A: Pretty good, I think. I take dictation at 70 words per minute, type 60 words per minute and use several makes of puter. At work, I usually use Mac and IBM.In my present job, I helped puterize most of the project files.E: Yuki, I’m basically puter illiterate, but I’m playing “catchup” now. God, I wish I were 20 years younger! I feel so foolish struggling to get the “Knowhow” I need.Maybe you can help me! A: I’d be happy to.E: What are your main duties with your preset pany?A: As I mentioned, I’m doing a lot of
