SALLY:早上好。谢谢你来公司见我们，JOE。我是公司的一名代表，我叫Sally Baker。

JOE: Hi SALLY. I think we spoke on the phone, didn't we?

JOE： 你好，Sally。 我想我们在电话上谈过了，不是吗?

SALLY: That's right, we did. So thank you for sending in your CV. We've had quite a careful look at it and I think we have two jobs that might be suitable for you.

SALLY：没错。谢谢你寄来的简历。我们已经仔细看过了，我想我们有两份工作可能适合你。

JOE: OK.

JOE： 好的。

SALLY: The first one is in a company based in North London. They're looking for an administrative assistant.

SALLY：第一个是在伦敦北部的一家公司。他们正在找一名行政助理。

JOE: OK. What sort of company is it?

JOE： 好的，是什么样的公司呢？

SALLY: They're called Home Solutions and they design and make furniture.

SALLY：它叫 Home Solutions，是一家设计和制作家具的公司。

JOE: Oh, I don't know much about that, but it sounds interesting.

JOE： 哦，我不太清楚它，但听上去很有趣。

SALLY: Yes, well as I said, they want someone in their office, and looking at your past experience it does look as if you fit quite a few of the requirements.

SALLY： 是的，就像我说的，他们需要一个人在他们的办公室。根据你过去的经验，你确实符合这些要求。

So on your CV it appears you've done some data entry?

你的简历显示你似乎做过一些数据录入的工作?

JOE: Yes.

JOE： 是的

SALLY: So that's one skill they want. Then they expect the person they appoint to attend meetings and take notes there …

SALLY：这是他们想要的一项技能。然后，他们希望自己指定的人可以参加会议，并在那里做记录……

JOE: OK. I've done that before, yes.

JOE： 我之前做过这样的工作。

SALLY: And you'd need to be able to cope with general admin.

SALLY：你需要能够应付基本的管理。

JOE: Filing, and keeping records and so on? That should be OK. And in my last job I also had to manage the diary.

JOE： 归档，保存记录等等?应该没问题。在我的上一份工作中，我也要管理好日记。

SALLY: Excellent. That's something they want here too. I'd suggest you add it to your CV –

SALLY：非常好。 这就是他们想要的。我建议你把它加到你的简历中。

I don't think you mentioned that, did you?

你没提过吧?

JOE: No.

JOE： 没有.

SALLY: So as far as the requirements go, they want good computer skills, of course, and they particularly mention spreadsheets.

SALLY：就要求而言，他们当然需要你有良好的计算机技能，而且他们特别提到电子表格。

JOE: That should be fine.

JOE： 这点还好。

SALLY: And interpersonal skills – which would be something they'd check with your references.

SALLY：至于人际交往能力——他们会和你的推荐人核实的。

JOE: I think that should be OK, yes.

JOE： 我想这样很好。

SALLY: Then they mention that they want someone who is careful and takes care with details – just looking at your CV, I'd say you're probably alright there.

SALLY：然后他们又说他们想找一个细心、会注意细节的人。根据你的简历，我觉得你可能还不错。

SALLY：我想他们需要一些电话会议的经验。

JOE: I've got three years' experience of that.

JOE： 我在这方面有三年的经验。

SALLY: Let's see, yes, good. In fact they're only asking for at least one year, so that's great. So is that something that might interest you?

SALLY：让我看一下，这非常好。 事实上，他们只要求至少一年，这足够了。你还对哪些事情感兴趣吗?

JOE: It is, yes. The only thing is, you said they were in North London so it would be quite a long commute for me.

JOE： 是的。唯一的问题是，你说他们在伦敦北部，所以对我来说这是一个很长的通勤时间。

SALLY: OK.

SALLY：是的。

SALLY: So the second position might suit you better as far as the location goes; that's for a warehouse assistant and that's in South London.

SALLY：所以，随着位置的原因，第二个职位可能更适合你;那是一个仓库助理，在伦敦南部。

JOE: Yes, that would be a lot closer.

JOE： 确实，这个会更近一些。

SALLY: And you've worked in a warehouse before, haven't you?

SALLY：并且你之前也在仓库工作过，对吧？

JOE: Yes.

JOE： 是的。

SALLY: So as far as the responsibilities for this position go, they want someone who can manage the stock, obviously, and also deliveries.

SALLY：就这个职位的职责而言，他们希望有人能管理库存，当然还有配送。

JOE: That should be OK. You've got to keep track of stuff, but I've always been quite good with numbers.

JOE： 应该没问题。你需要跟踪一些东西，但我一直对数字很在行。

SALLY: Good. that's their first requirement. And they want someone who's computer literate, which we know you are.

SALLY：很好，这是他们的第一个要求。他们还想要懂电脑的人，我们知道你懂。

SALLY: Sure. Then the usual stuff; they want someone who can communicate well both orally and in writing.

I found that was really essential for the job.

我发现这对这份工作很重要。

SALLY: Excellent. Yes, they do mention that they want someone who's used to that, yes. Now when you were working in a warehouse last time, what sorts of items were you dealing with?

so you can cope with the traffic and so on.

所以这样你可以应付交通等事情。

JOE: Yes, no problem.

JOE： 是的，这个没有问题。

SALLY: And you've got experience of warehouse work … and the final thing they mention is customer service. I think looking at your CV you're OK there.
