  4. Skills Focus: Listening Fiona: Hi, it’s Fiona here. I just wanted to tell you that I saw this great job ad in the newspaper the other day. Friend: You never told me that you were thinking of getting a new job! Fiona: Well, I wasn’t until I saw this one. It’s exactly what I ’ve always wanted to do. Friend: Go on then. Tell me about it.

  5. Skills Focus: Listening Fiona: Well, it’s for a Californian company called Patagonia. I’m sure you’ve heard of them before. Friend: Oh yeah, they’re the people who make outdoor clothing, right? Fiona: Exactly. Anyway they’re looking for what they call a public affairsassociate(助理/副手). It’s basically a public relations position. Friend: Do they say what sort of a person they’re looking for?

  6. Skills Focus: Listening Fiona: Well, actually the ad just says that they want someone who has experience in the press(媒体) and in PR, and who has good writing skills. Oh, and it has to be someone who’s pretty good at outdoor sports, you know, like skiing. Friend: Sounds just right for you. Don’t tell me that if you get the job you’ll be moving to America! Fiona: Oh no. I forgot to tell you, in fact they’re looking for someone whose mother tongue is German, because the job is based in Munich(慕尼黑), which would suit me just fine because, as you know, I’ve got family near there.

  7. Skills Focus: Listening Friend: Do you know how much the job pays? Fiona: No, … they don’t say anything about money. But I’m going to apply anyway. I’m sure I’ll find that out if I get as far as the interview. Friend: When will they be doing the interviews? Fiona: In the ad it says during the last week of February.

  15. Homework: P25 Write the CV

  16. Listening 1: P25 听录音 Personnel Manager: The most important thing when interviewing a candidate is his character, his ability to react（反应）, his intelligence, and his suitability（适合） for the position that… which… for which he is being interviewed. Interviewer: And uh, to what extent does the person’s appearance influence your decision?

  17. Listening 1: P25 Personnel Manager: It doesn’t influence the decision, uh, but does have some bearing on（有关系） the decision, if you can take the difference between the two. It is important that the guy, the person, is well presented, is neat and tidy, and that he has a good manner, uh, because that shows a lot about his personality. Interviewer: Do you expect the candidate to be prepared in any way for the interview, or how should he prepare himself for the interview?

  18. Listening 1: P25 Personnel Manager: Well, it’s not a question of preparing himself. In the position in which I am, uh, normally the candidate’s had at least one or maybe two interviews with other members, more junior member of staff before he gets to my level, unless the particular candidate is going to report to me, and in which case I expect the person concerned to have a fairly good knowledge of : (1) what the company does, (2)what he’s going to be expected to do, and (3) who he’s going to report to. Those things, those three items are very, very important and if the candidate, uh, does not give an impression of either understanding one of those three items, then obviously then he gets marked down（打分低） accordingly（因此）.

  19. Listening 1: P25 Interviewer: How does a candidate go wrong? Personnel Manager: The major way a candidate goes wrong is by basically becoming a yes-man or a yes-woman and agreeing with everything you say. What is most important…One of the most important things about interviewing a candidate is the chemistry(默契)between somebody, between the two people in the interview, em, it’s very very important---

  20. Listening 1: P25 Personnel Manager: -he has to have a spark(火花), you have to feel as though that guy is going to contribute, that guy’s going to be good and you’re going to get something out of that person and he has to show himself to be not just “Yes sir, thank you very much. Yes I agree with that, I agree with that”. Sometimes I lay a dummy (假的/虚构的) questions in which I want a “no” answer and if he continues to say “yes” then he goes down.

  21. Listening 1: P25 Interviewer: What would your advice be to a candidate, er, going to an interview. How would you advise him? Personnel Manager: Uh, the first thing I would say to him is first of all to listen, secondly, to ask the right questions, and thirdly, perhaps the most important, is to create the right relationship which is, I guess, an adult-to-adult relationship with the interviewee or the interviewer.

  22. Listening 1: P25 Personnel Manager: It is very important and that’s what I said before is when you get a yes-man in front of you, or a yes-woman, then that person is obviously not creating an adult-to-adult conversation. He’s creating an adult-to-child conversation and in most cases, managers are not, if they’re good and they know what they want, they’re not going to be interested in employing a child.

  23. Listening 2: P26 Personnel Manager: The interview normally takes place by me being informed by the secretary or the telephonist that the candidate has arrived, in which case, um, I leave my office and go and greet him in the reception (接待)area and bring him personally into my office and sit him across the desk, or across my office desk to me, and we proceed, uh, from there… I normally start by asking the candidate to tell me what he… since he’s been probably through two or three other interviews previous… what the job is that he’s being expected to do, just to make sure that he understands fully.

  24. Listening 2: P26 Personnel Manager: Then I ask him to tell me a little bit about the company that we’re working for, that I’m working for anyway, so that he’s at least understood exactly what we do or the basics of what we do anyway… er then I normally review his CV, and in particular either his previous employment (工作) or his current employment which is very important. Basically this is done to try to draw the candidate out, see how good he is at expressing himself, and to see what kind of character he is.

  25. Listening 2: P26 Personnel Manager: Then I normally give him my view of what the position is that we’re recruiting for and also my view about the company, then I normally give him a period of 5 to 10 minutes to ask some questions. Then I go back to him and just talk about him, and maybe then when he’s fully relaxed, or more relaxed, put in a few of the trick（欺骗的/捉弄的）questions, not a few, I would say usually normally one or maybe two maximum（最多）. As I said in a previous question, it normally lasts a minimum （最少）of 45 minutes if the candidate is up to scratch（令人满意的）and can go on for about an hour.
