    1.Interview我要找工作

    常用应急场景

    范例一:I am working on it

    Hi, Monica, how is everything going?

    Everything goes well, but I am thinking about quitting my current job.

    Why? You’re not satisfied anymore?

    I just sense. But I cannot grow anymore. My boss is not really supporting me. I am interested in some positions in other JV companies, but I need to do some more in-step research before I send my application letters out.

    That is important. Doing research on a company you are interested in will definitely help your application.

    Certainly, it is very nice talking with you. But I really have to go now. Catch you later.

    Ok, good luck to you.

    范例二:Calling a company

    ABC Company, my name is Lucy. How can I help you?

    Hello, Lucy, this is Monica. I’m calling for the accountant position. I saw the information about the vacancy on your company’s website. Is it still available?

    Thank you for your interest. The position is still available. Have you already sent your CV to us?

    No, not yet. First, I want to check about the availability and see if you could give more information.

    It is urgent for us to fill this position now and I would like to stress that English is a must because of the international contacts and most likely traveling abroad very soon. If all these is not problem for you, I recommend you to mention these in your cover letter and send it to me directly.

    The notification period of my current job is not that long and I’m quite profession to English and I am happy with the traveling abroad as I’m good dealing with the people from other cultures. It makes the whole job even more interesting. I will send my resume to you still this week.

    范例三:E-resume or paper resume

    Hello, Lucy. This is Monica again. I have a question.

    Please ask.

    I was wondering what kind of resume do you prefer, an e-resume or paper one?

    For this position we prefer e-resume at the very beginning. Please send it to our department’s e-mail box.

    Ok, thank you.

    You’re welcome.

    R: Hi, Monica, Richard again. Have you ever heard about our company? It is an international one with good reputation. We have a lot of successful cases. If you’re trying advance your career, I would love to help you. XYZ Company is one of our clients. They’re in need of the talent like you. Would you be interested in taking part in an interview? It is scheduled some time within this week.

    M: Thank you for calling. I really appreciate your kindness. But right now, I’m very busy preparing for an interview of another company. I don’t think I am available for this opportunity.

    R: Ok, I see. Good luck to you. You have my number. Call me when you change your mind. I can send you more detailed information about company and jobs you might be interested in if you give me your private e-mail address.

    常用应急场景

    范例一:Three rounds is successful

    Good afternoon. How can I help you?

    Good afternoon. My name is Monica. I am here for the job interview at 2 PM.

    Ok, please first fill in the form. and return it to me. You can do it in the next door.

    Done. Here is my paper.

    Everybody attention. I would like to make sure you all know the process. The interview consists of three parts. One, all of the interviewees will answer the question there and lasts for maximum one hour. Two, we will take a 30-minute’s break. After the break, we all come back to this office and I will announce the successful candidates for the 2nd round. In which, you have a small interview with your future manager.

    What about the 3rd round?

    Good question. But I will tell you when you pass the first two.

    范例二:Meeting the manager

    Good afternoon. I suppose you are Ms. Monica. My name is Mr. Thomas, the general manager of ABC Company. Here is my business card.

    Thank you very much.

    I am very impressed by your resume. Therefore, I am very interested to know why you’re willing to leave your current company.

    I am looking for a more challenging position. I can’t grow anymore in my current job.

    Ok, I understand. But why you choose us to work for?

    I have studied carefully the information about your company on the internet and I have checked your company’s homepage. I am impressed by the company. And I like the products a lot. Since you’re growing steadily, I would be very eager to help you to improve your accounting system.

    How do you work with a team?

    I work quite well with a team. I’m a good team player. I respect people, cooperate well with member’s team. And I will do my best to help team members.

    What’s your long term goal?

    I’d like to bring to ABC Company not only my technical skills, ambition, enthusiasm, but also my loyalty, a sensor desire to become an administrative assistant. It is the hardest of my career plans.

    5.面试终于结束了

    常用应急场景

    范例一:It is enough for today

    It is enough for today. Do you have any last question? If not, thank you for taking your time to come to our interview.

    You’re welcome. For the moment, I have no further questions. I got a good picture of the job and the company. All my questions have been answered. Thank you for your time.

    We will have an internal discussion and then we will contact to inform. you of our decision on whether we continue with you or not.

    Ok, it was very nice to talk with you and I look forward to your decision at your earliest convenience. Bye.

    Goodbye.

    范例二:Still a little on the edge

    Any plans tonight?

    Not really, do you?

    Well, I am wondering if we took a hang-out for a drink or something. You know, I just came back from a really tough interview. I was quite nervous during the interview. I really want to have the job. Right now, I am still a little on the edge. I am not sure if I could convince them during the interview.

    Take it easy. It is all over now. How was it going, anyway?

    I don’t know. I think I did well in the paper exams. I was prepared to answer a lot of questions, but they didn’t ask those as I expected. To my surprise, the manager tried to talk about the Chinese poesy with me.

    That’s strange. But probably, it is the new interview technique they call it “Getting to know you more personally”. What about your answers?

    Just did my best.

  • Writing Effective E-Mail: Top 10 Tips

    2008-12-10 14:46:28

    From: http://jerz.setonhill.edu/writing/e-text/e-mail.htm

    1. Write a meaningful subject line.

    Recipients scan the subject line in order to decide whether to open, forward, file, or trash a message. Remember -- your message is not the only one in your recipient's mailbox.

    No Subject: "Important! Read Immediately!!"
      What is important to you may not be important to your reader. Rather than brashly announcing that the secret contents of your message are important, write an informative headline that actually communicates at least the core of what you feel is so important: "Emergency: All Cars in the Lower Lot Will Be Towed in 1 Hour."
    [I have my e-mail filter set to trash e-mail messages with more than one exclamation mark in the subject line. Anyone who shouts at me is being abusive, trying to sell me something, or both. --DGJ]
    No Subject: "Meeting"
      The purpose of this e-mail might be a routine request for a meeting, an announcement of a last-minute rescheduling, or a summary of something that has already happened. There's no way to know without opening the message, so this subject line is hardly useful.
    Maybe Subject: "Follow-up about Meeting"
      Fractionally better -- provided that the recipient recognizes your name and remembers why a follow-up was necessary.
    Yes Subject: "Do we need a larger room for meeting next Fri?"
      Upon reading this revised, informative subject line, the recipient immediately starts thinking about the size of the room, not about whether it will be worth it to open the e-mail.

    My e-mail accounts get dozens of virus-bearing junk mails each day, often bearing a vague title such as "That file you requested," or no title at all. You'll get a faster response if your recipient can tell from the subject line that it's a real message from a real person.

    2. Keep the message focused and readable. 

    Often recipients only read partway through a long message, hit "reply" as soon as they have something to contribute, and forget to keep reading. This is part of human nature.

    If your e-mail contains multiple messages that are only loosely related, in order to avoid the risk that your reader will reply only to the first item that grabs his or her fancy, you could number your points to ensure they are all read (adding an introductory line that states how many parts there are to the message). If the points are substantial enough, split them up into separate messages so your recipient can delete, respond, file, or forward each item individually.

    Keep your message readable.

    • Use standard capitalization and spelling, especially when your message asks your recipient to do work for you. If you are a teenager, writing a quick gushing "thx 4 ur help 2day ur gr8" may make a busy professional smile at your gratitude... but there comes a time when the sweetness of the gesture isn't enough. i dont think u want ur prof r ur boss 2 think u cant typ LOL ;-)
    • Skip lines between paragraphs.
    • Avoid fancy typefaces. Don't depend upon bold font or large size to add nuances -- many people's e-mail readers only display plain text. In a pinch, use asterisks to show *emphasis*.
    • Don't type in all-caps. Online, all-caps means shouting. Regardless of your intention, people will react as if you meant to be aggressive.

    3. Avoid attachments

    Put your information the the body of your e-mail whenever possible. Attachments

    • are increasingly dangerous carriers of viruses
    • take time to download
    • take up needless space on your recipient's computer, and 
    • don't always translate correctly (especially for people who might read their e-mail on portable devices).

    Instead of sending a whole word processor file, just copy and paste the relevant text into the e-mail (unless of course your recipient actually needs to view file in order to edit or archive it).

    [I'm annoyed when people send bulk e-mails with attached pdf or Word documents that contain nothing more than a few paragraphs of ordinary text. I'd much rather get a plain text message, with a link to where I can download the full version if I want to enjoy all the colors and typefaces. Sending a 1MB attachment to hundreds or thousands of employees is a huge waste of digital resources. -- DGJ]

    4. Identify yourself clearly. 

    When contacting someone cold, always include your name, occupation, and any other important identification information in the first few sentences.

    If you are following up on a face-to-face contact, you might appear too timid if you assume your recipient doesn't remember you; but you can drop casual hints to jog their memory: "I enjoyed talking with you about PDAs in the elevator the other day."

    5. Be kind. Don't flame.

    To "flame" someone is to write an abusive personal attack. If you find yourself writing in anger, take a break. Take some time to cool off before you hit "send." Don't "flame" without weighing the consequences.

    6. Proofread

    If you are asking someone else to do work for you, take the time to make your message look professional.

    While your spell checker won't catch every mistake, at the very least it will catch a few typos. If you are sending a message that will be read by someone higher up on the chain of command (a superior or professor, for instance), or if you're about to mass-mail dozens or thousands of people, take an extra minute or two before you hit "send". Show a draft to a close associate, in order to see whether it actually makes sense.

    7. Don't assume privacy.

    Unless you are Donald Trump, praise in public, and criticize in private. Don't send anything over e-mail that you wouldn't want posted -- with your name attached -- in the break room. 

    E-mail is not secure. Just as random pedestrians could easily reach into your mailbox and intercept the envelopes that you send and receive through the post office, a curious hacker, a malicious criminal, or the FBI can easily intercept your e-mail. In some companies, the e-mail administrator has the ability to read any and all e-mail messages (and may fire you if you write anything inappropriate).

    8. Distinguish between formal and informal situations. 

    When you are writing to a friend or a close colleague, it is OK to use "smilies" :-) , abbreviations (IIRC for "if I recall correctly", LOL for "laughing out loud," etc.) and nonstandard punctuation and spelling (like that found in instant messaging or chat rooms). These linguistic shortcuts are generally signs of friendly intimacy, like sharing cold pizza with a family friend. If you tried to share that same cold pizza with a first date, or a visiting dignitary, you would give off the impression that you did not really care about the meeting. By the same token, don't use informal language when your reader expects a more formal approach. Always know the situation, and write accordingly.

    9. Respond Promptly. 

    If you want to appear professional and courteous, make yourself available to your online correspondents. Even if your reply is, "Sorry, I'm too busy to help you now," at least your correspondent won't be waiting in vain for your reply.

    10. Show Respect and Restraint

    Many a flame war has been started by someone who hit "reply all" instead of "reply."

    While most people know that e-mail is not private, it is good form to ask the sender before forwarding a personal message. If someone e-mails you a request, it is perfectly acceptable to forward the request to a person who can help -- but forwarding a message in order to ridicule the sender is tacky.

    Use BCC instead of CC when sending sensitive information to large groups. (For example, a professor sending a bulk message to students who are in danger of failing, or an employer telling unsuccessful applicants that a position is no longer open.) The name of everyone in the CC list goes out with the message, but the names of people on the BCC list ("blind carbon copy") are hidden. Put your own name in the "To" box if your mail editor doesn't like the blank space.

    Be tolerant of other people's etiquette blunders. If you think you've been insulted, quote the line back to your sender and add a neutral comment such as, "I'm not sure how to interpret this... could you elaborate?"
