Dialogue 2

I: Let's start the interview with some questions. Tell me about yourself and your past experience.

I: 我們開始面試吧。說說你自己和過去的一些經(jīng)驗吧。

A: I have 10 years financial industry experience, working for several companies. For the past two years, I have been working in an investment banking. In addition to my analytical mindset, I have a background of solid accounting principles. I am a team player and have great communication and interpersonal skills. I thrive on challenge and work well in high-stress environments.

A: 我有十年的金融行業(yè)工作經(jīng)驗，為幾家公司工作過。過去的兩年，我一直在一家投資銀行工作。我不僅具有分析能力而且還有扎實的會計原理知識。我具有團隊精神，善于和人交流，懂得人際關(guān)系的技巧。我善于應(yīng)付挑戰(zhàn)，也能在壓力大的環(huán)境下工作很出色。

I: What finance experience have you had that qualifies you for this position?

I: 你認(rèn)為你具有什么樣的金融經(jīng)驗使你能勝任這個職位？

A: My background and experience include working on a variety of projects and jobs in the financial industry. Most of my experience has been behind the scenes, doing the calculations. I want to work with clients and continue to grow and be challenged.

A: 我的背景和經(jīng)驗包括我在金融業(yè)參與過各類項目、做過不同的工作。我的大部分經(jīng)驗都是幕后做一些計算方面的工作。我想和客戶打交道，不斷完善自己，接受各種挑戰(zhàn)。

I: Why did you leave your last position?

I: 你為什么要離開以前的工作呢？

A: I'm not finding the work as challenging as I used to. I want to find a job that is stimulating, where I can grow.

A: 我發(fā)現(xiàn)這工作不像我原來認(rèn)為的那么具有挑戰(zhàn)性，我想找一份有刺激性的工作，這樣可以進(jìn)步。

I: What are your strengths and weaknesses?

I: 你的優(yōu)點和缺點是什么？

A: One of my strengths is my ability to be flexible. I have seen companies go through many changes in structure and management philosophy. I have had to adjust my style to the new environment several times. As far as weaknesses, I really enjoy my work, and sometimes I put in too much time. But by being aware of my tendency to overwork, I have learned to pace myself more and work less overtime.

A: 我的一個優(yōu)點就是具有靈活性，我目睹了公司在結(jié)構(gòu)和管理思想上的眾多變化，而且好多次我必須調(diào)整我的方式以適應(yīng)新環(huán)境。就缺點而言，我非常喜歡工作，有時投入了太多的時間，但我已意識到這一點，學(xué)會了調(diào)節(jié)自己，減少加班。

I: How would your boss describe you and your work style?

I: 你的老板會如何評價你和你的工作方式呢？

A: She'd say I have a lot of initiative, I see the big picture and I do what has to be done. Second, I always meet deadlines. If I say I'm going to do something, I do it. Lastly, I have the ability to focus on what I'm working on I am not easily distracted.

A: 她會說我很積極、顧全大局，會做完所有需要做的事情。其次，我總能在期限前完成任務(wù)。如果我說做某一件事，我就一定會做。最后一點，我能集中精力做事情——不會輕易受干擾。

I: What are your salary expectations?

I: 你希望的薪水是多少？

A: I'm sure whatever you offer will be a fair amount for a person with my qualifications. Salary is not the most important factor to me. I'm looking for opportunity.

A: 我相信你會給我提供一個合理的數(shù)目。對我來說，薪水不是最重要的，我尋找的是機會。

I: Do you have any questions?

I: 你有問題要問嗎？

A: Yes, I do. What do you see as the future trends for the industry?

A: 有，你如何看待將來這個行業(yè)的發(fā)展趨勢？
