BEP 87 ADV - Job Interviews in English: 談論成就 (部分 2) | 商務英語播客

You’re listening to the second in a two-part 商務英語 Podcast series on talking about accomplishments. This is one of an ongoing sequence of podcasts on 英語面試.

The theme for this episode and the last is provide examples. In the first part, we looked at a bad and good version of a recent university graduate talking about his academic successes. We studied how to use our accomplishments to demonstrate skills and characteristics that will be attractive to our potential employer.

在本課中, we examine another good response to the question about previous experience and describing your accomplishments. We’ll be looking at someone with a little more job experience: Yala Santos is an HR specialist who is working in a manufacturing company. She now has an opportunity to interview for an HR manager position in a business unit of a fast moving consumer goods company, Fun Beverages International. Let’s listen to how Yala deals with talking about her greatest achievement.

通常, when responding the question about your most significant accomplishment, 準備講一個有條理和清晰的故事非常重要. That means the story should be well structured and flow smoothly. Though there are many ways to make your presentation, Yala uses the same general format that I like to follow.
