You're listening to the second in a two-part Business English Podcast series on talking about accomplishments. This is one of an ongoing sequence of podcasts on job interviews.
你现在收听的是商务英语播客谈工作成绩的第二部分。这是求职面试的继续部分。
The theme for this episode and the last is providing 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.
本集的主题和最后部分是提供例子。在第一部分中我们看到近期毕业的大学生谈论自己的成功的好的例子和坏的例子。我们要研究的是怎样利用我们的成绩来阐述我们的技能和个性，以便深深地吸引应聘者。
In this episode, 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.
在本集中，我们来研究关于工作经验和阐释工作成绩的另外一个优秀的范例。我们来看有点工作经验的人：Yala Santos是一家制造企业的人力资源专家。她有一个机会在一家快速发展具有巨大推动力的消费公司Fun Beverages International应聘人力资源部经理一职。让我们听听Yala是怎样谈论她的巨大成绩的吧。
Ordinarily, when responding the question about your most significant accomplishment, it's very important that you prepare to tell a story that is organized and articulate. 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.
通常，当回答你最大成绩这一问题的时候，讲一个经过精心组织的并表达清晰的故事是非常重要的。这个故事应该结构完整并且讲起来比较流畅。虽然有好多种方法来做介绍，但是Yala却用了最一般的我喜欢形式。
1. You will probably need to set up the story by providing some context. Where were you? What was the situation? What was at stake, that is, what did you stand to lose or gain?
2. Recount your role in the situation. How were you involved?
3. Next, discuss what you did, including any analysis or problem solving, any process you set up, and any obstacles you had to overcome.
4. Reveal the outcome and what made you proud.
Whereas Alex gave us a good example of how someone with limited job experience might deal with the greatest achievement question, Yala shows us how someone with a more traditional employment record might address this query.
Listening Questions:
1. What was the project Yala was working on?
2. What was her role in it?
3. What did she do?
4. What was the outcome?
