 　　第47期:应聘销售人员

　　主试人米切尔询问了应试人杨茜销售方面的相关经验。

　　Mitchell: Have you had any experience with sales work?

　　Yang Qian: Yes, I have. In fact, I had worked for a foreign trade company for nearly two years, where I established business ties with several firms.

　　Mitchell: What exactly did you do at that company?

　　Yang Qian: Visit customers, dispatch¹ consignments² and things like that.

　　Mitchell: Did you like your work?

　　Yang Qian: Yes, I did.

　　Mitchell: But when and why did you leave the company?

　　Yang Qian: I left it two months ago. I didn't think I could learn much there, and there were not many opportunities for self-development.

　　Mitchell: I see. Why did you choose our company?

　　Yang Qian: I've been informed that there are many opportunities to develop myself in your company. Besides, I grew up in a city in the Northeast. I have lots of acquaintances³ in the region⁴, which might help to push sales.
