apparent ~ approximate

   To appeal to an employer, the applicant¹ decided² to apply in person, rather than wait to be offered an appointment. She didn't appreciate that her sudden appearance might not be appreciated. The employer was in the appliance industry. He didn't approve of her approach and said that if he was going to appoint anybody, there must be a written application. He said he needed to decied whether an interview would be applicable and if so, he could then make an approximate time to see her. He added that she could not expect to appropriate his time or approximate his staff in the way she did . The staff immediately broke into loud applause. They thought this would be a way to gain his approval, because the employer had a huge appetite for new experiences. They didn't expect that he also had na apparent dislike of not being in control. To all appearances it seemed that no appeal would be possible now, to have the employer approach this situation in her favor. However, he then said that because she had appropriate experience, he would give her a job on approval for 2 weeks.

   为了使自己更有吸引力，一位申请人决定亲自前往申请工作，而不是坐等约定见面。她没有意识到她的突然出现可能不被赏识。雇主从事的是器具行业。他不赞成她的方式并告诉她如果他打算任命某人，必须先有书面申请。他说他需要先确定安排面试看是否合适，如果是，他会定一个大概的时候与她见面。他还补充说她不能指望能够侵占他的时候，也不能用她的这种方式接近他的下属。他的下属马上对此报以热烈的掌声。他们原以为这样可能会得到他的认可，因为这位老板对新体验有很大的欲望，他们没想到他也显然不喜欢控制不了局面。就外表看来，什么恳求也没有用，都不能使老板以有利于她的方式接近处理这个问题。不过后来他说因为她具备适当的经验，他会给她两个星期的试用期。
