商务英语情景口语 准备面试（1）（在线收听）

PH: So, how many applications did we get, Marcia?

MB: Well...overall we’ve got over two hundred...

PH: That many!? MB: Yes, but...most of which we can discard right away...people who don’t have the right experience, qualifications that kind of thing...

PH: Of course...

MB: ...and then we get the people who submit ten-page long CVs, or CVs in comicbook font, or green ink, or they attach a photo of themselves disco dancing...you know the kind of thing!

MB: So, I whittled down the serious candidates to a short-list of twelve people.

PH: And we’ll interview all of them?

MB: I think we should – but obviously I’ll let you have a look first.

PH: Great...so, who have we got then? MB: Well, I think we’ve got some pretty strong candidates, two in particular...

PH: They have the right kind of profile?

MB: I’d certainly say so – a strong educational background, experience in multinational sales, language skills...

PH: Good, I look forward to meeting them.

MB: So I’d say we do for the standard interview format..

PH: Sure..

MB: A few general questions, then onto specifics...

PH: Yes, exactly – I want to hear specific details of when they’ve solved problems...

MB: Yes and then something about “vision”, as you put it...

PH: Yes...what do you think about a brief presentation?

MB: I think that’s a good idea – we could ask them to give a short presentation on where they see the company going – and how they see themselves taking us there.

PH: Great! You know something? I’m really looking forward to this!
