Snow: What positions have you held before?

Ben: I have been a salesman. But now, I can do public relations.

Snow: How many places have you worked altogether?

Ben: Three.

Snow: Would you give me a general description of your present job?

Ben: I am in charge of the trading department, handling invoices, shipping bills and computing freight costs.

Snow: What made you decide to change your job?

Peter: I am working in a small company where further promotion is impossible, so I decided to change my job. I'd like to find a job which is more challenging.

Notes：

1. What positions have you held before? 就是"你以前是做什么工作的"。hold a certain position，"做某個職位"。

2. I can do public relations，可以做公關工作。表示"做某種工作"，就在do后面加上職位的名稱就可以了。

3. How many places have you worked altogether? 你以前一共在幾個地方工作過?也就是問你已經換過幾份工作了?

4. Would you give me a general description of your present job? 你能描述你一下你現(xiàn)在的工作嗎?也就是想了解一下你現(xiàn)在的工作狀況。

5. Ben把自己的工作簡單地描述了一下，主要是負責了哪些事情，這是考官最想聽到的，不用面面俱到，be in charge of something，負責某事，也可以說be responsible for something.

6. Would you give me a general description of your present job? 那你為什么要辭職呢?Ben回答說現(xiàn)在的公司沒有什么晉升的機會了，他希望找一份更加有挑戰(zhàn)性的工作。陳述你辭職的原因的時候，只要說出最主要原因就可以了，千萬不要把以前公司的所有缺點意義羅列，特別是不要說以前上司和同事的壞話，這樣會給考官留下非常不好的印象。
