職場白領口語對話第9期:面試完了,還是很緊張~~

【Trancript】

Still a little on edge

A：Any plans tonight?

B：Not really, do you?

A：Well, I am wondering if we took a hang-out for a drink or something. You know, I just came back from a really tough interview. I was quite nervous during the interview. I really want to have the job. Right now, I am still a little on the edge. I am not sure if I could convince them during the interview.

B：Take it easy. It is all over now. How was it going, anyway?

A：I don’t know. I think I did well in the paper exams. I was prepared to answer a lot of questions, but they didn’t ask those as I expected. To my surprise, the manager tried to talk about the Chinese poesy with me.

B：That’s strange. But probably, it is the new interview technique they call it “Getting to know you more personally”. What about your answers?

A：Just did my best.

【Translation】

還是有一點放不下

A：晚上有什麼計劃沒？

B：沒有，你呢？

A：要不咱們還是去老地方喝一杯，怎樣？你知道，我剛剛經歷了一場艱難的面試。我面試的時候太緊張了。我真的很希望能夠獲得這份工作。剛剛我還有點緊張。我不知道自己能不能被他們選中。

B：別想太多了。都結束了。面試究竟怎樣？

A：我也不清楚。筆試還不錯。我提前準備了很多問題，不過他們都沒問到。讓我吃驚的是，那個經理竟然和我討論中國詩歌。

B：確實很奇怪。不過，或許，這就所謂的新的“更關注你個人”的面試吧，你是怎麼回答的呢？

A：我就是盡力而爲了。
