A Job-searching Experience
Last Friday my English teacher told me that one of her friends was looking for an English tutor. I asked for her friend’s name and phone number. I determined to seize the chance and have my first job.
I was a little nervous when I went to the woman’s house. I was told that the talk between us that day would decide whether I could take the job. However, when the woman, Lucy as she was called, welcomed me into her house, I felt much relaxed. I thought as long as I was sincere and friendly I would perform well. The conversation went on smoothly. She seemed much more interested in my habits and hobbies than how good I was at English. It happened that we have the same hobby: playing tennis. I told her about my family and school life. Obviously I succeeded and from then on I went to teach her English every weekend.
Lucy told me later that it was my sincerity that made her willingly accept me. It is true that we can play some tricks while seeking for a job, but remember to be sincere. It’s the secret of my success.
一次求职经历
上周五我的英语老师提到她的朋友正在找一名英语家教。我想老师要了她的朋友的名字和电话。我决定抓住机会拿到我的第一份工作。
当我去到她家的时候我有点紧张。我得到的消息是我们那天的谈话会让她决定是否要给我这份工作。然而Lucy——这是她的名字——对我非常友好,我轻松了很多。我认为只要我真诚友好我就可以有不错的表现。我们的谈话进行得很顺利。我似乎对我的习惯和兴趣比对我多擅长英语更感兴趣。我们碰巧有相同的爱好:打网球。我还告诉了她关于我的家庭和学校生活的事。显然我成功了,并且从那以后我每个周末都去教她学英语。
Lucy后来告诉我是我的真诚让她乐意接受我。求职时我们确实可以耍写小技巧,但记住一定要真诚。这是我成功的秘诀。
