A Could you do me a favor and proofread my resume before I send it out to the human recources department?

我把簡歷寄給人力資源部之前，你能幫忙校對一下嗎？

B Sure, let me take a look... Personal Information, Education, Experience, Training... I think you should add another section for language. You speak three languages, so you might as well put that on your resume.

當然可以,讓我看看……個人信息、教育、經歷、培訓……我認為你應該把這一項再加上。你會講三種語言，所以最好把這些寫進簡歷。

A But languages don't have anything to do with engineering. Shouldn't everything I put on my resume have something to do with my field?

可是語言與工程技術沒什么關系。我寫進簡歷的東西不一定都與我的研究領域相關吧？

B Not necessarily. I think people would be impressed by your language abilities. It says something about your level of intellect and experience. Also, I think human resources directors want to see more of a well-rounded person in a resume.

不一定。我想人們會對你的語言能力留下深刻的印象。這能說明你的智商水平和經歷。而且，我認為人力資源部門的領導希望從簡歷中更多地了解一下一個更全面發(fā)展的人才.

A It's just a piece of paper, you think that they can tell if I am a well-rounded person by looking at it?

這只不過是一張紙，你認為他們看一下就能知道我是個全面發(fā)展的人才嗎？

B Well, you're right, the resume is limited in how much it can tell someone about a person. That's why job interviews are important to let people know the real you that they can't see from a piece of paper. But resumes can be helpful in explaining things and giving a good impression to a potential employer.

好了，你說的對，簡歷在說明一個人有多大能力方面確實是有限的。這也是為什么求職面試那么重要，它能讓人們了解真實的你，這是他們從紙上無法看出來的。可是簡歷說明一些情況方面還是有幫助的，而且能給你未來的老板留下良好印象。
