这节商务英语播客是3节系列课程的第1节，将涉及第1份工作面试。
Job interviews can make anyone nervous. After all, you want to make the best impression you can. But as a new graduate, you have an added challenge: little formal job experience. You need to prove to the employer that your studies and university experiences relate to the job you’re seeking.
面试会令人紧张。毕竟，你想给对方留下最好的印象。但是作为刚毕业的大学生，你有更多的挑战：你只有很少的正式工作的经验。你需要向雇主证明你具有与工作相关的学习和大学经历。
Today, we’ll cover some ways to help you connect your college experiences to an employer’s job requirements. We’ll look at making introductions and explaining ground rules and interview format. We’ll also look at two types of common questions – “tell me about yourself?” and discussing your education.
