希顿先生发现大多学校写的推荐信都大同小异,迪克劝其寻求其他途径。
Heaton: Mr. Dick. Does the recommendation of the university play an important role?
Dick: Yes. In fact, the recommendation letter written by the university is an indirect self-recommendation. In the long period of cooperation, the university has established good relationship with the companies or organizations, they trust each other well. If your university recommends you, you can be approved more easily.
Heaton: But I find that most of the recommendation letters written by universities are the same. So I doubt its authority.
Dick: More and more persons have the same discoveries since most universities do that in order to save energy. If your university also does like this, you can look for other methods, because such kinds of recommendations say nothing for you.
Heaton: Could you tell me whether or not I send out my resume with it?
Dick: It depends. If it has something special or useful, I suggest you send it out.
汉语译文:
希顿:迪克先生,学校推荐作用很大吗?
迪克:是的,事实上,学校的推荐信是间接的自荐信。学校在与用人单位长期合作中,建立了良好的关系,它们相互信任,如果学校推荐你,你可能更容易被认可。
希顿:但我发现大多数学校写的推荐信都是一样,我对它的权威性感到怀疑。
迪克:许多大学都为了省力而这样做,已经有越来越多的人注意到这个问题了。如果你的大学也这样,你可以寻求其他途径,因为这样的推荐几乎没什么用。
希顿:那你能告诉我,我要不要把它和简历一起寄出?
迪克:那要依情况而定,如果其中有一些东西比较特别或有用,我建议你把它寄出去。
