Owen:Hi, I am sure glad to see you.
Henry:Are you kidding me? Why do you say so?
Owen:You know, I'm about to graduate and I have to look for a job as soon as possible. But I haven’t the faintest idea of how to go about finding a job.
Henry:OK. Let me see where to start.
Owen:I guess first I should prepare a resume, right?
Henry:Sure. You should include your name, address and phone number in your resume.
Owen:Then what else should I put into my resume?
Henry:Your job objectives, of course. In other words, what kind of job are you searching for?
Owen:I got it. Then I should mention my educating background and working experience, should I?
Henry:Yes. And don't forget to list them by date. Besides, you should begin with the most recent and then move backward.
Owen:I see. Is that all there is to it?
Henry:No, it's also necessary to list a few related interests that are in some way connected to the jobs you want to take.
Owen:Oh, good point. You mean here I should show off my special skills and talents to impress the boss.
Henry:You said it. At last you’d better attach a list of references to your resume.
Owen:That's easy.
Henry:And one more thing, smile widely.

欧文:嗨,见到你真是太高兴了。
亨利:逗我玩吧?为什么那么说?
欧文:你知道,我快要毕业了,而我得尽快找份工作。但我对如何着手找工作一无所知。
亨利:好吧。让我想想从哪开始。
欧文:我猜首先我应该准备一份简历,是不是?
亨利:没错。你应该在简历中写出你的姓名、地址和电话号码。
欧文:还有什么应该写进简历呢?
亨利:当然还有你的工作目标。换句话说,就是你要找什么样的工作?
欧文:我明白了。然后我还应该提及我的教育背景和工作经验,是不是?
亨利:是的。而且别忘了按时间顺序。此外,你应该从最近的信息写起,然后往回进行。
欧文:知道了。就这些了吗?
亨利:不,还有必要列举一下和你想做的工作相关的兴趣爱好。
欧文:噢,有道理。你是说我应该突出我的兴趣和爱好,好让老板留住我。
亨利:对了,最后你最好给你的简历附上推荐人。
欧文:那简单。
亨利:还有一点,微笑!
