大家听出来了吗?Stella和Amy的对话发生在社交场合(某餐厅)。在谈论工作之前，两人先点评了餐厅的汉堡，算是稍稍地寒暄了一下。用这种方式引入正题非常值得大家借鉴。

　　A: Ah, the burgers here are amazing. Have you tried them?

　　S: I have. My company has parties here sometimes. Always great food.

　　A: Oh, I bet.

　　基本问题

　　接下来，Amy很自然地询问Stella在公司工作了多久："So how long have you been working at Biosociates?" Stella的回答是："I&aposve been there since 2007. I started right after I got my BS in computer science."

　　在谈论工作之初，对方往往会问我们一些基本的问题，如公司名称、你的职位头衔、任职时长等。在回答此类问题时，也可以顺便提及你的教育背景、升职经历和职业转变等。下面就是几个很好的例子：

　　I&aposve been working as an HR assistant for the last four years.(职位头衔、任职时长)

　　I&aposve been with Henderson since leaving college. (公司名称、任职时长)

　　I started here two years ago after I got my master&aposs degree in Biology.(任职时长、教育背景)

　　I was a junior copywriter until I was promoted last summer.(职位头衔、升职经历)

　　I changed careers in the mid-90s and became a teacher.(职位名称、职业转变)

　　工作职责

　　之后，Amy提出了与工作职责相关的具体问题。

　　A: And what are your day-to-day duties like?

　　S: Basically, I&aposm the go-to person for everything IT.

　　A: In what way?

　　S: Well, for the most part, it&aposs mainly trouble shooting and training. But I also supervise the help desk.

　　A: Sounds like a lot. Have you worked on many specific projects?

　　S: Sure. I wrote up the tax support manuals for employees; you know, taking on some of the most common issues so that they can do some trouble shooting for themselves.

　　在介绍自己的工作职责时，大家要记得说明细节和使用描述性动词。通常，我们会提到：

　　所在领域或行业(IT)

　　日常工作事务(trouble shooting, training and supervise the help desk)

　　正在或曾经参与的项目(wrote up the tax support manuals)

　　做个小练习吧!
