英語面試中最令人撓頭的六句話

NO.1 我最近六個(gè)月一直宅在家里

撓頭系數(shù)：三顆星

表達(dá)難點(diǎn)：全球都經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)了，找不到工作在家睡覺六個(gè)月算是什么丟人的事兒么？當(dāng)然不是！不過您可千萬別實(shí)話實(shí)說---I have been unemployed/jobless in the past six months. 又不是演員試鏡，用不著把氣氛渲染得這么凄慘。

表述技巧：當(dāng)你的工作經(jīng)歷中間有比較大段的時(shí)間空白的時(shí)候，面試官不可避免的會(huì)問到這段時(shí)間你的whereabouts。 這里應(yīng)該盡量避免出現(xiàn)unemployed這種負(fù)面氣場(chǎng)比較強(qiáng)烈的詞。用一個(gè)詞組“in between jobs”就可以委婉地表示這樣的意思了。當(dāng)然，最好的方式是告訴你的面試官：這半年雖然沒有正式的工作，我可是一直沒停止像金子一樣的發(fā)光！
