生活口語：找工作（二）

Toby正在找工作。他以前在大學書店的同事Erin現在在一家電腦公司上班，所以Toby希望能利用這個關系，看看Erin能不能幫自己也在這個公司找個差事。

Toby: Hey Erin, it's great to see you again. How is your new job?

Erin: Hi Toby, it's really great. The work is really interesting, the salary is good, and the company has great benefits.

Toby: Wow! You know, I would really love to work at such a great company.

Erin: Well, I guess you can apply online if we have any positions open.

Toby: Actually, I was hoping you could recommend me directly. Here is my resume.

Erin: Oh, you brought me your resume. Well Toby, I remember that you had a very...how should I say...relaxed attitude toward work at the book store.

Toby: No way! I was a model worker! Maybe you just didn't notice.

Erin: Yes, because I was too busy helping customers.

Toby: Oh please, Erin. Isn't there any way you could help me with this? I really need a job.

 

 

Erin: Hmm...well let me look at your resum. Alright Toby, your resume says you have great computer skills. Is that true?

Erin: Toby: Of course! I have extensive experience surfing the Internet.

Erin: I see. But I'm not sure that is a real qualification.

Toby: Oh really? Well I have other important skills. For example, I'm really good at multi-tasking.

Erin: That's true. You're really good at surfing the Internet and eating your lunch at the same time.

Toby: Oh come on, Erin. I would really appreciate it if you could do this for me.

Erin: Hmm... alright Toby. I'll give your resume to our human resources department. If they want to hire you, it's their decision.

Toby: Thanks Erin, I really appreciate your help.

Erin: No problem. In fact, I will recommend you for a very important job.

Toby: Really, what's that?

Erin: My secretary. You can use your multi-tasking skills to do all my work while I surf the Internet.
