You're listening to the second in a two-part Business English Podcast series on talking about accomplishments. This is one of an ongoing sequence of podcasts on job interviews.

你現(xiàn)在收聽的是商務(wù)英語(yǔ)播客談工作成績(jī)的第二部分。這是求職面試的繼續(xù)部分。

The theme for this episode and the last is providing examples. In the first part, we looked at a bad and good version of a recent university graduate talking about his academic successes. Westudied how to use our accomplishments to demonstrate skills and characteristics that will beattractive to our potential employer.

本集的主題和最后部分是提供例子。在第一部分中我們看到近期畢業(yè)的大學(xué)生談?wù)撟约旱某晒Φ暮玫睦雍蛪牡睦?。我們要研究的是怎樣利用我們的成?jī)來(lái)闡述我們的技能和個(gè)性，以便深深地吸引應(yīng)聘者。

In this episode, we examine another good response to the question about previousexperience and describing your accomplishments. We’ll be looking at someone with a little more job experience: Yala Santos is an HR specialist who is working in a manufacturing company. She now has an opportunity to interview for an HR manager position in a business unit of a fast moving consumer goods company, Fun Beverages International. Let's listen to how Yala deals with talking about her greatest achievement.

在本集中，我們來(lái)研究關(guān)于工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)和闡釋工作成績(jī)的另外一個(gè)優(yōu)秀的范例。我們來(lái)看有點(diǎn)工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人：Yala Santos是一家制造企業(yè)的人力資源專家。她有一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)在一家快速發(fā)展具有巨大推動(dòng)力的消費(fèi)公司Fun Beverages International應(yīng)聘人力資源部經(jīng)理一職。讓我們聽聽Yala是怎樣談?wù)撍木薮蟪煽?jī)的吧。

Ordinarily, when responding the question about your most significant accomplishment, it's very important that you prepare to tell a story that is organized and articulate. That means the story should be well structured and flow smoothly. Though there are many ways to make yourpresentation, Yala uses the same general format that I like to follow.

通常，當(dāng)回答你最大成績(jī)這一問題的時(shí)候，講一個(gè)經(jīng)過(guò)精心組織的并表達(dá)清晰的故事是非常重要的。這個(gè)故事應(yīng)該結(jié)構(gòu)完整并且講起來(lái)比較流暢。雖然有好多種方法來(lái)做介紹，但是Yala卻用了最一般的我喜歡形式。

1. You will probably need to set up the story by providing some context. Where were you? What was the situation? What was at stake, that is, what did you stand to lose or gain?

2. Recount your role in the situation. How were you involved?

3. Next, discuss what you did, including any analysis or problem solving, any process you set up, and any obstacles you had to overcome.

4. Reveal the outcome and what made you proud.

Whereas Alex gave us a good example of how someone with limited job experience might deal with the greatest achievement question, Yala shows us how someone with a more traditionalemployment record might address this query.

Listening Questions:

1. What was the project Yala was working on?

2. What was her role in it?

3. What did she do?

4. What was the outcome?
