Jennifer has just finished work and is meeting her friend Anton for a drink.

Jennifer刚刚完成工作，在与她的朋友Anton喝东西。

Anton: So how is everything?

Anton:最近怎么样？

Jennifer: Oh God! Work is a nightmare; it"s really getting me down...

Jennifer:天啊！工作简直就是一场噩梦，让我失望透顶。

Anton: What"s the problem?

Anton:碰到什么问题了吗？

Jennifer: Everything, it"s just so boring. Worst of all is my boss. He

smokes all the time so the office always stinks and yesterday he

asked me out for dinner.

Jennifer:什么都不对劲,这份工作太无趣了。最糟糕的是我的老板。他不断地抽烟，弄得办公室都是难闻的味道。昨天他竟然还邀请我共进晚餐。

Anton: So what? He"s just being friendly.

Anton:那又怎么样？他只是出于友好。

Jennifer: Too friendly, if you know what I mean.

Jennifer:过于友好了， 你知道我指的是什么。

Anton: Sounds like you need to find a new job. I suppose you have to

update your CV. Come round and tomorrow and I"ll help.

Anton:这么说来你需要找一份新的工作。我想你需要更新一下你的简历。明天来我家吧，我会帮助你。

Next day Jennifer arrives at Anton"s flat.

第二天，Jennifer来到Anton的住处。

Jennifer: Thanks for offering to help.

Jennifer:谢谢你主动帮忙。

Anton: No worries. We"ll soon knock your CV into shape.

Anton:别担心，我们马上就能让你的简历初具雏形。

Jennifer: Cheers, I don"t even know where to start.

Jennifer:太好了，我都不知道该怎么开始。

Anton: It’s not difficult. You just have to lay out all your work

experience and education in chronological order...then go online and

start checking out vacancies.

Anton:这并不难。你只需要按逻辑列举出你所有的工作经历和受过的教育，然后上网查询有那些岗位空缺就行了。

After completing her CV Jennifer went home to surf the net. She

posted over 30 emails enquiring about jobs. One week later she is

resting at home when Anton calls.

做完简历后，Jennifer回到家上网冲浪。她发出了30封求职的邮件。一个星期后，当她在家中休息的时候，Anton打来电话。

Anton: Any luck with the applications?

Anton:发出的申请表有回应吗？

Jennifer: Hi there, none at all. All rejections so far. Still waiting

for a few to get back to me. Anything particularly interesting?

Jennifer:还没有。不过说都被拒绝了还为时过早。我还在等一些公司的答复。有什么有意思的工作吗？

Anton: Yeah, job with Siemens as PR Specialist but it looks like they aren"t

interested in me...

Anton:是呀，Siemens公关专员的工作还不错，可是好像他们对我不太感兴趣。
