A:Correct,so do you have any plans when you finish at Oxford?
Li: I've got another year to go and then I suppose I'll go back home.
A; And you will find a job?
Li:I think I have to do my Master's before I look for work.But I must admit London is very special.Do you think you would ever leave London?
A:Sure, I'd love to come to china one day, and I like traveling. But i think I'll always come back here.
Li:Well, your roots are here and there are so many opportunities.
A;But have you ever thought of living in London for a year or two?
Li:Yes, but what could I do here? I had planned to become a teacher.But i have often thought if there was a job i could do here in publishing,maybe as an editor, I'll go for it.
A:That's sounds like a great idea.I think that would really suit you
Li:Maybe I should update my CV and send it to one or two publisher.

Outsideview :How to get a job
Graduation.What a big day!Your life is about to begin!And then your parents say..."Get a job".I tell you!Looking for your first job out of college can be pretty hard.Reading all the job listing is so annoying.Even trying to figure out what the actual job is can be difficult.Searching through the want ads can be so boring.And writing your resume is really hard work.
"I don't have that day open."Getting a job interview,and then going on it—the whole process is pretty tough.
"Sorry to keep you waiting.Uh,have a seat.""I have your resume here,and you are interested in the assistant's position."
"Yeah,yeah"
"Well,the right candidate for this job has to be very outgoing and sociable.After all it is a sale position."
"Well, I'm a real extrovert(性格外向的人).Definitely."
"And the right candidate has to have great self-confidence.Customers need to feel that you know what you're talking about."
"Well, I'm really self-confident.Um I know what I'm talking about and I think I can project that"
"So,what skills would you bring to this job?"
""Well, I realize that I'm completely overqualified for this position.I mean,um,in my last job,I was running the whole place."
"Oh,so you've supervised people?"
"Yep,five of them.So,obviously I could do this job,no problem.I also have really good
computer skills.Um what else do you want to know about me?"
"Eh..."
Even though I was trying really hard,even though I had sent out about 300 resumes,even though I asked all my friend and relatives if they knew of anything.I wasn't getting anywhere!Despite all my best efforts,I was still unemployed.
"Please,why don't you see a career counsellor(顾问)?I'll pay for it.Anything to help you get a job!"
"Samantha,I'm Phyllis Stein.Welcome""Oh,hi,Phyllis.Nice to meet you."
So I figure,heck,why not?I met with Phyllis Stein,a professional job coach.
"Interviewing is vital to getting the job that you want."She showed me how to prepare for an interview by doing research on the position and the company.And latter,she coaching me on my interviewing skills.
"I am going to pretend to be your interviewer,and then we'll stop it and replay it and look at the video and see what we could learn from that.OK?""I don't think that you should go into an interview having not practised with some of the questions that are pretty standard."
"Tell me about yourself."
"Well,my parents—my mom is a social worker,and my dad is an engineer."
"Your preparation is really important."
"What do you know about our organization?"
"Well,I saw on,um,on the Internet that ,you do business publishing?Right?"
Arriving on time and being confident are the most important parts of a job interview.
It's very important that you are being confident and you're being clear in your answers and listening carefully
Not fidgeting(坐立不安,烦躁)and being confident are the most important things in a job interview.

“拜托,你为什么不看职业顾问(顾问)?我会为你付出的,有助于你找到一份工作!”“萨曼莎,我是菲利斯·斯坦。

他们可能需要你能够成为一个疑难解答。
你用你生活中的一些实例从一个疑难解答”。
“一个谁是在一个贸易展助理是做事情,处理问题,你需要确保你留下,排序,目标与预防,呈现自己最可能的途径。
”
这一次,当我去参加面试的时候,我有了更多的自信。
“我在大学里工作过,我在学校工作过,我也带了一些样品给你看。
”“我在床上和早餐做过很多工作。
我和客人一起工作过。
我预订了电话,得到了他们需要的东西,并且处理了任何抱怨。
”
做一个好的第一印象是面试中最重要的一个部分。
准时到达和自信是求职面试中最重要的部分。
很重要的是你要自信,你要清楚自己的回答,仔细听
不要坐立不安(坐立不安,烦躁)和自信在面试中最重要的东西。
写一封感谢信是你面试后要做的最重要的事情/
在那里用坚定的握手。

"It's not enough to ask what successful people are like...It is only by asking where they are from that we can unravel the logic behind who succeed and who doesn't"
This is the basic idea of an intriguing book called Outliers, by the American journalist Malclom Gladwell.The book explores the factors which contribute to people who are extremely successful in their careers, for example, the role the family , culture and friend play.
Gladwell examines the causes of why the majority of Canada ice hokey players are born in the first few months of the calender year,what the founder of Microsoft Bill Gates did to achieve his extraordinary success,and why the Beatles managed to redefine the whole of popular music in the 1960s.
Gladwell points out that the youth hockey league in Canada recruits from January the first, so that players born early in the year are bigger,stronger and better athletes than others born later in the year.And because they have this advantage at the start of their sports career,they're given extra coaching,and so there's a greater chance that they'll be picked for an elite hockey team in the future.
He calls this phenomenon accumulative advantage(积累优势),a bit like the idea that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.Success depends on the process by which talented athletes are identified as much as it does on their own abilities.
Another aspect which contributes to success is the 10000 hour rule.Great success demands an enormous amount of time for practise and training.For example,the Beatles performed live in Hamburg Germany more than 1200times over four years,much more than the 10000 hours Gladwell claim is necessary for great success.So by the time they returned to England,they had developed their talente and sounded completely different from any other group.
In the same way,Bill Gates had thousands of hours' worth of programming because he had access to a computer at his high school.He also became a teenager just at the right time to take
advantage of the latest developments in computer technology.
Outliers has met with extraordinary sucess,matched only by Gladwell's own career for 25 years in journalism.As a result, many citics have seen it as an autobiography, in which the writer appears to be apologizing for his own personal achievements.But the ides that you have to be born at the right moment,in the right place and in the right family,and then you have to work really hard is a thought-provoking way of revisiting our traditional view of genius and great achievement.It's certainly worth reading,as long as you don't take it too seriously.
“问什么成功的人是不足够的,这是唯一的要求,他们是从我们可以解开背后谁成功,谁不”的逻辑
这是一个有趣的书称为离群点的基本思路,由美国记者马尔科姆·格拉德威尔。
该书探讨的例子,有助于人们在他们的职业生涯非常成功,因素,角色的家庭,文化和朋友玩。
Gladwell探讨为什么加拿大冰球运动员大多数是出生在日历年的前几个月,什么微软的创始人比尔盖茨没有实现他非凡的成功,为什么披头士设法重新定义在上世纪60年代流行音乐的整体。
格拉德威尔指出加拿大新兵从一月一日青年冰球联赛,让玩家出生在年初更大,更强更好的运动员比其他人在今年晚些时候出生的,因为他们在自己的运动生涯的开始有这个优势,为他们提供额外的培训,所以有一个更大的机会他们会被选为曲棍球队在未来的精英。
他称这种现象的累积优势(积累优势),有点像的想法,富人更富,穷人更穷。
成功取决于有天赋的运动员被认定为是对自己的能力尽可能多的过程。
这有助于成功的另一个方面是10000小时的规则。
伟大的成功需要时间,大量的练习和训练。
例如,甲壳虫乐队的现场演出在德国汉堡1200times以上超过四年,超过10000小时格拉德威尔索赔是成功的必要条件。
因此当他们回到英国,他们开发他们的才华和声音从任何其他组完全不同。
在同一种方式中,比尔盖茨有上千个小时的节目,因为他在他高中的电脑上,他也成为了一个十几岁的时候,利用计算机技术的最新发展。
离群了非凡的成功,只能从自己的生涯Gladwell的新闻25年。
因此,许多城市都被看作是一本自传,其中作家似乎对自己的个人成就而道歉。
但你需要应运而生的意见,在正确的的地方,在合适的家庭,然后你必须要努力工作,是一个发人深省的方式重新审视我们传统的天才和伟大的政绩观。
它肯定是值得一读的,只要你不要太认真。
Listening in 2
P:Hi,we are talking about typical working hours in the US and in Brazil.Eric...um...you're from the States,tell me what are the typical working hours in the States?
E:Er...traditionally people go to work at 9o'clock in the morning and they finish at about 5,so sort of a 9to 5.
P:And,and Penny I...I know you're English but you work in Brazil,what are the hours in Brazil? Penny:Um varies slightly,sometimes you can start um on an early shift,say,8o'clock in the morning to 5 um or 9 until 6.But in Brazil often people will work longer hours than this.
P:Right,right ok.And what kind of clothes do you wear?I mean do you dress up formally or in a relaxed way?
E:It used to be that you would wear a jacket and tie to work for...for men but er nowadays an open shirt is ok.You don't necessarily have to wear a tie and sometimes on a Friday you can wear a pair of jeans to work.
P:Oh,right the dress down Friday?
E:The dress down Friday that's right.
P:Does that still happen?
E:Yes, yes sure it does.
P:And how about in Brazil?
Penny:Um, it's fairly casual,quite informal,um I mean you need to look neat and tidy obviously,but you,you have your own choice rely on what you would wear,there are no rules and regulations.It's important to look smart but comfortable.
P:Right,yeah do you have meal breaks or is that...you just fit in meals when you can or...?
E:Lunch,lunch is usually an hour sometimes a little shorter if you have to do a lot of work from your desk.
P:Yeah,how about Brazil?
Penny:That's the same, about an hour.
P:And,and with overtime,I mean,if you...I mean you're obviously contracted to do a certain number of hours.What happens if you do more than the hours that you...that's in you...that are in your contract?
E:I have to make a fairly um strict record of my hours so if I go beyond 5 o'clock on most days I put in for overtime.
P:Right.
E:And it's...the first hour is one of overtime and then there's I think 15minute periods after that.So I could work an hour and a quarter.
P:And you'd be paid for the quarter hours?
E:That's right,by the quarter hour.
P:How about in Brazil?
Penny:It's,it's a lot looser in Brazil actually.We we often end up doing overtime but unfortunately not paid.
P: Fine.That's hard luck.And what about holidays,what about in the States?You don't have much holidays in the States do you?
E:No.When you start at a company you get two weeks holiday or two weeks vacation as we say...
P:Yeah
E:Um then it's usually not until you've been at the company for about five ears that they give you another week.So you get three weeks after you've been there for five years.
P:And what about in Brazil?
Penny:Um it's quite good actually-30days.
P:Sounds very generous.
Penny:Yeah I can pop back to...
P:Is that 30 working days or 30 days in total?
Penny:That's 30 working days
P:Wow,that's
Penny:Yes,yeah it's a good deal.
P:What about retirement?I know it's a long way of there!When do you retire?
E:Generally speaking it's at 65.
P:And the same for women.
E:Um it's I think a little sooner than that for women.Women I think 62or 63.
P;Right ,good.And in Brazil is it similar?
Penny:Similar to the States.It's um after 60 for women.65 for men,or if you've clocked up about 30 or 35 years of service then you can retire after that.
P:Right and when...do you have a pay day?When is pay day?
E:Um,well ,we gt paid twice a month,so we get paid at the beginning of the month and then we get paid in the middle of the month at the 15th give or take(大约).
P:Yeah,and what about in Brazil?
Penny:I think it all depends which company you're working for.For the one I am working for right now I get paid twice a month but when I began,with a different company that was once a month,so,it varies.
P:And are there any company benefits that you have in the States?Do you have a company car or a pension?
E:Yeah,we get a company car.We're able to...we lease a car in effect but it's a company car that we get for 18 months to two years and then we...we can move on to another model from that.There's a fairly good pension scheme,that's still working,and hospitalization as well.
P:Oh,that's important
E:Yeah,a health plan through work is very important.
P:Right.And what about in Brazil?
Penny:Yeah,excellent benefits like that.Well I mean it does depend on the company and the status of your or your job but you might get a car,living accommodation,school for the children,they'll pay for your lunch,travel passes,gasoline,health insurance,all sorts of benefits actually it's very good.
P:Sounds very good,with the holiday and all those benefits it sounds a great place to work.

但在巴西,人们通常会比这更长的工作时间。
对,你穿什么样的衣服?我的意思是你穿着正式或轻松的方式?

警:哦,这是星期五的衣服吗?
这是正确的,星期五的服装。
警:这仍然发生吗?
是的,是肯定的。
在巴西,怎么样?

是的,巴西怎么样?
那是一样的,大约一个小时。
我是说,如果你……我的意思是你很明显地要做一个小时的工作,如果你做的事超过了你……这是你的合同?
我得做一个相当严格的记录,这样我就可以在大多数日子里超过五点的时间去加班了。
警:对。
E:它的第一个小时是一个加班,还有我认为15期后。
所以我可以工作一个小时,一个季度。
警:你得付四分之一小时吗?
这是正确的,按季。
在巴西怎么样?
彭妮:是的,它在巴西宽松很多。
我们经常会加班但不支付。
好的,那是很难的。
假期,在美国呢?你没有太多的假期在美国吗?
E:发现你开始在公司你得到两周的假期或两个星期的假期我们说…
P:是的
恩:嗯,那通常是不到你在公司里五个耳朵,他们再给你一个星期,所以你在那里三个星期后五年。
巴西市的?
彭妮:嗯,很好actually-30days。
警:听起来很慷慨。

病人:30个工作日还是30天?
这是30个工作日
警:哇,那是
是的,是的,这是一个很好的交易。
退休怎么样?我知道这是一个很长的路!你什么时候退休?
一般说来是65。
对女性也一样。
E:嗯,这是我想早一点的妇女相比,女性我认为62or 63。
P;吧,好在巴西它是相似的?
彭妮:类似于美国。
在60 women.65男人是嗯,或者如果你已经打了30年或35年的服务,然后你就可以退休之后。
是的,你有一个付款日吗?什么时候付款?
E:嗯,嗯,我们GT支付一个月两次,所以我们会在月初支付,然后我们得到报酬在本月中旬举行的第十五给予或采取(大约)。
是的,巴西呢?
我想这一切取决于你在哪家公司工作,因为我现在工作的一个月,我一个月要付两次,但是当我开始的时候,有一个不同的公司,每月一次,所以,它变化。
教授:你在美国有什么公司的福利吗?你有一辆车或一个退休金吗?
是的,我们有一辆车,我们可以租一辆车,但是这是我们18个月到两年后的车,我们可以从中移动到另一个模式。
还有一个相当不错的退休金计划,那就是工作和住院。
教授:哦,那很重要
是啊,通过工作的健康计划是非常重要的。
P:在巴西那次吗?
是的,我的意思是,这取决于公司和你的工作的地位,但你可能会得到一辆车,住的住宿,
学校的孩子,他们会为你的午餐,旅行通行证,汽油,健康保险,所有种类的好处,其实是非常好的。
警:听起来很不错,有了这个假期,所有的这些好处听起来是个不错的地方。
