So, without further ado, let's dive(跳水) in. Hello, Molly. Good morning.
Last night you called me and you seemed worried. Is everything okay? Yeah, nothing serious. Thanks for coming, Bella. Could you please tell me the reason for asking me to come here? Are you not forgetting something?
I told you about that before. No, I can't recall(回想) anything. I am sorry, my friend. Well, hey, I have a job interview. I was feeling a bit nervous, so I called you to talk. Oh, you have a job interview?
That's exciting. It's okay to be nervous. It's completely normal. But you know what? You're going to do great. Just remember to take deep breaths(气息) and stay calm(静的).
You have all the skills and knowledge required(需要) for the job and you're confident(确信的) in your abilities. Thanks, Bella. Your words mean a lot to me. I'll try to stay positive, but I'm still feeling a bit scared. I have known you since childhood(童年) and I'm pretty sure you will rock(摇动) it. How is your preparation(准备) for the interview?
Well, I have researched the company and the position thoroughly(十分地), practiced answering potential(潜在的) interview questions and also reviewed my resume(摘要) and cover letter to ensure(保证) that they reflect my skills and experiences accurately. That's great to hear, Molly. Seems like you're well prepared for the interview. Have you scheduled(安排) the interview yet? Yes, I have. The interview is scheduled for the next month and I am feeling both excited and nervous at the same time.
That's perfectly(理想地) normal, Molly. Just remember to stay confident and be yourself during the interview. I am sure you'll do great. Let me know how it goes. Thanks, Bella. You know that it was my dream to work(使工作) for a USA company.
Well, I am thrilled to tell you that I have been offered a job at a reputable company in the USA. That's fantastic news, Molly. Congratulations in advance(进展). I completely understand, Molly. Moving to a new country and starting a new job can be overwhelming(压倒性的), but I'm sure you'll do great. Do you need any assistance(帮助) with your relocation or any other help?
Actually, yes. I could use some advice on how to make this transition(转变) as smooth( 光滑的) as possible. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Absolutely(完全地). First, make sure to do your research on the city you'll be moving to. Learn about the culture, climate and any potential challenges(挑战) you may face(向).
Also, try to connect with other expats or locals([计] 局部) in the area to help you settle(安排) in. Those are great suggestions, Bella. Thank you so much for your help and support. I really appreciate(欣赏) it. It's my pleasure(愉快) helping you, Molly. Could you share some common interview mistakes that lead to candidate(候选人) rejection(拒绝), along with tips on how to avoid them?
Nondressing professionally. When attending an interview, it's important to dress professionally even if you are at home. You should wear a light-coloured dress that is simple, has a little check and should not have too much print(印刷) on it. I've never thought about it that way before. On the other hand, if someone is going for a physical interview, then our dress-up should be very professional.
