相关的工作经验可以为你在面试时赢得不少加分。有人可能会问，大学生刚毕业哪来的经验？注意了，假期短期工作和实习都是很好的经验来源，只要你够勤快，工作经验并不难找。闲话少说，我们来看看 Sam 和 Ann在面试时是怎样处理工作经验这部分的。    Dialogue 1
    Snow: Have you got any experience in advertising? Sam: Yes, I have been working in the Public Relations Section of a company for the past two years. I plan the advertising campaigns and cooperate with artists and a typographer. Sometimes I have to do the work of a specialist when there's something urgent. Snow: Have you had any experience with computers? Sam: Yes, I studied in a computer-training program, and can process data through the computer. Snow: That's fine. What about operating the fax and duplicators? Sam: I can handle them without any trouble. Snow: How often do you work overtime? Sam: I worked overtime several times a month.
    Notes:
    1. 对话中Sam在一家广告公司进行面试，Have you got any experience in advertising? 你有没有广告方面的从业经验？experience in / with something，某个方面的经验。
    2. 这时候你就可以把自己的工作经验告诉考官，当然不要面面俱到，一定要挑跟你面试的工作紧密相关的方面来说，其它的可以不说或者一句话带过。这就要求你在面试之前想好怎样来条理清晰地陈述你的工作经验，甚至还可以先打个草稿，为的就是做到心中有数。
    3. 这里你可以顺便提一下你的一些工作技能，比如，电脑操作等等。process data through the computer，用电脑处理各种数据。operating the fax and duplicators，操作传真机和打印机。handle这个词也很常用，指“处理，操作”。例如：I think I can handle it. 这件事我可以做好。
    4. work overtime，加班，overtime这里做副词，表示“超时地”，overtime也可以做名词be on overtime，也表示“加班”。
    Dialogue 2
    Watt: Do you have any sales experience? Ann: Yes, I worked in a fashion shop as a part-time salesgirl. Watt: What kind of work are you doing now? Ann: I'm working as an export sales staff member for a foreign trading company. Watt: Where are you working? Ann: I work at Lianfu Foreign Trade Company，Ltd. Watt: How long have you been working there？
    Ann: I have been working there since I left my previous employer in 1996. Watt: How many employers have you worked for? Ann: Three. Watt: What work were you responsible for at your previous work unit？
    Ann: I was responsible for advertising design.
    Notes:
    1. Do you have any sales experience? 你有销售经验吗？这也是询问工作经验的一个常用句式。work as 是"做什么样的工作"，例如：I worked as a tutor after school. 放学后我就去做家教。
    2. What kind of work are you doing now? 你现在在做什么工作？Ann回答说在一家外贸公司做销售人员。考官又问是什么公司，Where are you working? 这可不是问公司的地址，而是问公司的名称。
    3. How long have you been working there？你在那工作多久了？这里用的是现在完成进行时态，表示从过去到现在一直做某事，从来没有间断过。How many employers have you worked for? 你为几个雇主工作过？其实也就是问你换过几个工作了。
    4. What work were you responsible for at your previous work unit？你在以前工作的部门具体负责什么工作？be responsible for something，负责某事，也就是做某项工作。previous work unit，以前的工作部门。
    5. 一般这样的问题据实回答就可以了，除非考官对你某方面的工作经验感兴趣，否则不要自己说起来没完，要学会见机行事。
