Interview 3

Manager: Looking through your C.V., I see that you graduated from Oklahoma State University. Can you tell me what training you have had that would specifically relate to the cable television Industry?
我看過你的簡歷了，你畢業於俄克拉馬州州立大學。你能告訴我你有過哪些有線電視行業的培訓嗎?
Engineer: Well, I’ve attended some conferences in this field. But the most relevant training I’ve had was in computer design. I believe I could integrate that knowledge with my college degree to design a program for your company.
我參加過這個領域的一些討論會。但大部分相關培訓都是電腦設計。我相信我能夠結合電腦設計和所學的知識開發出貴公司需要的新應用軟件。

Manager: I see. Did you have anything specific in mind?
我明白。你有什麼具體的設想？
Engineer: Well, I notice that you currently provide an on-screen TV Guide. At the moment, it just scrolls the names of the programs in a repeated loop. If you have many channels, you have to wait a long time to find the item you are interested in. I believe I could design a program that makes the guide interactive. Customers could go right to the program they want.
我注意到在您目前提供的收視指南。觀衆只級在重複滾動的節目單中選擇。如果有很多頻道，您得等很長時間才能找到感興趣的那一項。我能設計一個程序，使指南具有交互性。觀衆可以直接找到他們想看的節目。

Manager: That’s impressive. How would you make the pay?
這個想法很有意思。你準備如何進行收費呢？
Engineer: Tie it in with the pay-per-view services, and perhaps it could be a money-maker.
把它與會費點播服務捆綁在一起，說不定它會爲我們賺許多錢。
Manager: I see you have several good ideas. Now, I just have a few questions about your C.V. I notice that there is a five-year gap between your last job and now.
看來你有很多好想法。我對你的簡歷有幾個問題。我發現從你的前一份工作到現在，有五年是空白。

Engineer: Yes, I took a break from work during that time. I had a baby, and as she was born with a handicap, I decided to suspend my career. But I have continued to keep up with the Industry through conferences and professional journals.
是的。我休息了一段時間。我那時有了孩子，孩子有些殘疾，我決定離職。但我一直通過討論會和行業雜誌來關注這個行業的發展。
Manager: So, you’re just starting back. Maybe you’d better tell me a little more about your experience.
那你現在是準備重返這個行業了。你還需要再多告訴我一些你的經驗。
