【www.jmzhongda.cn--工作心得体会】
>在面试中，有一件事切记，当面试官问你为什么要换工作时，要给他们一个简短、商业化的答复。
千万不要说谎，因为这是不可原谅的。
但你也不要把面试搞得像是一场心理疗程。如果你需要发泄，找你的亲人、朋友去说吧。
面试不适合说这些。
面试时谈论先前的工作，基本原则是：不要批评、抱怨以前的工作环境或同事，这样做是很不专业的。
当然，你可以这么回答
1. I left the company owing to liquidation of the business.
我离开那家公司是由于公司歇业了。
2. I have to leave my present post only because the mill is going into bankruptcy.
我不得不离开现职只是因为那家工厂已陷入破产。
3. The company has recently been sold to Amway and I’m told my services as a sales manager are no longer needed, so I have to look for a new position.
那家公司最近刚被安利公司收购，而我被告知我作为销售经理的工作不再需要了，所以我不得不再找一份新工作。
4. The reason for my decision to make a career change is that: although I have had quite a successful career up to now, some recent top management changes at the company have caused me to rethink my objectives.
我决定换工作的原因是:虽然到目前为止我在事业上一直很成功，但最近公司高层管理方面一些人事变动使我不得不重新考虑我的奋斗目标。
5. I left the office on account of the discontinuance of the business.
由于所工作的公司解散，我只好离职。
6. I would like to get a more specialized job.
我想获得一份更加专业化的工作。
7. It's the location of your company that has attracted me the most. You know I used to send an hour on the way to my previous job. But now it takes me only ten minutes to get here by bike. Surely I will take a job closer to my house.
对我最有吸引力的正是贵公司的地点。你知道我过去上班时，通常要在路上花一个小时。而我现在只需骑10分钟的车就到这儿。肯定我愿意找个离家近的 工作。
8. I am leaving our office to care for my elderly mother in a distant city.
我为照顾住在外远地的年老母亲，而申请辞职。
9. I didn't like the job there. Although the salary was high, it was unstable.
我不喜欢那里的工作。尽管薪酬高，但不稳定。
10.I like the work that is challenging, and I think I am ready for more challenging work at this time.
我喜欢具有挑战性的工作，我认为现在我已为迎接更有挑战性的工作做好了准备。

strike out在棒球中表示三振出局，也就意味着失败了
locker talk：general sports-talk among the players, idiom-gossip, rumors

game plan：American football-plan which plays to make, idiom-plan of action

Pete: If our numbers are right, we should be able to call the shots from here.
鲍勃：他们从Smith's and Co.拿数字的时候太拖拉了，把自己逼到山穷水尽的地步。要是咱们能在下次开会的时候干的漂亮点，我觉得我们应该可以继续往前走了。
皮特：如果我们的数字是对的，我们应该就能在这里一举拿下了。
no-win situation：baseball-impossible to win, idiom-impossible to succeed

接电话如何让对方慢点儿说话?
One of the biggest problems is speed. Native speakers, especially business people, tend to speak very quickly on the telephone. Here are some practical tips to get native speakers of English to slow down!
主要的一个问题是语速。说母语的人，尤其是商务人士，打电话的时候说话语速都很快。下面是一些实用的小贴士可以让母语是英语的人放慢说话的速度。
* Immediately ask the person to speak slowly.
* 直接请这个人慢点说。
* When taking note of a name or important information, repeat each piece of information as the person speaks.
* 记录一个名字或者重要信息的时候，打电话的人说一句你就重复一句。
This is an especially effective tool. By repeating each important piece of information or each number or letter as the spell or give you a telephone number you automatically slow the speaker down.
这是一个很有效的策略。通过重复每一个重要的信息、每一个数字、每一个字母的时候都会让说话人的语速自动放慢。
* Do not say you have understood if you have not. Ask the person to repeat until you have understood.
* 如果没听懂就别说你懂了。让这个人重复一下直到你懂了。
Remember that the other person needs to make himself/herself understood and it is in his/her interest to make sure that you have understood. If you ask a person to explain more than twice they will usually slow down.
记住别人需要自己的话被听懂。确保你能听懂关系到他或她的利益。如果你请一个人解释两次以上，通常这个人会放慢语速。
* If the person does not slow down begin speaking your own language!
* 如果这个人还不放慢语速你就开始说你的母语。(这招狠!)
A sentence or two of another language spoken quickly will remind the person that they are fortunate because THEY do not need to speak a different language to communicate. Used carefully, this exercise in humbling the other speaker can be very effective. Just be sure to use it with colleagues and not with a boss :-)!
快速的说一两个句子会提醒打电话的人他们是很幸运的因为他们不用使用不同的语言来交流。不过用这招要小心点，这种方法羞辱别人很有效，所以要确定你这么做的对象是你同事而不是你老板!

上班时间打私人电话好不好
You might want to think twice before making another personal call during work hours.
上班时间打私人电话可得“三思而后行”了。
Companies can now buy a service that automatically analyses phone calls made by office staff, figures out which are for business and which are personal, and delivers a monthly list of repeat offenders directly to top management.
公司现在可以买到一种能够自动分析办公室职员们所打的电话的服务，这种服务可以分辨出哪些是公务电话，哪些是私人电话，而且每月能向管理层提供“屡犯者”的清单。
"If you're making a 30-second call every morning at about 9 a.m. and the number doesn't match those used by your colleagues then we can guess fairly accurately that's your spouse," said Robert Picton, product manager at South African IT firm Dimension Data.
南非IT公司Dimension Data的产品经理罗伯特·比克顿说：“如果你每天早上9点钟左右打一个30秒的电话，而且你所拨打的号码不是同事们的常用号码，那么基本可以确定，这个电话是打给情人的。”
Picton says that although other IT companies offer call analysis technology, Didata is the first to translate that information for managers.
比克顿说，尽管也有一些其它的IT公司提供这种电话分析技术，但Didata则是*能将数据信息转化为能直接上报给经理的名单的公司。
Didata says a company can cut its phone costs by 10-15 percent by using the 'Guardian' monthly service, not to mention hours of manpower saved through increased productivity.
Didata说，采用这种“电话监视”月服务可以使公司的电话费减少10%至15%，更不用说工作效率的提高所节省的人力时间了。
Employees might bristle at the thought of managers monitoring calls. But Didata says the system focuses only on those who run up huge bills or spend hours of work time on personal calls, and says no one listens in to the calls themselves.
雇员可能会对管理层实施电话监控的想法产生不满。但Didata公司称，这个系统仅针对那些电话费狂高及经常在上班时间打私人电话的员工，并称电话的内容不会受到监听。
"Obviously it is acceptable to make a few calls home," said Picton. "And this is about the minority who are spending 12 hours a month on the phone for non-business purposes and running up bills of $114.7.
比克顿说：“很显然，打一些私人电话是可以被接受的。这一措施主要针对的是那些一个月能打12个小时的私人电话，电话费高达114.7美元的少数人。
时间管理的5个高效方法
Time management is essential in our high-speed, always-on culture, yet most advice you'll find on this topic is pretty vague. "Setting goals" and "making time work for you" are, um, great, but so are practical efficiencies. Because oDesk is home to thousands of self-starting contract workers, we've seen many efficiency tricks.
时间管理在如今这个高效地，不断发展地文化氛围中是非常重要的。但是迄今为止关于时间管理的建议仍是很模糊的。“设定目标”以及“让时间为你工作”确实都很重要，但是实际效率也是非常重要的。很多成功自主创业人士为我们提供了不少行之有效的方法。
The headline promises five steps for time management, but they all come from a single principle: You can only do one thing at a time, so do it right.
虽然标题说的是时间管理的五个步骤，但总的说来只有一个规则，那就是：一次只做一件事情并且做好它。
Finish what you've started. This is the core idea: Where possible, working a single task to completion is more efficient. When you sit down to work, you spend a few minutes just getting "settled in" before you're productive. If you jump from task to half-finished task all the time, that's a lot of minutes lost to "rolling up your sleeves."
完成你开始了的事情。这一点至关重要：尽可能的完成一件任务更有效率。实际上，当你坐下来开始工作时，你需要几分钟来进入工作状态。如果你总是工作到一半又去做另外一件事情，那你会浪费很多作无用功的时间。
Think **all. You can't always spend several hours working straight through on a single big job. Don't think in those terms. Use a simple to-do list, and take each item to completion without interruption, unless something's literally on fire. An example for the job-seeker: It's not "I'll look for jobs this afternoon," it's checking email for replies to previous applications, scanning preferred job sites, writing cover letters, and tweaking your resume for each solid lead, etc.
从小处着想。不要总是认为应该花几个小时去解决一个大而艰巨的任务中。列一份工作清单，然后按照清单来一项项的完成工作。除非有十万火急的事情，否则执行时就不要间断。就拿求职者来说，不是说你今天下午要找很多份工作，而是应该检查以前投递的简历是否有了回复，浏览一些适合的工作网站，写几分求职信，并认真修改你的简历，使之切实可行。
Quit stalling. Once you're organizing by simple components, it's easier to dive right into the **all tasks. It takes a lot of warm up and deep breaths before you jump off a high-dive and we're less hesitant about walking down a flight of steps.
拒绝拖延。一旦将你的工作分割成几个小的部分，就更加容易完成任务。总所周知，在高潜水时需要做大量的热身工作，但进入高潜水之后，我们就不会再介意深入一点了。
Play well with others. When you're working as part of a team, make sure you're prioritizing what you do to get the most important parts into the production line. Nothing's worse than having people stand around waiting for you to produce. In a job search, prioritize anyone who's waiting to hear from you; hiring managers looking for self-starters (and who isn't?) will appreciate and remember your promptness.
与他人良好的合作。如果你在一个团队中的工作是做好一些重要的零件，那么你应该优先做好你的工作，以确保生产线能正常运转。没有比要其他人等着你的工作完成才能进入下个工序更糟糕的事情了。在找工作时，优先回答那些等待你答复的人;聘用经理时寻找那些能主动做事的人(谁不是呢?)，这样大家一定会明白并记住你的高效率。
Analyze your output. How could you have been more efficient? How much of your time goes to trivial, mundane work rather than the challenging stuff you enjoy and that your boss values? Job-seekers, log the time you spend at various job sites, and count how many real leads that effort yields. This way you can reprioritize your efforts for high value results. Why are you still lurking on that job board that dried up two years ago?
分析你的产出。怎么样才可以更有效的工作?你有多少时间是浪费在世俗的琐事上，而不是用来完成你所热爱的挑战或者你上司所赏识的工作上呢?求职者们，记录下你们在不同招工场所所花的时间，并计算下真正达到效果的时间是多少吧。如此一来，你便能重新努力去追求高价值的事情。如果一个就业局两年前就倒闭了，为什么你还在那里徘徊不前呢?
It's a multitasking world, and there's no changing it. But when a dozen things are clamoring for your attention, you can still organize them on your terms.
这是一个多任务化的世界，这点是不会改变的。但是即使有很多事情摆在你面前，我们仍可以按我们的方式有效的处理好它们。
