针对再次求职问题

    问：你的个人简历没有提及过去几年中你的工作经验，这是怎么回事？答：
我花了5 年时间抚养孩子，他叫贾森，现在上幼儿园了。对我来说那是个很难的决
定，但是在那时候，我认为肩负着这么重大的家庭责任，我是不可能百分之百投入
工作的。雇主因此分配的工作比我本该完成的要少，这对他来说是不公平的。我相
信在当时，这是我的正确决定。但是现在，我感觉到已恢复状态了，准备将我和我
的全部时间都投入工作。

    不论缺漏是什么，你必须如实相告。谈论一下你离开工作的决定，不管是待在
家里打理家务或刚从一场致命大病中痊愈过来。告诉面试官你现在准备重新工作的
原因。最重要的是强调你渴望重新开始你的事业。

    Q:Your resume doesn t list any job experience in the past few years. 
Why not? 

    A:I took five years off to raise my son, Jason, who's now in kindergarten. 
It was a difficult decision for me, but at the time, I decided I wouldn 
t be able to commit myself 100 percent to my career with such tremendous 
responsibilities at home. And I didnt think it would be fair to my employer 
to give any less than my complete and total commitment. I believe it was 
the right decision for me at the time, but now I feel refreshed and ready 
to devote myself full time to my career. 

    问：我了解到你曾经有一段时间放弃了工作。要找一份与你兴趣相符的工作，
你遇到了哪些困难？

    答：我过去4 年离开了工作领域，这是个事实，但我已经做了极大的努力以恢
复状态。不管怎样，过去我确实认为留在家里抚养孩子并做些家务是非常重要的，
同时我丈夫为了完成他的法律课程，几乎用光了我们的所有积蓄。现在，这些事情
都过去了，我准备重新开始工作，从事娱乐行业。

    在这里，面试官的好奇心背后的真正问题是，为什么其他人没有把这个应聘者
从求职所中选走。为什么这种应聘者不被大家需要？是他太不切实际或者寻找一些
随意的工作吗？在求职者的过去经历里，有些什么隐晦事情被别人发现了吗？你要
坦白地谈论你的处境以减轻这些忧虑。千万要强调你在闲赋的那段日子里是怎样与
你的行业保持联系的，还有，你渴望重新加入这一行列。

    Q:I see you ve been out of work for a while. What difficulties have 
you had in finding a job that's compatible with your interests?A:It s 
true that I ve been out of my field for the last four years, but I've 
had a number of tempting offers to jump back in. However, I thought it was 
important to stay home with my new baby and also continue a parttime family 
business, which I ran out of our home while my husband was completing law 
school. Now that that's behind us, I'm ready to return to my career in the 
entertainment industry.  

    问：简历里指出，过去两年你在“诚信保险经纪公司”里当过兼职人员，这些
经验对你的银行职业将起到什么样的帮助作用呢？

    答：“诚信”正在通过电脑处理档案，而我受聘的主要任务是检查那些电脑化
的档案是否比人手做的档案要精确。我要记录保险赔偿金，准备银行押金，将收到
的付款分类等。这份工作不仅帮我保持会计技能的现代化，而且还教会我各种计算
机的应用技巧，这些肯定会使我符合甚至超过银行的新工作所要求的效率和能力。

    在这里，面试官也许担心应聘者只是适应任何可得到的工作，而不是特殊领域
里的特殊职位。解释你的经验与所应聘的职位有什么联系，并谈论你所获得的技能
可以被转化到新职位和公司里去。

    Q:Your resume indicates that youve been working for the past two years 
as a part time clerk at Reliable Insurance Brokers. How will this experience 
help you in your banking career? 

    A:Reliable was in the process of computerizing its files, and I was 
hired primarily to check the computerized files for accuracy visàvis 
the manual files. I recorded premium payments, prepared bank deposits, and 
sorted payables. Not only did this work help me keep my accounting skills 
current, I also learned valuable computer skills that will certainly help 
me become even more efficient and productive in my next position in banking.
