喜欢看英剧。《Scott & Bailey》是关于两个女警官的故事。有一集里面说她们两个申请升职。

面试时被问到同一个问题,她们各自的回答,我觉得蛮有参考价值,特记录下:

Is  there anything you'd like to tell us about yourself?

B:   I have had an intense few years. Sometimes I got caught up in other people's mess. Sometimes I did a pretty good job of making my own. But I have well and truly got my head screwed on these days. This is the job that I am meant to do. it fits the way my mind works. I have always had he instinct. I am clocking up the experience. I am a worker. I am not a liability. I am a safe pair of hands.

S:   It might seen odd to be applying for promotion at 50. So I would just like to say a bit about that. I took a long career break when my children were small, so I have actually only clocked up 20 year's service. And in that time, I think I have become one of those steady, competent, quietly indispensable types. I have seen plenty of officers fly over my head and up the ladder and I suspect that most of them have not been as good as me. I have got at least 10 year's service to offer. My children are practically on their way.  I am in the best position. I have ever been in to push forward. I am 50 but I am not trailing off. I am gearing up.
Put all my soul into it, play the way I feel.

我也是在学习,注解不敢,可以说说我的感觉:

Is  there anything you'd like to tell us about yourself?

B:   I have had an intense few years. Sometimes I got caught up in other people's mess. Sometimes I did a pretty good job of making my own. But I have well and truly got my head screwed on these days. This is the job that I am meant to do. it fits the way my mind works. I have always had the instinct. I am clocking up the experience. I am a worker. I am not a liability. I am a safe pair of hands.

警官B,比较年轻。她在回答这个问题时,强调的是她有强烈的工作意愿。比如后面的这一节,用词也是比较简单的:

This is the job that I am meant to do. it fits the way my mind works. I have always had the instinct. I am clocking up the experience. I am a worker. I am not a liability. I am a safe pair of hands. (大意是:这是我渴望去做的工作,它太适合我的心意了,我天生就是做这个的。我正在积累经验。我是有用之人,而不是个累赘。我是靠得住的帮手。)



Put all my soul into it, play the way I feel.

而警官S,已经是半百的职场老人。按说早已升职了。所以她首先解释了为何在这个年纪参与升职竞争。后面就描述她目前心态和实际情况。

S:   It might seen odd to be applying for promotion at 50. So I would just like to say a bit about that. I took a long career break when my children were small, so I have actually only clocked up 20 year's service. And in that time, I think I have become one of those steady, competent, quietly indispensable types.

My children are practically on their way.  I am in the best position. I have ever been in to push forward. I am 50 but I am not trailing off. I am gearing up. (大意是:因照顾幼年的孩子们,我中断了很长一段时间的职业生涯。虽然只有20年的年限,但我已经成为成熟能干,不可或缺的一份子。有些同事并不比我优秀,却能青云直上。所以我也想升职。我至少还能工作10年,我的孩子们也已经走上正轨。我现在的状态好极了。我一直都在向前进,尽管我年及五十,但我一点都不会拖后腿,我冲劲十足。)
