aCould you do me a favor and proofread my resume before I send it out to the human recources department?
我把简历寄给人力资源部之前,你能帮忙校对一下吗?
bSure, let me take a look... Personal Information, Education, Experience, Training... I think you should add another section for language. You speak three languages, so you might as well put that on your resume.
aBut languages don't have anything to do with engineering. Shouldn't everything I put on my resume have something to do with my field?
可是语言与工程技术没什么关系。我写进简历的东西不一定都与我的研究领域相关吧?
bNot necessarily. I think people would be impressed by your language abilities. It says something about your level of intellect and experience. Also, I think human resources directors want to see more of a well-rounded person in a resume.
aIt's just a piece of paper, you think that they can tell if I am a well-rounded person by looking at it?
这只不过是一张纸,你认为他们看一下就能知道我是个全面发展的人才吗?
bWell, you're right, the resume is limited in how much it can tell someone about a person. That's why job interviews are important to let people know the real you that they can't see from a piece of paper. But resumes can be helpful in explaining things and giving a good impression to a potential employer.
