1. apply

這里我們詳細(xì)串聯(lián)一下在聽力考試中涉及到的與求職相關(guān)的短語。

apply for(申請)，這是工作的第一步;既然要申請，必然需要遞交 letter of application (求職信)，只要你足夠 confident about yourself，就有可能獲得job interview (工作面試)的機會。是否能夠 give a good impression(留個好印象)給主管，那就得看你個人造化了。

有些工作崗位會require much traveling，(要求經(jīng)常出差)還有些工作，做不了多久就會希望find a way out(找到出路)。

正所謂城里城外，各有風(fēng)光。沒工作的人想工作，有工作的人又煩工作。
