Interviewer: Certainly. How far back would you like me to
go?
Interviewer: Tell me about the two jobs you held before your
current job.
White: All right. Well, from 1991 to 1994 I was an
assistant manager at a food processing plant in New Jersey. I was in
charge of scheduling workers on the assembly line. Then at the end of
1994 I took a position as general manager with Ace Foods. I held that
position until I moved to my current position in 1997.
Interviewer: And what were your responsibilities as general manager?

explanation
Trong phần kế tiếp, chúng ta chú ý
vào phần vụ - JOB HISTORY=mô tả quá trình công việc mình.
Xin ôn
lại mấy câu đã học.
-How far back would you like me
to go?=Bà hay ông muốn tôi kể ngược lại từ đoạn nào trong quá-trình
công-việc của tôi?
-How far back=lùi lại bao xa.
-I was an
assistant manager at a food processing plant=tôi làm phụ tá quản đốc
trong một xưởng chế biến thực phẩm.
Nhận xét chữ SCHEDULE (danh
từ)=thời biểu; và động từ TO SCHEDULE= phân phối công việc theo thời
biểu. Trong câu sau đây “scheduling” là động từ. I was in charge of
scheduling workers on the assembly line= tôi lo việc xếp đặt công việc
cho công nhân trên đường dây chuyền sản xuất. Trong câu sau đây
“schedules” là danh từ.
-As general manager, I made sure production
schedules were met=trong chức vụ quản đốc tổng quát, tôi phải lo sao
cho việc sản xuất được đúng kỳ hạn.
Trong đoạn tới, quí vị nghe
rồi lập lại, trước hết lập lại từng đoạn ngắn. Sau đó lập lại cả câu.

It's time for Gary's tips. What's your topic for today, Gary?

Today I'll be talking about describing your job history. Last week we
talked aout how to talk about your education background in a job
interview. Often you will be asked in a job interview to describe your
job history. An interviewer might ask you to describe the previous jobs
you have held. In your description, you should say what your job title
was, where you worked, when you held the position, and what your job
responsibilities were.
Let's listen to a portion
of the Business Dialog where Ms. White tells about her job at a food
processing plant. Try to answer these two questions: What was Ms.
White's job title? Where did she work? Let's listen.
Interviewer: Tell me about your two jobs you held before your current
job.
White: All right. Well, from 1991 to 1994 I was an assistant
manager at a food processing plant in New Jersey.
Gary: What was Ms. White's job title?
-She was assistant
manager.
Where did she work?
-Ms. White didn't give the name
of the company, but she said she worked at a food processing plant in
New Jersey.
Listen again to part of the dialog, and
answer these two questions:
When did Ms. White
work as assistant manager? What were Ms. White's responsibilities?
Let's listen.
White: Well, from 1991 to 1994 I was an assistant
manager at a food processing plant in New Jersey. I was in charge of
scheduling workers on the assembly line.
Gary:
When was Ms. White assistant manager?
-She was assistant manager
from 1991 to 1994.
And what were Ms. White's responsibilities?
-She was in charge of scheduling workers.
Well,
that's all we have time for today.
I hope today's tips were
helpful!
