    NARRATOR:Listen to a conversation between a student and an administrator in the university employment office.

    MALE STUDENT:Hi, I hope you can help me. I just transferred from Northeastern State University, near Chicago …

    FEMALE ADMINISTRATOR:Well, welcome to Central University.But Chicago’s such a great city, why did you leave?

    MALE STUDENT:Everyone asks that…it’s my hometown, and it was sure convenient to go to a school near by.But Northeastern is still fairly small, and it doesn’t have the program I’m interested in… I want to major in international studies and the only program in the state is here.

    FEMALE ADMINISTRATOR:We do have a great program. How did you get interested in international studies?

    MALE STUDENT:My family hosted a few foreign-exchange students while I was growing up… then I took part in an international summer program after I graduated from high school.I found I really like meeting people from all over, getting to know them…

    FEMALE ADMINISTRATOR:Oh, OK. And that led you to our program. Right now, though, I assume you’re looking for a job.

    MALE STUDENT:Yeah, a part-time job on campus… I thought I’d save money, being away from the big city… but it doesn’t seem to be working that way.Anyway, I’m not having much luck.

    FEMALE ADMINISTRATOR:I’m not surprised. Most of our campus jobs are taken in the first week or two of the semester.What work experience have you had?

    MALE STUDENT:Well, I worked in the university library last year.But I already checked at the library here… they said their remaining positions were for work-study students getting financial aid.I’ve never run into that before.

    Well, I guess each school has its own policies.We really don’t have much right now.You might be better off waiting until next semester … if you really want something …How are your computer skills?

    About average, I’d say.I helped teach some of the basic computer classes Northeastern offers for new users, if that helps any.

    OK…Uh, the technology support department needs people to work at its helpdesk.It’s basically a customer-service job… answering questions, helping people solve their computer problems… give you a chance to develop your people skills.

    Something every diplomat needs.But, is there some problem? I mean, why’s the job still open?

    Well, they have extended hours … from 6 A.M. to 2 A.M. every day, so they need a large staff.But right now they only need people early mornings, late nights, and weekends.You’d probably end up with a bit of everything rather than a regular spot.On the bright side, you’d probably be able to get some studying done between calls.At least it’d be a start and then you can try for better hours next semester.

    Hmm, I see where the hours might be a problem.But…I guess I can’t afford to be too picky if I want a job.Still, maybe we can work something out.

  • 旁白:听一段学校雇员室中学生和管理人员间的对话。

    学生:你好,我希望你能帮帮我!我刚刚才从芝加哥附近的东北大学转学过来。

    行政人员:欢迎来到中央大学。不过芝加哥是个特别棒的城市,你为什么要离开呢?

    学生:每个人都这么问。那儿是我的家乡,而且当然,在附近上学会很方便。但是,东北部还是太小了。而且,那个学校还没有我感兴趣的专业,我想把专业定在国际关系研究上,州里面开设有这个项目的大学就在这儿。

    行政人员:我们这儿这项目的确不错。嗯,你是怎么对国际关系感兴趣的呢?

    学生:在我还小时,我家里面接收了一些国际交换生,之后高中毕业,我参加了一个国际暑期项目。我觉得,我特别喜欢和来自各个地方的人交流,了解他们。

    行政人员:哦!原来是这样的!这些经历使得你慢慢对我们的项目感兴趣了。刚才,我看到你的时候,觉得你是想找一份工作。

    学生:是的,一个学校里面的兼职,我想在大城市之外,有必要要存些钱,不过,现在看来事情不像想的那么简单。不过不管怎样,我的运气似乎不是特别好

    行政人员:这种情况听上去并不令我惊讶。学校里面的兼职大部分在开学的头两周就被抢光了。你过去都干过些啥?

    学生:嗯,我去年在大学的图书馆里面上班。但是,我刚才去图书馆里面看了,他们说剩余的岗位是留给那些接受财务资助、加入“边工作—边学习”项目的学生的。我之前还没有碰到过这样的事情。

    嗯,我想,每个学校政策都有些不同吧!我们现在剩余的职位确实不多。如果你真的想找点事情的话,等到下学期可能会好点儿!你的电脑技术如何?

    我只能说稍稍好点吧!我帮忙教过一些东北大学给新用户开的电脑基础课,这段经历有用么?

    好的!技术支持部门想招一个负责为顾客提供答疑服务的人,基本上这是一个客服工作;回答顾客的问题,帮助他们解决电脑故障,它也能帮你提高你的交际能力。

    这活儿是每个想要练交际力的人都想要的。但问题是,现在还有空缺的职位吗?

    嗯,他们工作时间长,从早上六点到凌晨两点,所以他们要招一大帮人。但是到现在,他们只招缺凌晨、深夜和周末上班的人了。这个活儿的坏处是,可能你每一样事情都会收到影响,不能有规律地生活。不过好处是你可以在接电话的空子里写作业。至少假如你现在接手了这份活儿,下学期你就可以试着挑一个更好的时段。

    嗯,我明白时间安排确实是个问题。但,我想,我要是诚心想找工作的话,我可不能太挑剔。我仍然可以想办法解决这个工作可能的不便。
