 42. Looking for a Job 寻找工作

            A: Yesterday I started job hunting.
            B: Oh, Did you have any luck?
            A: I haven't found a job yet.
            B: What kind of work are you looking for?
            A: I thought maybe I could get into someone's training program. The
            books all say that industry needs college people with a general
            education, but none of the personnel officers who interviewed me
            seemed to have read those books. They all wanted people who could do
            specific things. I suppose the books are right, but maybe there are
            more people with liberal educations looking for jobs, and there
            probably aren't as many of those jobs available anyway.

            Notes
            Job hunting 寻找工作
            Personnel officers 人事官员
            Liberal education (大学)文科教育

            A：昨天我开始寻找工作。
            B：哦，你碰到好运气了吗？
            A：我还没有找到一份工作。
            B：你想找什么样的工作？
            A：我想也许我可以参加某一个单位的实习计划。书上总是说，业务部门需要受过普通教育的大学生，但是看来没有一位对我进行过面试的人事官员读过这些书。他们都想要能够从事具体工作的人。我想书上说的是对的。但是寻找工作的学文科的学生可能太多了。毕竟现在又没有那么多的这类工作可以提供。
