So let's start at the very beginning.

Let's say you don't have a job.

我們先假設你沒有工作。

There are three ways

有三種方式

that I can think of to describe not having a job.

我能想到的，來描述沒有工作的情況。

The general term in English is to say

英文最常見的說法是

若你沒有工作，我們就會說你目前失業。

You are looking for work.

你正在找工作。

You also could describe it as being laid off.

你也可以說被解僱了。

In English, when someone is laid off,

在英文裡，當某個人被解僱，

it means that they had a job, but they were let go, okay?

意思是他們原本有工作，但他們被資遣了。

So it means in the past they were working,

所以在過去他們正在工作，

and their job laid them off,

但他們的公司資遣他們，

and now they are laid off.

所以他們被解僱了。

So they're not working because they have lost their job,

所以他們沒有在工作，因為他們失去了他們的工作，

and the third reason you might not be working is

那第三個你可能沒有在工作的原因是

because you just finished school,

因為你剛畢業，

and that's how you would describe it.

這個情況的描述方式是這樣的。

You would say I'm looking for a job

你會說我正在找工作

because I just finished school,

因為我才剛畢業，

and the two ways that you would describe

有兩種方法可以描述

that you are looking for a job are to say

你正在找工作

I'm looking for a job or I'm looking for work.

我正在找工作。

Those are both very common ways to describe

這兩種都是很常見的敘述方式

that you want a job and that you are looking for a job.

如果你想要找工作，並正在找工作的話。

I'm looking for a job, or I'm looking for work.

我正在找工作。

So where do you look if you are looking for a job?

所以如果你要找工作的話，要去哪裡找呢？

Well, you can look in the newspaper.

你可以在報紙上找。

There is a section of the newspaper

在報紙裡有一個區域

where job postings are listed,

列有很多工作機會，

small advertisements saying

常常有些小廣告

that different companies or businesses are hiring.

表示不同的公司和企業正在徵才。

You could look online, as well.

你也可以上網看。

Certain websites specialize in posting different positions

有一些網站專門刊登不同的職位

at different jobs.

So notice you will be looking for an ad for a job

When a business has a sign that says we're hiring,

當一個公司有一個正在徵人的牌子，

it means you can just walk in and ask

這代表你可以走進去並詢問

it will say we're hiring,

會寫著公司正在徵才。

and then there's usually a phone number that you can call.

然後通常會有你可以打的電話號碼。

So what do you do if you find a place that is hiring?

所以當你找到一個有職缺的地方，接下來要做什麼？

Well, you need to apply for the job.

你需要應徵這份工作。

In English, when you know that a business

在英文裡，當你知道一個企業

or company is hiring, we say that you apply for the job,

或公司正在徵才，我們說你要應徵這份工作，

but how do you apply?

那要怎麼應徵呢？

Usually, what you would do is you would drop off a resume.

通常，你會需要寄送你的履歷。

In your language, you might call it a CV.

在你的語言裡，履歷可能被稱作 CV。

I think the correct word is curriculum vitae,

我想原本的講法應該是履歷書，

but I might have it wrong.

但我可能是錯的。

I'll put the real words there,

我會把真正的單字放在這裡，

but in English, we call it a resume.

但在英文裡，我們稱之為履歷。

A resume is a description of your education,

履歷就是很多你的資訊的描述，像你的教育程度，

your previous work experience,

你之前的工作經驗，

and maybe something about yourself, as well.

或你也可以包涵一些關於你自己的故事。

A cover letter simply describes

求職信基本上要包含

why you are interested in working for that company.

你為什麼想要替這家公司工作。

So you would drop off a resume and a cover letter,

所以你會寄送你的履歷和求職信，

and then you would wait to hear back.

然後你要等回音。

This is an English phrase that we only really use

有一個英文的片語我們只會在

in relation to work sometimes.

與工作相關的議題上使用。

When you drop off a resume, you want them to phone you.

當你寄送履歷時，你希望他們最後打電話給你。

You want them to call you.

你希望他們打給你。

So we say that you're waiting to hear back.

所以我們會說你在等待回音。

Hopefully, they do call you, and if they do,

希望他們會打給你，若他們打了，

they might be interested in having you come in

那他們可能會希望你去公司

for an interview.

來場面試。

If they want to have an interview with you,

若他們想要你參加面試，

they will set up a time and a date, and you will go in,

他們會排定一個日期，你就必須去他們公司，

and you will have a job interview.

然後你會進行一場工作面試。

By the way, if you are wondering

另外，如果你很好奇

what kinds of questions they might ask,

他們可能會問什麼問題的話，

I do have a video about job interview questions.

我有做一支影片是關於工作面試問題的。

I'll put a link up there,

我會把連結放在上面，

and you can watch that maybe after this video,

你或許能在看完這支影片後再去看看，

but if a company or business is interested in you

若有公司和企業對你有興趣

after they have read your cover letter and resume,

在他們讀了你的求職信和履歷後，

they might give you a call,

他們可能會打電話給你，

and they might say would you like to come in

可能會問你想不想進公司

for an interview?

來場面試？

This is a good sign.

這是個好徵兆。

You'll want to do really well in the interview,

你還是得要在面試中有出色表現，

but the fact that they read your cover letter and resume

但他們在讀了你的求職信和履歷後

and they're interested in talking to you is a good sign.

願意和你更進一步對談，這是個好徵兆。

It doesn't mean that you got the job,

這不表示你得到工作了，

but it means that you've made it to the next step.

但這表示你成功到達下個步驟。

After the interview, you will also wait to hear back.

面試後，你也必須等待回音。

So again, the phrase to hear back means

所以這個片語意思就是

that you are hoping that they will give you a phone call,

你希望他們可以打電話給你，

or you are hoping that they will email you

或是你希望他們會計電子郵件給你

because what you want to hear them say is

因為你希望聽到的消息是

that you got the job.

你得到工作了。

If they call you back or if they send you an email,

若他們打電話給你或寄電子郵件

they will either tell you if you got the job

他們可能是要告訴你你得到工作了

or if you didn't get the job.

或是你沒有得到。

The phrase in English I got the job is

我得到工作了這個英文片語

something very, very exciting to be able to say.

是一件很值得開心的事情。

If you go through the process of applying for a job

若你經歷了應徵工作的過程

and then they call you and you get the job,

然後他們打電話通知你得到工作了，

you will probably want to tell all of your family

你可能會想要告訴你的家人

and friends I got the job.

和朋友你得到工作的消息。

Once you tell your family and friends you got the job,

當你告訴家人朋友你得到工作時，

you will also be able to describe yourself

你可以這樣形容你自己

as having been hired.

我已經被錄取了。

You could say that this company hired me

你可以說這間公司錄取我

or I have been hired by this company.

或者我已經被這家公司錄取。

So the English word hire is the process

所以英文裡說的錄取是指一個過程

whereby a company takes you on as an employee

一間公司決定錄取你，把你當成職員

and starts to pay you.

並開始支付你薪水。

It's really, really exciting to get a job

得到一份工作是非常非常令人開心的事情

and to be hired by a company.

若你成功被公司錄取時。

When you start at that company,

當你開始在公司工作

they might want you to sign a contract.

他們可能會要你簽合約。

Not all jobs have contracts, but depending on the job,

不是每份工作都有合約，這取決於工作性質，

you might need to sign a contract,

你可能需要簽合約，

and then you are awesomely employed,

接著你就成功被雇用了，

and you are an employee.

你就是一名職員。

When the business calls you back and tells you

當一家企業打電話給你，告訴你

you got the job, they will also tell you
