Lesson 47 - Writing Up a Resume

John: What’s keeping you up at this hour?
Michael: I’m writing up a resume and cover letter for a position that my professor recommended me for.
John: I had no idea you were in the market for a job. What kind of job?
Michael: I’ m applying for a Recruiting Coordinator position at the university language center.
John: I was under the impression that you were going to continue your studies.
Michael: I was but I had a change of heart. I want to get some work experience before I apply to graduate school.
John: Not a bad idea. So what are these guys looking for?
Michael: A person who’s reliable and good with people.
John: You’re all those things.
Michael: My professor has a close friend who heads the center and will put in a good word for me.
John: They would be losing out if they didn’t hire you.

[해석] “이력서 작성하기”
John: 이 시간에 뭐 하는 거야?
Michael: 교수님이 추천해 준 자리에 넣으려고 이력서와 자기소개서를 쓰고 있어.
John: 난 네가 취업 시장에서 일자리를 구하고 있을 거라고는 생각지도 못했는데. 어떤 종류의 일이야?
Michael: 대학교 어학센터의 채용 책임자 자리에 지원하려고.
John: 난 네가 공부를 계속할 거라고 생각했어.
Michael: 그랬었지. 하지만 마음을 바꿨어. 대학원에 지원하기 전에 직장 경험을 좀 갖
고 싶어서.
John: 나쁜 생각은 아니야. 그래, 이 사람들은 어떤 사람을 찾고 있는 거야?
Michael: 믿을 만 하고 사람들과 잘 지내는 사람.
John: 네가 바로 그런 사람이지.
Michael: 교수님의 친한 친구분이 센터를 총괄하는 분이라서, 나를 위해 좋은 말씀을 해 주실 거야.
John: 너를 채용하지 않으면 그 사람들은 손해 보는 거야.
