Part Four: Monologue

“Nowadays the job market is more competitive than ever. Many people are searching for jobs and every one of them is hoping for the best job possible. Therefore, to some people the process of applying for a job can be nerve-wracking and incredibly difficult. In order to stand apart from the other applicants during the process, one must make oneself noticeable. Employers see great value in the skills that a potential employee might bring – and the more skills, the more valuable the applicant. It is also helpful to dazzle them with one’s dedication and desire for self-improvement. In this competitive world, every little bit counts.”
現(xiàn)在的人才市場(chǎng)比以往競(jìng)爭(zhēng)更加激烈。很多人都在找工作，每個(gè)人也都渴望找到盡可能好的工作。因此，對(duì)于一些人來(lái)說(shuō)，找工作的過(guò)程既令人頭疼也有著無(wú)法想象的難度。在應(yīng)聘過(guò)程中，為了與其他的應(yīng)聘者區(qū)別開來(lái)，就必須做到引人注目。雇主會(huì)從未來(lái)的雇員身上所具備的技能來(lái)挖掘價(jià)值——應(yīng)聘者具備的技能越多便越有價(jià)值。如果你能憑借奉獻(xiàn)精神同時(shí)具有自我提高的渴望引起雇主贊嘆的話，則更有助于你的應(yīng)聘。在這個(gè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)激烈的世界，小異都會(huì)帶來(lái)大不同。
