相关的工作经验可以为你在面试时赢得不少加分。有人可能会问，大学生刚毕业哪来的经验？注意了，假期短期工作和实习都是很好的经验来源，只要你够勤快，工作经验并不难找。闲话少说，我们来看看 sam 和 ann在面试时是怎样处理工作经验这部分的。
dialogue 1
snow: have you got any experience in advertising?
sam: yes, i have been working in the public relations section of a company for the past two years. i plan the advertising campaigns and cooperate with artists and a typographer. sometimes i have to do the work of a specialist when there's something urgent.
snow: have you had any experience with computers?
sam: yes, i studied in a computer-training program, and can process data through the computer.
snow: that's fine. what about operating the fax and duplicators?
sam: i can handle them without any trouble.
snow: how often do you work overtime?
sam: i worked overtime several times a month.
notes:
1. 对话中sam在一家广告公司进行面试，have you got any experience in advertising? 你有没有广告方面的从业经验？experience in / with something，某个方面的经验。
2. 这时候你就可以把自己的工作经验告诉考官，当然不要面面俱到，一定要挑跟你面试的工作紧密相关的方面来说，其它的可以不说或者一句话带过。这就要求你在面试之前想好怎样来条理清晰地陈述你的工作经验，甚至还可以先打个草稿，为的就是做到心中有数。
3. 这里你可以顺便提一下你的一些工作技能，比如，电脑操作等等。process data through the computer，用电脑处理各种数据。operating the fax and duplicators，操作传真机和打印机。handle这个词也很常用，指“处理，操作”。例如：i think i can handle it. 这件事我可以做好。
4. work overtime，加班，overtime这里做副词，表示“超时地”，overtime也可以做名词be on overtime，也表示“加班”。
dialogue 2
watt: do you have any sales experience?
ann: yes, i worked in a fashion shop as a part-time salesgirl.
watt: what kind of work are you doing now?
ann: i'm working as an export sales staff member for a foreign trading company.
watt: where are you working?
ann: i work at lianfu foreign trade company，ltd.
watt: how long have you been working there？
ann: i have been working there since i left my previous employer in 1996.
watt: how many employers have you worked for?
ann: three.
watt: what work were you responsible for at your previous work unit？
ann: i was responsible for advertising design.
notes:
1. do you have any sales experience? 你有销售经验吗？这也是询问工作经验的一个常用句式。work as 是"做什么样的工作"，例如：i worked as a tutor after school. 放学后我就去做家教。
2. what kind of work are you doing now? 你现在在做什么工作？ann回答说在一家外贸公司做销售人员。考官又问是什么公司，where are you working? 这可不是问公司的地址，而是问公司的名称。
3. how long have you been working there？你在那工作多久了？这里用的是现在完成进行时态，表示从过去到现在一直做某事，从来没有间断过。how many employers have you worked for? 你为几个雇主工作过？其实也就是问你换过几个工作了。
4. what work were you responsible for at your previous work unit？你在以前工作的部门具体负责什么工作？be responsible for something，负责某事，也就是做某项工作。previous work unit，以前的工作部门。
5. 一般这样的问题据实回答就可以了，除非考官对你某方面的工作经验感兴趣，否则不要自己说起来没完，要学会见机行事。
