30、t to do after a job interview/And go in there with a firm handshake. 毕业了,多么大的一天!你的生活即将开始!你父母说“找工作” ,我告诉你!寻找你的第一份工作很难,阅读所有的工作都是很烦人的,甚至想找出什么实际的工作是很难的,通过你的简历搜索你的简历真的很难。“我没那么一天开着。 ”得到一份工作面试,然后去它的整个过程是相当艰难的。“对不起,你在等着。嗯,有个座位。 ”“我在这里有你的简历,你对助理的职位很感兴趣。”“是啊,是啊”“好吧,这项工作的合适人选必须非常外向,善于交际,毕竟这是一个销售职位。 ”“嗯,我是一个非常外

35、。写一封感谢信是你面试后要做的最重要的事情/在那里用坚定的握手。Listening in “Its not enough to ask what successful people are like.It is only by asking where they are from that we can unravel the logic behind who succeed and who doesnt“This is the basic idea of an intriguing book called Outliers, by the American journalist Malclo
36、m Gladwell.The book explores the factors which contribute to people who are extremely successful in their careers, for example, the role the family , culture and friend play.Gladwell examines the causes of why the majority of Canada ice hokey players are born in the first few months of the calender
37、year,what the founder of Microsoft Bill Gates did to achieve his extraordinary success,and why the Beatles managed to redefine the whole of popular music in the 1960s.Gladwell points out that the youth hockey league in Canada recruits from January the first, so that players born early in the year ar
38、e bigger,stronger and better athletes than others born later in the year.And because they have this advantage at the start of their sports career,theyre given extra coaching,and so theres a greater chance that theyll be picked for an elite hockey team in the future.He calls this phenomenon accumulat
39、ive advantage(积累优势),a bit like the idea that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.Success depends on the process by which talented athletes are identified as much as it does on their own abilities.Another aspect which contributes to success is the 10000 hour rule.Great success demands an enor
40、mous amount of time for practise and training.For example,the Beatles performed live in Hamburg Germany more than 1200times over four years,much more than the 10000 hours Gladwell claim is necessary for great success.So by the time they returned to England,they had developed their talente and sounde
41、d completely different from any other group.In the same way,Bill Gates had thousands of hours worth of programming because he had access to a computer at his high school.He also became a teenager just at the right time to take advantage of the latest developments in computer technology.Outliers has
42、met with extraordinary sucess,matched only by Gladwells own career for 25 years in journalism.As a result, many citics have seen it as an autobiography, in which the writer appears to be apologizing for his own personal achievements.But the ides that you have to be born at the right moment,in the ri
43、ght place and in the right family,and then you have to work really hard is a thought-provoking way of revisiting our traditional view of genius and great achievement.Its certainly worth reading,as long as you dont take it too seriously.“问什么成功的人是不足够的,这是唯一的要求,他们是从我们可以解开背后谁成功,谁不”的逻辑这是一个有趣的书称为离群点的基本思路,由
44、美国记者马尔科姆格拉德威尔。该书探讨的例子,有助于人们在他们的职业生涯非常成功,因素,角色的家庭,文化和朋友玩。Gladwell 探讨为什么加拿大冰球运动员大多数是出生在日历年的前几个月,什么微软的创始人比尔盖茨没有实现他非凡的成功,为什么披头士设法重新定义在上世纪 60 年代流行音乐的整体。格拉德威尔指出加拿大新兵从一月一日青年冰球联赛,让玩家出生在年初更大,更强更好的运动员比其他人在今年晚些时候出生的,因为他们在自己的运动生涯的开始有这个优势,为他们提供额外的培训,所以有一个更大的机会他们会被选为曲棍球队在未来的精英。他称这种现象的累积优势(积累优势) ,有点像的想法,富人更富,穷人更穷。
45、成功取决于有天赋的运动员被认定为是对自己的能力尽可能多的过程。这有助于成功的另一个方面是 10000 小时的规则。伟大的成功需要时间,大量的练习和训练。例如,甲壳虫乐队的现场演出在德国汉堡 1200times 以上超过四年,超过 10000 小时格拉德威尔索赔是成功的必要条件。因此当他们回到英国,他们开发他们的才华和声音从任何其他组完全不同。在同一种方式中,比尔盖茨有上千个小时的节目,因为他在他高中的电脑上,他也成为了一个十几岁的时候,利用计算机技术的最新发展。离群了非凡的成功,只能从自己的生涯 Gladwell 的新闻 25 年。因此,许多城市都被看作是一本自传,其中作家似乎对自己的个人成就
46、而道歉。但你需要应运而生的意见,在正确的的地方,在合适的家庭,然后你必须要努力工作,是一个发人深省的方式重新审视我们传统的天才和伟大的政绩观。它肯定是值得一读的,只要你不要太认真。Listening in 2P:Hi,we are talking about typical working hours in the US and in Brazil.Eric.um.youre from the States,tell me what are the typical working hours in the States?E:Er.traditionally people go to work
