★Jacob is interviewing Thomas for a research assistant position.
雅各正在為研究助理一職面試湯瑪斯。
J: Well, Thomas, your résumé looks fine. You've clearly had some experience in the kind of work we do here, and we are definitely looking for someone with some experience.
嗯，湯瑪斯，你的履歷還不錯。顯然你對我們從事的領域有些經驗，我們當然也是在找有經驗的人。

你何不向我介紹你自己？你的職涯目標是什麼？你對你個人未來的期許是什麼？
T: I suppose my goals right now are to continue on this career path and take on positions of increasing responsibility. Eventually, I'd like to take on a management role, after I've had some more time to build my skills. So I guess that's where I see myself down the road: managing and organizing projects.
我想我目前的目標是繼續在這條職業道路上深造，並取得需要負擔更多責任的職位。在我有更多時間培養技能之後，希望最後能擔任管理職。這就是我對自己未來的期許—管理與組織專案。

那你認為一位經理最重要的特質是什麼？

你曾在團體中擔任領導的角色嗎？我們這裡時常要在團體中緊密合作，與團隊一起順利共事並在需要時能領導是很重要的。
T: Yes, there was a time, on a project I worked on last year, when I…
