目前用人单位普遍对英语水平要求较高,还有一些需要小语种人才,而这个要求更多地是使用语言交流沟通的能力,它当然跟聊天不一样,如果你能外国朋友很好地聊天,并不代表你能适应这份工作,来看一些背景知识:
Background:
口语和聊天相比,有具有以下几个明显的特点:一是主题的明确性。面试时的口语有一个明确的中心,应试者必须按照招聘单位指定的中心内容进行论述的交谈。不像日常聊天那样经常转换话题,话题具有不可预测性,如果应聘时口语离开中心漫无边际地乱扯,或者答非所问,即使讲的头头是道,也只能以失败而告终。二是表达的逻辑性。日常的聊天往往是句式松懈、重复累赘、条理不清、颠三倒四,而求职面试的口语则必须讲究表达的逻辑性,要求概念清晰、语意连贯、层次分明、推理严密、言之有据。三是词语的文雅性。日常聊天经常使用俚语、谚语、歇后语等,具有俚俗性、俏皮性特点。而求职面试时使用的口语必须庄重、文雅、充分体现出求职者高雅的气质和高尚的风貌。四是较强的表演性。日常聊天时的口语对语音、语调的要求并不高,语言中的弱化、模糊和脱离现象经常出现。而求职面试时的口语既要求语言规范、清晰,又要求其语调富于变化,也就是说,在口语的表达上要求有较强的表现力,富有表演性。
