Part Four: Monologue

I work in the human resources department of my company, and it is often my responsibility to hire new employees. When trying to fill open positions within the company, I have certain qualities that I look for in a potential employee. Are they dedicated and hard working? Are they willing to be trained? Do their interests and career goals match those of the company? It’s difficult choosing the right candidate and I want to be sure that both the company and the employee will benefit from one another. Relevant experience and educational background are important as well, but there is more required in finding the best person for the job.

--Steve Peters, Human Resources Division

我在公司的人力资源部工作，我的工作职责通常是招聘新的员工。当公司有空缺需要招聘人员的时候，我会留意在未来的员工身上是否有以下的品质：他们是否敬业？是否工作努力？他们是否乐意接受培训？他们的兴趣和事业目标是否与公司的一致？招到合适的人选不容易，我也希望能够确保公司和员工之间能够双方受益。招聘最合适的人担任某项工作，相关的经验和教育背景很重要，但是还有更多的要求。
