地道美語(yǔ)聽力播客:Getting an Interview
I've finally landed my first interview. Well, actually, that's not really true. I have been on many interviews for part-time jobs. This was my first interview for a full-time job.
In less than two months, I will graduate from Arizona University. After a lot of back and forthtrying to decide on a major , I finally decided to double major . I would study both political science and marketing .
These are not majors that usually go together . In fact, most people thought I was crazy. But, after a lot of soul searching , I decided to combine my two main interests: 1. politics and 2. getting a job! Those are my two priorities . I thought that if I get degrees in these two fields , I could cast a wide net when going job hunting. And, that's what I'm trying to do now.
Since I don't know if I want to work in the public or private sector , I've applied for jobs in both. In the public sector, I could work for the government. Maybe one day, I could even be aspeech writer for the President! Okay, maybe I should shoot a little lower . In the private sector, I could work for private organizations such as museums, schools, or programs. Some of those are non-profit .
Or, I could work for a company . Everybody tells me that that's where the money is. I haven't decided yet. I'm planning to apply for a lot of jobs and will see what happens. What I want now is just to get some job offers . Then, I can start being picky .
