Job Hunter
Simon had a cousin called Amy
who had to leave school and get a job to support her family.
She had loved shopping since she was a little girl,
so she decided to look for a job in a department store.
She began her hunt at an office of the Labour Department's Careers Advisory Service.
Here she got two pamphlets.
'Choosing Your Career' told her how to apply for a job
and what to do at an interview.
'Department Stores' described the kinds of jobs available in these stores,
the qualifications needed for them,
the salaries,working hours and holidays,and training and prospects.
Amy's next step was to search the newspapers
until she found a suitable vacancy  and write a letter of application.
As a result,she was invited to an interview.
She was delighted but like most applicants
she got nervous when she thought about the interview.
Fortunately,she knew what to do to build up her confidence.
Before she went to the interview,she made two journeys.
One was to a branch of the store.
While she walked round it,
she noted the things it sold how the staff behaved and the way they dressed.

求职者
赛蒙有个表妹叫做艾米
她打算离开学校去找份工作来帮持家计。
在她还是个小女孩的时候，她就很喜欢购物了，
所以她决定去百货商场找一份工作。
她先从劳动职业咨询服务所开始她的找工作之旅。
这里有两本小册子。
《选择你的职业》教她怎样去求职
以及面试时该怎么做。
《百货商场》则介绍了这个商场里需要招聘的职位，
以及招聘的要求，
薪水，工作和放假时间，以及培训等方面。
艾米的下一步就是去报纸上找
直到她找到一个适合她的空缺职位，并写一份申请。
结果她得到了一个面试邀请。
她很高兴，但是就像其他求职者一样，
当她想到面试的情形时就会感到很紧张。
幸运的是，她知道要怎样树立自己的信心。
在她去面试前，她去了两个地方。
一个是百货商场的分店。
当她正在四处看时，
她注意到了商场工作人员的行为举止和他们的着装。
