M: And we’re bringing you the final lesson of our job interview series. E: That’s right. And in this lesson we’re gonna be focusing on two very very common, but sometimes difficult questions. M: Okay, so, we’ve talked about preparing for the job interview in Part One. Part Two, we talked about educational background and work experience. And in Part Three what are we gonna be looking at? E: We’re gonna be looking at two questions. Why we should hire you? M: Uhu. E: And your greatest weakness. M: Okay, so these are the classic, common questions that you’ll get at a job interview, right? E: That’s right. So, why don’t we just get started and we’ll take a listen to the dialogue and see how our interviewee handles these questions.  第 一 次故事对话(对话文本在本期首篇)   M: Well, our interviewee is doing very well, but I think he had a little bit to many, ah, beans or chili. E: Oh my god. Like this is probably the most embarrassing thing I can think of. M: But he doesn’t say anything, so I don’t know h… maybe he should’ve said, oh, pardon me, excuse me or something like that. E: I don’t know. M: I don’t know, it’s a controversy. E: Yeah. Okay, but what isn’t a controversy is the language, cause there’s some great stuff in here. M: Alright, so let’s take a look at the language in “ language takeaway”.  1， Voice: Language takeaway. E: Alright, we’ve got some great phrases and words for you to use when you’re talking about what sort of benefits and skills and experience and expertise you can bring to a company. M: Okay, the first thing that he said and… a… a very interesting word, he said, technical  acumen. E: Technical acumen. M: Acumen. E: Acumen. M: This is a really hard word. What is acumen? E: It’s basically insight and understanding and the ability to, um, make good and difficult decisions. M: Okay, so, yes, a very strong technical acumen. E: So, a strong insight or understanding of technical issues. M: Okay, or I can change it and maybe say "I have a very strong  business   acumen". E: Exactly, these are the two most common ways that this word is used, technical acumen, business   acumen. M: Okay, great. Now let’s take a look at another word, which is very interesting, cause everybody knows it. E: Yes. M:  Excel. E: Excel. M: Excel. E: Excel. M: Now, excel is, of course, the software that you use, right? E: Yeah, but here it’s a verb  meaning to be really really good at something. M: Right, to be the best maybe. E: Yeah. M:  To  excel at something.
