I'd like to introduce Mr. William Hans, the Human Resources Manager of Lenovo to share his insights into the right ways of recruiting the beststaff. Mr.Hans, first of all, what do you think of your work? Guest: As an HR manager, I am responsible for recruiting the right candidate to fill a vacancy. It doesn't sound like a big deal but now it's become a difficult and costly task. If you appoint the wrong person, it's gonna be a very expensive mistake which could cause personnel problems for the whole department. And you know，it is much more difficult to dismiss someone than it is to employ him. Interviewer: Oh, really, as a staff member of the radio station, I'm actually quite happy to know that. Well, what do you have to decide first when there is a vacancy? Guest: My first decision would be whether to recruit internal applicants or advertise the vacancy outside the company. Interviewer: If it were me, I'd prefer giving the job to an internal applicant. That would be a readycandidate, don't you think so? Guest: Yes. And it's easy and cheap to do so. We could easily do that by memos, e-mails or newslettersinside the company. And furthermore, these people are easy to assess because they've been with usfor quite some time and they know the company very well too. Interviewer: Yeah, if that's the case, why don't you just… Guest: That's exactly what I want to make clear. In spite of all the advantages, an internal candidate doesn't make a good choice because. they rarely bring fresh ideas to a position. If they are rejected, which is not impossible, they might become very upset and leave the company. Interviewer: Yes,I see your point here. I'll think it over very seriously if my boss gives me a new job. Then how about recruiting staff outside the company? Guest: Recruiting outside the company means either advertising the vacancy directly or using anemployment agency. If the company decides to advertise the vacancy directly, it has to decide where to place the advertisement. Traditionally this has meant newspapers and professional journalsbut now the Internet is also very popular. Interviewer: Then what is important when deciding on where to place the ads? Guest: Well, this normally depends on the job itself. For blue-collar or clerical job, we usually advertise inlocal newspapers. For senior management positions, we usually use national newspapers orprofessional journals. I'd like to mention the Internet as one of the best ways of advertising ITVAcancies or recruiting abroad. More and more jobs are being advertised on the Internet. However, with the Internet there is a risk of receiving unsuitable applications from all over the world since it's so easy to click and apply and just try your luck. And it hardly costs anything at all. Interviewer: It is really a tough job(Then in addition to using these media, what do you think of the idea ofusing a recruiting agency? Guest: An agency is either a commercial business or a government employment center. As far as ourcompany is concerned, we usually use a government agency to recruit blue-collar workers but prefera commercial agency to recruit white-collar staff. However, a commercial agency could be very expensive and the applicants are less likely to stay with the company for a long time.24、 A 25、C 26、B 27、C 28、A 29、B 30、A SPEAKING PART 1 31、A: I think three things are of great importance when picking up new customers in airport. First, punctuality, which means to arrive at the airport on time. Although people will understand if you aretrapped in a traffic jam, punctuality is still expected. It's not polite to keep the customers waiting. In my opinion, 5 to 10 minutes ahead would be better. Second, since the customers are new, it is necessaryto prepare a clear billboard stating the name of the customers and their company. It makes sure that we won't miss each other. Third, a warm welcome will help to establish friendship, which may in turn help to establish a new business relationship. Therefore, to show hospitality is also important when pickingup new customers in airport. B: I think there are three points we should consider when looking for a new job. The first point is career opportunities. We're about to make an important decision—one that will provide the best possible foundationfor our future career and the right culture and environment for our ambitions, strengths and abilities. Also, weshould think about the location of job(Sometimes it's very boring if it is very time—consuming to go to work. At last, some people like taking business trips. So the possibility of making business trips is critical for one's decision. PART 2 32、A: When we have to choose a restaurant, we should ask ourselves several questions like"What is thelocation like? Was the atmosphere nice?" As we all know, enjoying the relaxing atmosphere will facilitate one-to-one conversation. What are your views? B: I agree with you. First, I think we should take atmosphere into consideration. It is suitable to choose aquiet restaurant to talk about the business. Go where that the atmosphere is helpful to conducting abusiness. A: That's right. And giving our clients a good impression is very important if we want to establish aharmonious business relationship between us. B: And second, location of restaurant. When location is an issue, choose a spot that is convenient for ourguest. The client will be happy if we choose somewhere near his or her office. That will make the thingsmuch easier. And as for speed of service, of course, nobody likes to wait for a long time, don't they? What do you think? A: Yes, that's true. I have nothing to add really. So location, speed of service and atmosphere are the most important in looking for a good restaurant for a business dinner. Follow-on questions ? Yes, I think it important because visiting and entertaining are ways of establishing business relationship between companies. We'll develop friendship and stimulate cooperation. ? First impressions are important. Because first impressions play an important role in making decisions. ? We need to exhibit good social skills when having dinner or going to the theater with clients. Be clearabout your purpose and find a good timing to start to talk about your business. ? It's a good idea to choose a restaurant with private facilities of semi-private facilities. ? Business meals are essentially business meetings.
