1 .Thanks for coming in today to discuss your internship experience.
该句暂无译文！
2 .Completing some sort of work experience, like an internship, is a core part of our Master's programme, and we want to make sure students are able to make the most of it.

第二段
1 .That's fine.
该句暂无译文！
第三段
1 .So, as I understand, you were offered an internship by Gregory Associates.
该句暂无译文！
2 .Is that correct?
该句暂无译文！
第四段
1 .Actually, I got offers from a few companies,
该句暂无译文！
2 .but Gregory Associates was the only one I seriously considered.
该句暂无译文！
第五段
1 .Was there any reason for that?
该句暂无译文！
第六段
1 .Yeah. They didn't offer the best conditions - some of the other companies were offering to cover transportation and other living costs,
该句暂无译文！
2 .that kind of thing - but I knew Gregory Associates was a widely recognised leader in the industry,
该句暂无译文！
3 .and that was the big factor for me.
该句暂无译文！
第七段
1 .And were you happy with your choice?
该句暂无译文！
第八段
1 .Well, yes and no.
该句暂无译文！
第九段
1 .Mixed feelings? Yeah. I mean, don't get me wrong - everyone in the office was great.
该句暂无译文！
2 .They didn't talk down to me and they were always happy to assist if I wasn't sure about something.
该句暂无译文！
第十段
1 .Was it the work, then?
该句暂无译文！
2 .Some students do find internships a little tedious and boring.
该句暂无译文！
第十一段
1 .It's not that it was boring.
该句暂无译文！
2 .I was doing new things every day and I loved that.
该句暂无译文！
3 .They really kept me on my toes.
该句暂无译文！
4 .It's just that, I'm studying economics, you know?
该句暂无译文！
5 .But most of the projects I was assigned to involved more ...
该句暂无译文！
6 .administrative stuff ...
该句暂无译文！
7 .It just wasn't relevant to what I've been studying.
该句暂无译文！
第十二段
1 .I'm sorry to hear that. I'll make a note of it.
该句暂无译文！
2 .Let's talk about the good things.
该句暂无译文！
3 .What did you particularly enjoy about the experience?
该句暂无译文！
第十三段
1 .Well, as an intern, the managers do tend to keep you at arm's length - they just don't trust you enough to let you take on a lot of responsibility for the big projects.
该句暂无译文！
第十四段
1 .That' s understandable.
该句暂无译文！
第十五段
1 .Yes, but in a way, I liked that - because I got to stand back and watch,
该句暂无译文！
2 .and get a real sense of how a company like that runs on a day-to-day basis.
该句暂无译文！
3 .And that was the highlight for me.
该句暂无译文！
第十六段
1 .That' s great to hear. How did you find managing the internship alongside your study commitments?
该句暂无译文！
第十七段
1 .Well, because my internship was over the summer break,
该句暂无译文！
2 .that wasn't an issue for me at all.
该句暂无译文！
第十八段
1 .Okay. What would you say was the biggest struggle then?
该句暂无译文！
第一十九段
1 .In the beginning, I might have said the hours.
该句暂无译文！
2 .Those 6 a.m. starts were tough!
该句暂无译文！
3 .But I quickly got used to that.
该句暂无译文！
4 .In retrospect, the biggest difficulty was getting by on such a tight budget.
该句暂无译文！
5 .As I wasn't earning anything, the whole experience really drained my savings account.
该句暂无译文！
第二十段
1 .Yeah, that can be tough.
该句暂无译文！
2 .And my last question: what was the outcome of this internship for you?
该句暂无译文！
3 .Some of our students are lucky enough to get offers of employment before finishing.
该句暂无译文！
第二十一段
1 .At first, I was hoping I would be one of them.
该句暂无译文！
2 .In the end I wasn't,
该句暂无译文！
3 .but I'm happy about that now.
该句暂无译文！
第二十二段
1 .Why's that?
该句暂无译文！
第二十三段
1 .Well, over the course of the internship, I ended up reconsidering whether this industry is really for me after all.
该句暂无译文！
2 .I'm going to finish my degree, because I'm only a semester away from graduation now,
该句暂无译文！
3 .but then after that I've decided to pursue a different line of work.
该句暂无译文！
第二十四段
1 .Well, I do hope you re successful with that.
该句暂无译文！
第一段
1 .Now, we're putting together a step-by-step guide about the process for students who want to apply for internships,
该句暂无译文！
2 .and we were wondering if you could help us with it.
该句暂无译文！
第二段
1 .Sure.
该句暂无译文！
第三段
1 .What would you say is the first step?
该句暂无译文！
第四段
1 .Before they do anything else, students need to get their documents sorted.
该句暂无译文！
2 .Companies need to see all sorts of things, such as reference letters and verified copies of academic transcripts.
该句暂无译文！
3 .It can take time to get it all together,
该句暂无译文！
4 .so applicants need to get onto this as soon as possible.
该句暂无译文！
第五段
1 .Great, we II put that down as Number One.
该句暂无译文！
2 .And then students should begin researching companies?
该句暂无译文！
第六段
1 .Absolutely. They should look at a wide range of companies and the internships they offer.
该句暂无译文！
2 .They really shouldn't limit themselves at that stage.
该句暂无译文！
第七段
1 .It would be time-consuming to apply to them all, though.
该句暂无译文！
第八段
1 .Yeah, so I think they need to weed out those positions they are not qualified for or that don' t meet their own needs and interests,
该句暂无译文！
2 .and then put together a shortlist consisting only of those positions that are a good match.
该句暂无译文！
第九段
1 .And then?
该句暂无译文！
第十段
1 .Well, the next part is the applications, of course.
该句暂无译文！
2 .I think the big mistake here is that some students just send the same cover letter and the same CV to each company,
该句暂无译文！
3 .when in reality every position is a little bit different.
该句暂无译文！
4 .They really need to alter their applications so that they refer to the individual needs of each position.
该句暂无译文！
第十一段
1 .I'll make a note of that. And should students follow up on their applications?
该句暂无译文！
第十二段
1 .I think so. It's best to call each company - an e-mail is too easy to ignore or delete.
该句暂无译文！
2 .And not too soon, either - a week after the applications have been submitted is probably ideal.
该句暂无译文！
第十三段
1 .So if they get an interview, what's next?
该句暂无译文！
第十四段
1 .Obviously they need to prepare.
该句暂无译文！
2 .For me this included all sorts of things,
该句暂无译文！
3 .like practising my body language in front of the mirror and researching common interview questions on line.
该句暂无译文！
第十五段
1 .Any tips for the interview itself?
该句暂无译文！
第十六段
1 .Most students are so obsessed with having the right answers,
该句暂无译文！
2 .but I think the most important thing is actually to ask questions.
该句暂无译文！
3 .It shows the employer that you are genuinely interested in their company and in the position.
该句暂无译文！
第十七段
1 .That's really helpful advice.
该句暂无译文！
2 .Thanks for coming by today.
该句暂无译文！
第十八段
1 .No problem.
