MB: ’s great! We’ll be pleased to have you on the team! Looking forward to seeing you next week! Bye!
PH: Was that Sarah?
MB: Yes - she’s going to accept the job, and wants to come in next week for a chat...
PH: Great news. Now you just have to tell the other guy that we don’t want him...
MB: I hate giving bad news...
PH: I’m glad that it’s your job and not mine!
MB: Ok, may as well do it straightaway... Dear Mr regret to inform you that you have not got the ... sounds a bit too direct. How about...‘Dear Mr Watson, Thank you for your application to WebWare. We regret to inform you that you weren’t successful.’
PH: Hmmm...I think you should say something positive.
MB : But he was terrible!
PH: Well, he wasn’t great, no, but, I think we should be positive and polite.
MB: Yes, you’re absolutely right. OK how about this ‘Dear Mr Watson, Thank you for your application to WebWare. You were a promising candidate. However, we regret to inform you that the competition for the post was very strong, and we will not be offering you the position. Yours sincerely, etc etc...’
PH: Yes, that’s more like we should include some feedback...
MB: Of course – how about if I add this: “In future, you may wish to moderate your personal style, and carefully fact check your CV...” How does that sound?
PH: I’m not sure what ‘moderate your personal style’ means. It’s a bit vague...
MB: , how about ‘give more specific examples of your achievements, and show how you work as part of a team’.
PH: Ok, yes, I like remember to finish with something like, ‘We wish you the best of luck in the future’!
MB: Of course – I certainly do wish him luck! Ok – done. I’ll send it now.
MB:好的，好的，那太好了！歡迎你加入我們的隊伍！期待下週與你相見!再見！
PH:是Sarah嗎？
MB:是的。她會接受這份工作，並且下週會過來交談一下。
PH:真是好消息。現在你所要做的就是告訴另一個人我們不需要他…
MB:我討厭報憂…
PH:幸好這是你的工作，不是我的。
MB:恩，最好還是馬上就去做…尊敬的Watson先生，很遺憾的告訴您你未能得到這份工作…恩…貌似太直接了。”尊敬的Watson先生，感謝你來WebWare 應聘，我們很遺憾地告訴您，您未能成功.”這樣寫怎麼樣？
PH:恩…我覺得你應該說些積極的東西。
MB:但是他太可怕了！
PH:是啊，他當然不出色，但是我覺得我們應該積極點更加有禮貌一點。
MB:恩，你完全正確。“尊敬的Watson先生，感謝你來WebWare應聘。你是個前途無量的應聘者。但是，很遺憾的告訴你，對這個職位的競爭很激烈，你沒能得到這份工作。謹啓…”這樣你覺得怎麼樣？
PH:恩，這樣就比較像了，但是我們還應該寫點反饋。
MB:當然。“今後，您不妨節制一點，仔細覈對自己的履歷…”如果加上這些，你覺得怎麼樣？
PH:我不太清楚”節制一點”具體是什麼意思.太模糊了。
MB:恩，那好吧，那麼”具體說出您所完成的事情，體現您作爲一個團隊的一員是起什麼作用的”怎麼樣？
PH:恩，不錯，我喜歡..記住用”祝你好運”結尾。
MB:當然，我當然希望他一帆風順。我這就發送出去。
