職場(chǎng)無(wú)法參加面試英語(yǔ)奇葩理由
It’s safe to say, summer is the prime time of year for skipping out on work-related commitments and just chilling. With the silly season winding down, British recruiting firm Aspire asked its headhunters in the U.K., Singapore, and Hong Kong to recall the strangest excuses they’d heard lately from candidates who either came late to job interviews or never turned up at all. Here’s their list:
可以肯定地說(shuō)，夏天絕對(duì)是避開(kāi)與工作相關(guān)的所有義務(wù)，找個(gè)好地方避暑的黃金時(shí)節(jié)。隨著這個(gè)無(wú)聊季節(jié)的結(jié)束，英國(guó)獵頭公司Aspire要求英國(guó)、新加坡和香港的獵頭們回憶一下面試遲到或根本未在面試中露面的求職者都給出了哪些最奇葩的理由�，F(xiàn)在，讓我們一起鑒賞一下吧。
