　　I'm looking for a job.

　　刚离开校门准备投身社会的年青人，第一件事情就是找工作，可这样说：I'm looking for a job (我在找工作)。婉转一点可以说：I'm between jobs(我在待业)，求职者叫做job-seeker。如果不幸失业，你可说：I'm unemployed。

　　对话

　　Receptionist: Good morning, how can I help you?

　　Brian: I'm looking for a job. What do I need to do?

　　Receptionist: You can fill out this form listing all previous experience.

　　Brian: Sure. (5 minutes later) Here you are.

　　Receptionist: Are you sure that you have had this much experience? This is a long list.

　　Brian: Oh, yes. I applied for and have been turned down for all these positions. Impressive huh?

　　接待员：早安，有什么可以为你效劳?

　　布莱恩：我在找工作，我需要做什么?

　　接待员：请你请填写这张表格，列出所有工作经验。

　　布莱恩：可以。(五分钟后)填完了。

　　接待员：很长的资料喔，你真的有这么多工作经验?

　　布莱恩：噢，有的。我曾经申请过这些职位但不被录用，很厉害吧?

　　接待员对求职者说：Please fill out this form listing all previous experience.(请填写这张表格，列出所有工作经验)。Out是in的反义词，但讲到填写表格，说fill in、fill out都可以，例如：Please fill in/fill out this form in block capitals.(请用印刷体大写字母填写本表格)。

　　Experience是‘经验’，你有时会看到I have learned from past/previous experience what to do.(我吸收了过去经验，知道该怎么做)这样的句子。但past、previous等字其实是赘词：既云‘经验’，当然已经‘过去’。写求职信，行文应求简洁，experience一字更不宜冠以past或previous，例如: I feel that with the experience I have gained in the personnel departments of two large institutions, I am sufficiently qualified for the position of Personnel Manager advertised in the 14 March 2007 issue of the Hong Kong Daily. (我曾任职于两家大机构之人事部门，凭此经验，当可胜任三月十四日《香港日报》招聘栏所载人事经理一职)。履历表上，‘工作经验’一栏可称为Work Experience、Work History、Work Chronology(年表)、Job History、Employment History、Employment Record等。
