A position like yours
When Mr Andrews left university, he got a good job in a big english training centre, but after he had been there for a few years, he decided that he would like a change. He also wanted to get a more important positon, so that he could get more money, and perhaps also do more interesting work, so he put an advertisement in several newspapers, saying what experience he had, describing the kind of job he had at that time and the kind he would like to have.
One of the answers he received was from another man who was looking for a job too. This man wrote to him, “Dear sir, when you get a new job, please be kind enough to give my name and address to your present employer, as I have been trying to find a position like yours for a long time.”
和你一样的工作岗位
安德鲁斯大学毕业后在一家很大的英语培训机构里找到了一份不错的差事。不过在那里工作了几年之后,他便决定换一份工作。他很想找到一个更重要的职位,这样的话他便可以多赚些钱,或许也能做些更有意思的工作。因此他在几家报纸上刊登了广告,说明他有何种工作经验,并叙述了他过去的工作性质以及未来他想要做什么样的工作。
在他收到的回信中,有一封信是另一个也在找工作的人寄来的。这个人在信中写道:“亲爱的先生,当您获得一份新工作时,请您行行好把我的名字和住址转交给您的雇主吧。因为想找一份和您提到的一模一样的工作我已经花了很长时间了。”
