Unit 9 Customer Service
大连理工大学出版社
dutpgz
Good customer service means making customers feel special. In customer service, there’s such a saying —“The customer is always right”. Service is everything. If a person receives poor service from a store, he will probably avoid shopping there in the future. On the other hand, customers often remain loyal to a business that has excellent service even if their prices are high. The language in this unit is rather colloquial. So, through the learning of a new reading skill—making an inference, you can read between the lines.

How to make effective presentation 成功演讲技巧 ( 3 )
要使演讲成功，光开好头还不行，还得把各个部分有机地串联起来。否则， 纵使每个部分都是珍珠，没有一根线把它们串起来，演讲也不能算得上成功。因 此，在不同部分之间过渡时，我们需要一些连接词把它们衔接起来。下面介绍一 些有用的短语和句子结构：
It is + adj. + that 是一种虚拟语气的句式，因此如果中间的形容词是necessary, important 等等，不必译成“必要的/重要的是……”, 而是在主句谓语动词前加上“应 该”、“必须”、“务必”、“要”等词。如：
It is necessary that all parties involved negotiate on an equal footing in order to find a satisfactory solution to the problem.

Settling a claim We are not liable for the damage. It is a case of force majeure which is beyond our control. It is clearly a case for which the underwriters should take responsibilities. The claim should be referred to the ship owner. We are sorry we can’t entertain your claim. We regret our inability to accommodate your claim. According to the contract, a minor discrepancy in colors is permissible. After making a thorough investigation, we have decided to accept your claim. We will compensate for your loss if we were responsible for it. We hope this unfortunate incident will not affect the relationship between us. The claim is not well supported by facts. The claim is unfounded. We can assure you that such a thing will not happen again in future deliveries. I’m afraid we can’t accept your return because the guarantee has expired.

Unit 9 职场Background KnowledgeI. CareerCareer is a term defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as an individual’s ―course or progress through life (or a distinct portion of life)‖. As of 2006, the word usually only pertains to one’s remunerative work (and sometimes also formal education).A career is traditionally seen as a course of successive situations that make up a person's worklife. One can have a sporting career or a musical career without being a professional athlete or musician, but most frequently "career" in the 20th century referenced the series of jobs or positions by which one earned one's money. It tended to look only at the past.As the idea of personal choice and self direction picks up in the 21st century, aided by the power of the Internet and the increased acceptance of people having multiple kinds of work, the idea of a career is shifting from a closed set of achievements, like a chronological résumé of past jobs, to a defined set of pursuits looking forward. In its broadest sense, career refers to an individual’s work and life roles over their lifespan.In the relatively static societies before modernism, many workers would often inherit or take up a single lifelong position (a place or role) in the workforce, and the concept of an unfolding career had little or no meaning. With the spread during the Enlightenment of the idea of progress and of the habits of individualist self-betterment, careers became possible, if not expected.II. Career AssessmentCareer Assessments are tests that come in a variety of forms and rely on both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Career Assessments can help individuals identify and better articulate their unique interests, values, and skills. Career counselors, executive coaches, career development centers, and outplacement companies often administer career assessments to help individuals focus their search on careers that closely match their unique personal profile.Career counseling advisors assess people's interests, personality, values and skills, and also help them explore career options and research graduate and professional schools. Career counseling provides one-on-one or group professional assistance in exploration and decision making tasks related to choosing a major/occupation, transitioning into the world of work or further professional training. The field is vast and includes career placement, career planning, learning strategies and student development.By the late 20th century a plethora of choices (especially in the range of potential professions) and more widespread education had allowed it to become fashionable to plan (or design) a career: in this respect the careers of the career counsellor and of the career advisor have grown up. It is also not uncommon for adults in the late 20th/early 21st centuries to have dual or multiple careers, either sequentially or concurrently. Thus, professional identities havebecome hyphenated or hybridized to reflect this shift in work ethic. Economist Richard Florida notes this trend generally an d more specifically among the ―creative class.‖III. When Job-Hunting: Dress for SuccessIt’s probably one of the most overused phrases in job-hunting, but also one of the most underutilized by job-seekers: dress for success. In job-hunting, first impressions are critical. Remember, you are marketing a product—yourself—to a potential employer, and the first thing the employer sees when greeting you is your attire; thus, you must make every effort to have the proper dress for the type of job you are seeking. Will dressing properly get you the job? Of course not, but it will give you a competitive edge and a positive first impression.Should you be judged by what you wear? Perhaps not, but the reality is, of course, that you are judged. Throughout the entire job-seeking process employers use short-cuts—heuristics or rules of thumb—to save time. With cover letters, it's the opening paragraph and a quick scan of your qualifications. With resumes, it is a quick scan of your accomplishments. With the job interview, it's how you're dressed that sets the tone of the interview.How should you dress? Dressing conservatively is always the safest route, but you should also try and do a little investigating of your prospective employer so that what you wear to the interview makes you look as though you fit in with the organization. If you overdress (which is rare but can happen) or underdress (the more likely scenario), the potential employer may feel that you don't care enough about the job.How do you find out what is the proper dress for a given job/company/industry? You can call the Human Resources office where you are interviewing and simply ask. Or, you could visit the company's office to retrieve an application or other company information and observe the attire current employees are wearing—though make sure you are not there on a ―casual day‖ and misinterpret the dress code.Finally, do you need to run out and spend a lot of money on clothes for interviewing? No, but you should make sure you have at least two professional sets of attire. You'll need more than that, but depending on your current financial condition, two is enough to get started and you can buy more once you have the job or have more financial resources.Hints for Dress for Success for Men and WomenAttention to details is crucial, so here are some tips for both men and women. Make sure you have:⊙clean and polished conservative dress shoes⊙well-groomed hairstyle⊙cleaned and trimmed fingernails⊙minimal cologne or perfume⊙no visible body piercing beyond conservative ear piercings for women⊙well-brushed teeth and fresh breath⊙no gum, candy, or other objects in your mouth⊙minimal jewelry⊙no body odorFinally, check your attire in the rest room just before your interview for a final check of your appearance—to make sure your tie is straight, your hair is combed, etc..Reading Skill FocusPractice 21. autocratic parent–his word is the law; he assumes he knows what is best for his children and the children will learn discipline and respect for authority;2. democratic parent –he is willing to discuss and listen; his role is advisor3. permissive parent–he has no rules and offers no guidance to his childrenReading MosaicComprehensive Reading同事转变成竞争对手1 你得承认当你的同事从上级那里获得称赞，你会有点嫉妒。
