面試英語：開場白 Opening Remarks
Susan: Excuse me. May I see Mr. John Watt, the personnel manager?
Watt: It's me. What can I do for you?
Susan: I have come at your invitation for an interview. Nice to meet you, Mr. Watt.
Watt: Nice to meet you too. Please sit down.
Susan: Thank you.
Watt: May I have your name?
Susan: My name is Susan Li.
Watt: OK, Miss Li, we have received your letter in answer to our advertisement. I would like to talk with you regarding your qualifications for this position.
Susan: I am very happy that I am qualified for an interview.
Notes:
1. 對話中Susan來參加面試，人事經理接待了她。人事經理是the personnel manager。Susan開始問：May I see Mr. John Watt, the personnel manager?（我想見人事經理。）May I...? 是非常客氣的問話方式。Susan問的人正是人事經理，他回答到：It's me. What can I do for you? （我就是，有什麼事情嗎？）
2. Susan回答I have come at your invitation for an interview. 我是應你們的要求來面試的。at one's invitation，在某人的邀請下。例如：He came to my birthday party at my mother's invitation. 我母親邀請他來參加我的生日舞會。這句話還可以這樣說：I'm here for an interview as requested.
3. 兩個人互相打過了招呼。May I have your name? 直譯就是"我可以知道你的名字嗎？"是很客氣的問法。We have received your letter in answer to our advertisement. I would like to talk with you regarding your qualifications for this position. （我們已經收到您回覆招聘廣告的信函了。我想和你談談你的情況和這個職位。）這裏面應該包括了簡歷。更加簡單的說法是：We have received your letter and resume, and we thought we would like to ask you to come here for an interview.
4. be qualified for something或者是be qualified to do something，有資格做某事。例如：You're not qualified to be a doctor. 你沒有做醫生的資格。表示"很榮幸參加面試"還可以這樣說：It is a great pleasure for me to have this opportunity for interview.
