Chapter 151 70 Cannon Fodder Educated Youth 30
"Then do you know which country the foreign guest is from?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked the leader.
"I don't know yet. But you are required to know the languages of multiple countries. This is a very challenging thing for you! Your advantage is that you know the languages of several major countries, including professional terminology, and you have translated several high-quality works. I have never doubted your professionalism."
"But your shortcomings are also obvious. You have not received any special training, let alone experienced a long period of translation practice. In layman's terms, you have been doing written translations, but I don't know if you can react quickly and flexibly apply them in translation practice!"
"Originally, translation work like this requires extensive professional knowledge and long-term training and practice before you can take up the job! But as you know, we have suffered from a serious loss of talent in various fields in recent years, especially students returning from overseas, which has almost brought translation to a standstill! When we really need it, we find that we don’t have enough people, and retraining also takes time, so now is the window period, and we are selecting from among you."
"Once selected, you may step out from behind the scenes and step onto the stage. You will also undergo a short period of training before receiving foreign guests. Afterwards, you can choose to stay here or go there. So do you want to accept this challenge?" Boss Yang explained the whole story.
Boss Yang was actually reluctant to let this little girl go, but he would not hinder her career and respected her choice. Several people had wanted to transfer her away before, after all, why would a scientific research compiler stay in this bookstore?
But Xu Xiaoxiao didn't want to work as a translator in a confidential and closed place for many years, so she was hired as a non-staff member. Moreover, he was not limited to translating in a certain industry, but also involved in other industries.
As a result, she learned a lot of different things, and Boss Yang was very supportive of her. No matter what information she needed, he would find it for her immediately. If she couldn't find it, he would use his network of contacts to try to find it for her. The boss went to other bookstores and libraries for her.
Fortunately, Xu Xiaoxiao has a cheat code, otherwise he would have been bald long ago, and he wouldn’t know how thick the lenses of his myopic glasses should be.
"Boss Yang, I accept the challenge. When is the interview? What do I need to prepare?" Xu Xiaoxiao thought about it and agreed.
She is still young, and although she doesn't have the drive of young people of this era to put work above everything else, she is still willing to try various things she has never tried before, even if she fails.
What's more, if you pass the interview and it's hard to get by there, just come back. Even if you can't make it in either place, you can just change your career and try another job.
"You have so much to learn, and I don't know what else you need to learn. So I don't know what you need to prepare. It depends on you to be flexible when the time comes. As for the specific time, wait for my notification!" Boss Yang really doesn't know what he needs to prepare?
Xu Xiaoxiao returned to her office and continued to work on the unfinished work. After get off work, she took some meat and food and went to her sister's house for a stroll. The little fat boy who had just learned to roll over obviously recognized her! He danced and screamed when he saw her.
The little fat boy was excited to perform a somersault in front of her, but Xu Xiaoxiao was naughty. Whenever he was about to turn over, she would pinch him with her one finger to prevent him from turning over. The little fat boy was so angry that he screamed and was so tired that he was out of breath.
"Why are you bullying him? If he gets angry and cries, you will be responsible for comforting him."
"This little fat boy is really funny. But don't tease him any more, or he will really cry."
Xu Xiaoxiao had a meal at her sister's house, chatted for a while and then went back! A few days later, Boss Yang came to find her and asked her to go for a unified interview in three days!
Because the interview location was not in her province and she had to take a train to get there, she needed to leave early and stay there for a few days, so she had to go home and pack her luggage.
Xu Xiaoxiao took the letter of introduction, train ticket and interview address handed to her by Boss Yang, and went home to pack her luggage.
Before leaving, Boss Yang also told her to adjust her mentality and not to be nervous. It doesn't matter if she doesn't pass the interview, because they are confident and don't worry about losing their jobs.
Xu Xiaoxiao rushed to the interview location after a long journey, and checked into a room at a nearby guesthouse. As soon as she entered the room, she immediately went to the space to take a shower. The smell in the trains of this era was really bad, and she felt like she was almost marinated.
I changed my clothes, went out for a walk, and had dinner outside before returning to the guesthouse!
On the day of the interview, Xu Xiaoxiao wore a white shirt, a jacket, black pants, and leather shoes. She looked neat and dignified, and in line with her age. She was young, so there was no need to dress old-fashioned. After thinking about it, she put on some nude makeup.
After looking left and right in front of the mirror and thinking that there was nothing wrong, she picked up a bag and went there early! As soon as she entered the door, she found that many people were looking at her, but when they saw that it was a little girl, they shifted their gazes. Xu Xiaoxiao thought she came early, but she didn't expect that others came earlier than her.
She found a corner and sat down to observe the people in the hall. They were all big names in the translation industry. She also found that there were more men than women, and most of them had a common feature, that is, less hair and thick glasses!
Xu Xiaoxiao touched her hair, not knowing how long it would stay on her head. Moreover, these people were generally older, and Xu Xiaoxiao did not find anyone younger than her after comparing them.
The young and handsome translator in the TV series and novel is almost never seen. It turns out that there is a huge gap between reality and imagination.
There were more and more people in the hall. Some of them met acquaintances and were chatting with three or five people. Xu Xiaoxiao was getting more and more bored as she waited.
"Little girl, how old are you? You are here for an interview as well." An old man adjusted his glasses and walked over, asking her with a smile.
"Hello, I'm 18 years old. My boss asked me to come for an interview and also to broaden my horizons!" Xu Xiaoxiao answered modestly.
"18 years old, you are really young! Since your leader is confident in letting you come for the interview, it proves that he has confidence in you. Little girl, perform well and don't let your leader down." The uncle encouraged her with a smile.
"Hmph, you are so young and you haven't read more books yet, but you come here for an interview. You really don't know your place. Your leader sent you here to broaden his horizons, but you don't know what he is talking about. Doesn't he know what this place is? This is extremely disrespectful to this place." A discordant female voice appeared nearby.
The uncle and Xu Xiaoxiao turned around and saw that the person was a fashionable older sister wearing black-framed glasses and bright red lipstick!
"Why are you talking so harshly? Did the girl offend you? The fact that she can get here proves that she has certain ability. What she needs is our encouragement, not looking down on her because of her young age." Another thin uncle wearing a loose shirt nearby immediately retorted!
"That's right. We are all old, and we should be happy to see these young people appear here! After all, the future of the country depends on these energetic young people. They are the hope for the future." The uncle who spoke to Xu Xiaoxiao first also agreed.
"Little girl, don't be afraid. This uncle is right. Since your leader dares to call you over, it means he has confidence in you. Don't be nervous whether you can pass the interview or not. Perform well. Your life has just begun and there are unlimited possibilities in the future." The thin uncle also comforted her!
"I thank the two senior uncles for their kind words. Although the leader asked me to come here for an interview to broaden my horizons, he also wanted me to learn from the seniors. He said that the seniors are all knowledgeable, calm, introverted, and experienced people. If I can learn a little, it will be worth his effort to let me come here."
"As for the interview, I will definitely perform well and try not to disappoint the leader and live up to his trust." Xu Xiaoxiao continued to answer in a low-key manner.
"Okay, well said, this is the vigor and vitality that young people should have. Young people should be like this." Several uncles around looked at her and expressed their agreement.
"Hmph, you flatterer, what's the point no matter how nice your words are? An interview requires real talent. The people here are not your leader's family, but no one will spoil you." The older sister couldn't stand her anyway.
"Yes, an interview requires real qualifications! This interview is fair and there is no rule that younger people are not allowed to participate! It is both reasonable and legal for me to come, so what are you dissatisfied with?" It should be the repulsion between the same sex, she also couldn't stand that old lady.
The old lady was about to say something when the door opened again! This time several people came in, they must be the interviewers!
The person who was in charge first thanked them for taking the time to come to this interview. He also specifically pointed out that not many talents were needed this time!
Even if there are unsuccessful candidates in this interview, it doesn’t mean that they are not good, it just means that they studied different majors. After all, everyone is a leader in their respective fields.
Secondly, I told you all the rules of the interview, as well as what kind of talents are needed, the number of talents needed, and what conditions the required talents must possess.
If you feel that your major is not suitable for you or you are not sufficiently prepared, you can withdraw and return to your original unit.
After that, there were written tests, oral tests, reaction ability, translation accuracy, and other tests! Because there were so many people to interview, these tests were completed in three days!
Today is the first day, and the interviewees took part in the first written test, with several papers covering several languages! This kind of written test was not a problem for Xu Xiaoxiao at all, so she answered the questions quickly.
She finished writing as quickly as possible, and checked it carefully to make sure there were no problems before handing it in. The others were stunned for a moment when they saw someone handing in their papers so quickly, and then continued to work on the papers in their hands.
