答：我從現時的工作中已學到了許多關於塑料工業的知識，我非常高興曾有機會在Fiske有限公司裡工作。然而，我發現自己的真正興趣在於搞開發，而Fiske公司決定在未來兩年內把這些都擱置起來。這就是我對貴單位如此感興趣的原因，因為正如我所知道的，Randy企業集團十分重視開發，而且它是一家頗受尊敬的業界領袖。
面試官首先關心的是轉職者為什麼總是打算轉職，向面試官說明你的決定是經過深思熟慮的。解釋一下你為什麼決定選擇這一特殊職位，同樣也要說明這個職位將會怎樣提高你的天賦技能及發展你的興趣愛好。??
Q:Why do you want to leave your current position?
A:I've learned quite a bit about the plastics industry in my current position and am very glad to have had the opportunities I've had at Fiske, Inc. However, I?ve found that my interests really lie in research and development, which Fiske has recently decided to phase out over the next two years. And that's why I'm so interested in this organization, because, as I understand, Randy Corporation places a great deal of emphasis on R&D, and is also a highly respected leader in the industry.??
問：為什麼你要放棄職業介紹所裡一份已經穩定下來的工作，而去追求一個實質上你只是入門者的市場推廣職位呢？?
答：我非常喜歡在介紹所裡工作，還學會了很多有用的技能。但同時，我幾乎止步不前了。我的工作不再給我任何挑戰。我考慮了很久，確信現在是改變的時候了。
正因我對市場推廣有興趣，去年我那十多歲的孩子和一些鄰居的小孩計劃賣T恤以幫助本地一個因火災而失去家園的家庭時，我立刻幹起來了：設計、分發宣傳海報，在當地報紙上刊登廣告，在食品雜貨店和購物中心外面擺賣襯衣。剛開始，我真的不對這項工作抱太多的想法，但是當看見了自己的勞動成果，我開始感到興奮了。我懂得了一個道理：你可能會取得一項巨大成就或擁有偉大的理想，但如果不為別人所知，那麼你的才能就會被淹沒。我終於感覺到自己似乎在做一件與眾不同的事；而且，我做得很好。從那次以後，我選讀了兩門有關市場推廣的入門課程，並計劃在這個秋天報讀一個業餘學位課程。?
此外，我可以把曾在職業介紹所裡學到的許多技巧和能力運用到市場推廣這一行。畢竟，職業介紹所同樣是為社團委託人和求職者提供推銷代理服務，並向社團委託人介紹求職者等。
面試官試圖要確定兩件事：應聘者選擇職業的動機，以及他們是否有這樣一種可能性——滿足於一個比他或她的前一份工作要求較低能力及責任心的`職位。你得消除他們的顧慮，詳述你轉職的原因，還必須說明你對這個職位有充分的認識並大體上了解這一行業。許多應聘者希望他們的新職業是以一份與之前所從事工作同等水平的工作作為開始。但事實上，許多轉職者如果不至於是從入門水平做起的話，也多半必須從新公司的底層做起，以積累新領域裡的基本經驗和知識。?
毫無疑問，如果有一段時間你失業了，你就得面對一些麻煩問題。你正在疑惑自己是否還具備你所應有的素質。關鍵就是弄清楚你所有的技能是否適應時代要求。如果不是，那麼你就該考慮接受再培訓，可能是學習新的電腦課程或去當地的大學裡學習。如果你的技能是現代化的，那就不用擔心了。你需要強調的是以前工作的經驗和技巧，還有你在失業期間保持與時代同步的方法（閱讀商貿期刊，業餘寫作，參加研討會等），以及你在家中學會的一些技能，它們也許可以轉化到工作上來。

Q:Why would you want to leave an established career at an employment agency for an essentially entry?level position in marketing?
A:I?ve enjoyed my work at the agency and have gained many valuable skills from it. At the same time, however, I feel as if I've stopped growing. I?m no longer challenged by my work. I?ve thought about this for a long time, and I'm confident that it's time for a change.?
As for my interest in marketing, last year my teenage children and some of the other neighborhood kids decided to design and sell T?shirts to benefit a local family who?d lost their home to a fire. I pitched in by designing and distributing posters, placing advertisements in local newspapers, and selling shirts outside grocery stores and shopping malls. At first I really didn't give the project a lot of thought, but when I saw the fruits of my labor, I began to get very excited about it. I learned that you can have a great product and a great cause, but if nobody knows about it, you're dead in the water. I finally felt as if I was making a difference—and I was good at it, too. Since then I've taken two introductory marketing courses and am planning to enroll in a part?time degree program this fall.?
Furthermore, I'll be able to use many of the skills and abilities I've gained at the employment agency in the marketing field. After all, working for an employment agency is marketing—marketing the agency to corporate clients and job seekers, and marketing job seekers to corporate clients.?
