（单词翻译）

 A:    Very good. Now, I have a couple of final ques-
       tions.

 B:    I hope they’re not too hard!

 A:    Well, why should we hire you?
 B:     I think that I would be a perfect fit in this com-
        pany. I have a unique combination of strong tech-
        nical acumen¹, and outstanding soft skills; you
        know, I excel at building strong, long-term cus-
       tomer relationships.  For example, when I headed
       the customer support department in my previous
       company, our team solved about seventy percent
       of our customers’problems. I decided  that  we
        needed better information and technical  prepa-
        ration² on our products, so after I  implemented³
       a series of training sessions in coordination⁴ with
       our technical department,  we were able to solve
        ninety percent of our customers’issues. Given
       the opportunity, I could bring this kind of success
       to this company.
 A:     Impressive! So,  what would you consider to be
       your greatest weakness?

 B:    To be honest, I struggle with organization and
       time management. Punctuality has never been a
       strength of mine. I find it hard to organize my time
       efficiently⁵. I have actually addressed  this  weak-
       ness recently, by attending a workshop on effi-
       cient  time  management. It  helped  me  a  lot,  by
        providing me with great insights on how to get or-
       ganized and use my time efficiently, so I think I’m
       getting better now.

 A:    Great...  Well, let me tell you  that I am very
       pleased with this interview. We are short-listing
       our candidates this week, and next week we will
       inform our short listed candidates of the day and
       time for a second interview with our CEO.

 B:    Great, thanks a lot! I hope to hear from you! Good
        bye.
