下面请看SAM的面试实战，看他是怎么应付这些问题的。
MANAGER:Good morning, Mr.
Brown!
Please sit down!
SAM: Good morning, sir.
Thank you.
MANAGER:Why did you apply for an internship in this company?
SAM:Well, sir, your company is located very near the college, so it would be very convenient for me to work here.
MANAGER:Anything else?
SAM:Yes, well, your company is an engineering company, and as I am an engineer, it seems I might be able to make myself useful.
MANAGER: Er, I see.
Among the qualities we are looking for is technical ability and practical skills.
A lot of university graduates have paper qualifications--but can they deliver?
What would you say to that?
SAM: Yes, well, at my college, we have been working mainly on theoretical aspects so that we have a firm foundation.
But each semester we have been asked to work on a practical project of some kind or other.
Can you give me an example?
SAM: Yes, well, during the last semester, I did the technical drawing of an experimental water pump.
We had to do a presentation at the end of the semester.
MANAGER: Really!
Did you bring the drawing with you?
SAM: I'm afraid I didn't.
I didn't think you would be interested.
MANAGER: I see!
Tell me, did you do that as an individual assignment?
SAM: Well, I worked with a team of five other people on the pump.
I didn't want to get too involved, because of the time factor, so I offered to do the drawing, based on the design that had been worked out.
MANAGER: What part did the others play in developing the pump?
SAM: Well, I didn't have time to attend all the meetings, so I'm not sure exactly what everybody did.
MANAGER: I see.
It sounds a bit ambitious.
SAM: Yes, it was.
It took us far too long to get organized, and some of them said they wanted to try it out, and modify it.
That was a good thing, I suppose, and I believe in the end it worked quite well, but I didn't get involved in the trials.
To be honest, I was worried about our end of semester exams!
MANAGER: Right, Mr.
Brown.
That's all for the moment.
I'll let you know soon what we decide.
SAM: Yes, sir.
Thank you very much.
