When I succeeded in becoming a part-time employee of Nokia China last summer, many friends asked me how I survived the interview.
I once asked myself the same questions. Many of my peers also __小题1:_ for the job, including some very competitive and intelligent students from famous universities.
But why did the interviewer pick me instead of them?
Finally, _小题2:__ pushed me to ask the interviewers after we became colleagues. The answer was that I appeared confident but humble, responsible and communicative. They evaluated people not just on their academic certificates, but on the base of their __小题3:__ and abilities. I happened to be the right person.
To be frank, I once felt __小题4:__ of being a student from an unknown college, and I think this may apply to some of you. I thought my future was ruined. It was only at the time of my successful interview that I finally understood the famous saying --- “You decide where you go.”
A wide range of skills is important these days. I used to work for Master Kong. My job was to cook instant noodles for customers. I had regarded it as a piece of cake, but I failed constantly. I had to cook the noodles for the right amount of time to make them __小题5:__ good. Moreover, the noodles could only remain in a plastic cup of five minutes, or the taste would be ruined.
This experience taught me never to look down on anything, and always remain humble.
I also __小题6:__ as a volunteer for a beach volleyball event. My job was to help foreign visitors experience the beach. I thought it would be very easy because my oral English was __小题7:__ good. But when I went to talk with a group of foreign guests, I suddenly realized that I did not know a single beach volleyball term. I was embarrassed.
After this, I read brochures in both Chinese and English every day to learn the terms for facilities and related words. This allowed me to deliver accurate __小题8:__ to foreigners, and I was happy to work responsibly.
After these experience, I’m more confident and I strongly believe that my fate is in my  __小题9:__. It has certainly helped me make a giant step closer to my dream of graduating with prospects for the future. I hope my advice will benefit you as well.
