Brian: these days I am staying with one of my college mates, she is here in shanghai to find a job

　　Nikky: ur new girl friend?

　　Brian: no, she is my female friend

　　Nikky: does she find one?

　　Brian: not yet

　　Nikky: why

　　Brian: I don't know, probably cuz her major

　　Nikky: what's her major then?

　　Brian: material engineering(材料工程学), just the same as me

　　【注】大学里我学的是材料工程，具体点是无机非金属材料，再具体点是玻璃和陶瓷之类的东西,我大学的一个师妹和我一个专业，今年毕业，即将面临失业，因为今年就业形势极为严峻，希望在上海找到机会的她最终失望而归。

　　Nikky: that's a quite hot major in America

　　Brian: it is, but the point is that the material engineering is sth that she knows absolutely nothing about

　　【注】我的这个小师妹对材料学根本不感兴趣，大四前鼓起勇气报考了北大工商管理专业的研究生，但又以失败告终。

　　Nikky: excuse me?

　　Brian: she didn't have any interest in this material field

　　Nikky: so what's her interest?

　　Brian: I don't know, she is just my female friend not my girl friend, 2 grades lower than me in the same college, and I came to know her in the college days

　　Nikky: u've been known each other for a long time?

　　Brian: actually not, we lost contact for a long time, because I am here in shanghai,

　　and nikky, I just wonder how the common Americans get the job? Just resumes, agencies and job advertisements?

　　【注】真的对美国人是怎样找工作的感到好奇！
