【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: Welcome to our weekly program. Well, if you want to get a raise at work, but you just don't know how to ask, our next guest has some helpful tips on how to raise your pay by helping you negotiate with the boss. Here is Janet Smith, senior director from DOS Executive search firm in San Diego. Hi Janet, how do we get a raise?
W: Well, we found in our report that there are really four things that you could do. The first step was making sure your boss knew what you are up to. He can't see everything and you have to make sure he knows you're here contributing to the bottom line.
M: Well, that could be bragging though. So you have to shamelessly promote yourself then.
W: Maybe not shame-free. You don't want to be rude, but every now and again if you did something that's really noteworthy, let them know, or to get praised from somebody else.
M: So should you just put together a list of things you've done and hand it to your boss?
W: It doesn't work because the boss generally has the data to check up on you. So the second point is, don't overstate because if you lie, you are really going to lose a lot of credibility on the things that you actually did do well.
M: Right, definitely.
W: OK, so what you want to do is to point out some of the things that you've done, but be honest about it, and only take credit where credit's due.
M: That's correct.
W: And third you may think ahead.
M: What do you mean by that?
W: A lot of people forget the things that they've done that are good, so one of the things that we found was that it was really helpful if you kept a diary of the things that you've done that work extraordinary. And then come with review time, you're prepared and you really should be preparing about, you know, three months in advance to win your performance tributes.
M: That's a good idea. Alright, then what's the last point?
W: The last point is to go online. You can research competitive wages for your, eh, particular job at either salary.com, salaryexpert.com or bls.gov, so that's some of my advice and hopefully people will check it out.
M: Yeah! I think I want to go see my boss.
W: Yes, you can. But get prepared.
M: OK. Janet, thank you for joining us. We appreciate it.
W: Thank you very much.
Who is Janet Smith?
本题问Janet Smith的身份。男士的开场白Welcome to our weekly program说明对话场景是一个“周播节目”。再根据男士对Janet Smith的介绍:our next guest,可知Janet Smith是weekly program的嘉宾(guest),故答案为C项。A项的reporter“记者”以及D项中的magazine editor“杂志编辑”对话均未提及,故排除。Janet Smith是DOS高管猎头公司的资深总监(senior director),而非执行董事(executive director),故B项也排除。
