PART 2

Hello everyone. My name's Megan Baker and I'm a recruitment consultant at AVT Recruitment specialists.

大家好。我叫梅根·贝克,是AVT招聘专家的招聘顾问。

Now, our company specialises in positions that involve working in the agriculture and horticulture sectors, so that's fresh food production, garden and park maintenance and so on.

现在,我们公司专门招聘有关农业和园艺行业的工作,例如新鲜食品生产、花园和公园维护等。

And these sectors do provide some very special career opportunities.

这些行业确实提供了一些非常特殊的职业机会。

For a start, they often offer opportunities for those who don't want to be stuck with a 40-hour week, but need to juggle work with other responsibilities such as child care – and this is very important for many of our recruits.

首先,它们通常为那些不想一周工作40小时,但需要兼顾工作和照顾小孩等其他责任的人提供机会,这对我们的许多成员来说非常重要。

Some people like working in a rural setting, surrounded by plants and trees instead of buildings, although we can't guarantee that.

有些人喜欢在周围是植物和树木而不是建筑物的农村地区工作,但是我们不能保证这一点。

But there are certainly health benefits, especially in jobs where you're not sitting all day looking at a screen – a big plus for many people.

但这对健康肯定是有好处的,尤其一些工作不需要整天坐在电脑前,这对很多人来说是个很大的加分项。

Salaries can sometimes be good too, although there's a lot of variety here.

虽然薪资水平常有变化,但是有的时候还算丰厚。

And you may have the opportunity in some types of jobs for travel overseas, although that obviously depends on the job, and not everyone is keen to do it.

在某些工作中,你可能有机会去海外出差,但是很明显这取决于工作内容。而且也不是所有人都想要去国外。

Of course, working outdoors does have its challenges.

当然了,户外工作也有挑战之处。

It's fine in summer, but can be extremely unpleasant when it's cold and windy.

夏天天气很好,但是寒冷多风的时候会非常不舒服。

You may need to be pretty fit for some jobs, though with modern technology that's not as important as it once was.

虽然有了现代技术,身体素质的要求不像之前一样重要了,但是在某些岗位上,申请人的身体要特别健康。

And standards of health and safety are much higher now than they used to be, so there are fewer work-related accidents.

而且,和之前相比,健康和安全的标准都提高了很多,所以工作中的意外事故也就少了。

But if you like a lively city environment surrounded by lots of people, these jobs are probably not for you – they're often in pretty remote areas.

但是如果你喜欢一个充满活力,周围有很多人的城市环境,那么这些工作可能不适合你,因为它们通常在相当偏远的地区。

And some people worry about finding a suitable place to live, but in our experience, this usually turns out fine.

有些人为合适的住所担心,但根据我们的经验,住宿情况通常还好。

Now let me tell you about some of the exciting jobs that we have on our books right now.

现在让我介绍一些我们的工作信息簿中的令人兴奋的工作。

One is for a fresh food commercial manager.

一个岗位是新鲜食品商业经理。

Our client here is a very large fresh food producer supplying a range of top supermarkets.

我们的客户是一个非常大的新鲜食品生产商,为一系列顶级超市提供商品。

They operate in a very fast-paced environment with low profit margins – the staff there work hard, but they play hard as well, so if you've a sociable personality this may be for you.

公司工作节奏快,业务的利润率低。那里的员工努力工作,放肆玩乐。所以如果你爱好交际,这份工作也许会适合你。

We have an exciting post as an agronomist advising farmers on issues such as crop nutrition, protection against pests, and the latest legislation on farming and agricultural practices.

我们有一个令人兴奋的职位——农业专家,要为农民提供诸如作物营养、虫害防治以及最新的农业和农业实践立法等方面的建议。

There are good opportunities for the right person to quickly make their way up the career ladder, but a deep knowledge of the agricultural sector is expected of applicants.

对于合适的人来说,这个岗位提供珍贵的机会让他们很很快得到职位晋升,但申请人需要对农业领域有深入了解。

A leading supermarket is looking for a fresh produce buyer who is available for a 12-month maternity cover contract.

一家大型超市正在物色一位有空为去休产假的同事代班的采购员,这份合同的有效期是12个月。

You need to have experience in administration, planning and buying in the fresh produce industry, and in return will receive a very competitive salary.

申请人需要有和新鲜农产品产业相关的管理、规划和采购方面的经验。作为回报,你将获得极具竞争力的薪水。

We have also received a request for a sales manager for a chain of garden centres.

我们还收到一份请求,要求为连锁园艺中心招聘一名销售经理。

You will be visiting centres in the region to ensure their high levels of customer service are maintained.

申请人将访问该地区的园艺中心,确保中心能够保持高水平客户服务。

This post is only suitable for someone who is prepared to live in the region.

这个职位只适合那些准备在该地区生活的人。

There is also a vacancy for a tree technician to carry out tree cutting, forestry and conservation work.

还有一名树木技术员的空缺,需要开展树木采伐、林业和养护相关工作。

Candidates must have a clean driving licence and have training in safety procedures.

申请人需持有无违规纪录的驾驶执照并接受过安全程序培训。

A year's experience would be preferred but the company might be prepared to consider someone who has just completed an appropriate training course.

有一年工作经验者优先,但公司可能会考虑刚完成适当培训课程的人。

Finally, we have a position for a farm worker.

最后,我们还有一个农场工人的岗位。

This will involve a wide range of farm duties including crop sowing and harvesting, machine maintenance and animal care.

这将涉及广泛的农场工作,包括作物播种和收获、机器维护和动物护理。

Perks of the job include the possibility of renting a small cottage on the estate, and the chance to earn a competitive salary.

这份工作的额外福利包括农场可能会为你在当地租一间小木屋,以及有机会赚取有竞争力的薪水。

A driving licence and tractor driving experience are essential.

驾驶执照和拖拉机驾驶经验是必不可少的。
