1. What are your job prospects?
"prospects"这个词的意义很宽泛，可以理解成工作的前景、计划、期望、或者对未来工作的设想及展望等等。类似的问题还有What's your career plan?/What kind of job are you planning to take in the future?/What's is your favorite job?/What do you think of your future job?/Do you have any plan for the future job?等等。
Candidate 1: After graduation, I'm planning to find a job which can improve my abilities and support myself. Among the considerable choices, joining a foreign company is the best. That is my first step. Then I will change my job at a proper time. The second job must be a well-paid(高薪的), decent(体面的) one so that I can earn enough money. If everyone is going well, my final goal is to travel around the world and make contributions to our society by investing in hi-tech industry.
回答干脆利落，对未来工作的构想，提出的“三步走战略”步步为营，给人一种流畅的感觉。After graduation, Then和final goal分别提示了工作时间，起到很好的衔接作用。
Candidate 2: I've always had a dream of becoming a teacher. A doctor is allowed to usher(带来) life into the world in one magic moment. An architect knows that if he builds with care his structure may stand for centuries. A teacher is allowed to see that life is reborn each day with new questions, ideas and instructions, and he knows that if he builds with love and truth, what he builds will last forever. In my opinion, even if the names and faces have been forgotten but teachers' lessons and instructions will always be remembered by their students forever. Maybe several years later I'll stand in the front of a classroom giving lectures to my students. However, before that, I have to explore more effective teaching methods and I'm now looking forward to a revolution in the field of education which is launched(发动，发展) by myself.
开始的几个排比句列举了几个不同职业的特点，虽然用得很有气势，但是过于书面化，显得有些不自然。后面In my opinion话锋一转，把回答切换到现实中来，稍稍好些。
2. Is it easy for college students to get jobs? Why?
关于这个问题的答案，估计90%以上的应答者都是否定的。事过境迁，高校毕业生的就业形势确实每况愈下。应答的关键不是给出一个Y/N的答案，而是在于分析这一现象背后的原因，或者就这一现象提出解决方案。对于已经就业的应答者，这个问题可以结合自己的实际求职经历阐述。
Candidate 1: I think it is not easy for graduates to find jobs, especially a satisfactory job. What leads to such an unpleasant situation? It's a complex social problem. First of all, there are too many graduates but limited jobs for them. With the developement of China, there are more and more universities being built and the amount of graduates. Besides, the country needs more and more advanced workers. But the professional workers' training is inferior in China. Furthermore, many graduates' capabilities are not good enough. In many universities, too relaxing studies lead to the poor abilities of many students. No pains no gains. If one doesn't work hard to improve himself, perhaps in the future, he will hardly find a job.
本题的应答关键在于分析原因或解决问题。Candidate 1分析了高校毕业生就业难的原因，即岗位有限，毕业生自身能力欠缺等。
Candidate 2: As college students have a higher education, this phenomenon(现象) may sound strange in the eyes of most people. There are two reasons behind. One is that some college students can't come to terms with(妥协，适应) the world around. They often consider too many factors such as salary, working conditions, partnership(伙伴关系) and so on. So jobs which can fit them become fewer. Another reason is that the major students pursue(从事) don't match with the demands of the job, and the result is that they miss the opportunities.
Candidate 2从另外两个角度分析了高校毕业生就业难的原因——期望值过高和专业不符。希望给大家一点启发。
Candidate 3: In my opinion, college students should know themselves well and they should pay more attention to their practical abilities. Now, the society needs people with special technique. If college students can speak foreign languages well, or use the computer well, or even can drive a car, it will become easier for them to find jobs. In a word, in the unversity, students should learn as much as possible and improve their practical abilities(实际能力). Only by doing this can they have a better future.
与前两个侧重与分析问题的回答不同的是，Candidate 3侧重于解决问题。然而，仅仅提出一条“培养实际能力”略显单薄。
3. If you can't find a job soon after graduation, what will you do?
