지문

Man: Come in, Sarah. Have a seat. Thanks for coming in today.
Woman: Thank you for having me. I'm very interested in the Marketing Associate position.
Man: Great. So, I've reviewed your resume, and it looks quite impressive. Your experience at Global Corp seems particularly relevant.
Woman: Yes, I worked there for three years, focusing on digital campaigns and market analysis. I believe my skills align well with your requirements.
Man: That’s good to hear. We’re looking for someone who can really drive engagement. Now, before we dive deeper, do you have any questions for me about the role or the company?
Woman: Actually, yes. I was wondering about the typical workload. For instance, how are responsibilities usually delegated, especially concerning administrative tasks like processing expense reports or even tracking utility bill payments for the office?
Man: That’s a practical question. Expense reports are submitted bi-weekly through our online portal. As for the utility bills, the office manager handles that directly, but we do expect all associates to be mindful of resource usage. Is that something you have experience with?
Woman: I haven't directly managed utility payments, but I’m very organized and detail-oriented. I'm confident I could handle such responsibilities efficiently if needed. My main focus, however, would be on marketing initiatives.
Man: Understood. Let's talk more about your campaign ideas then...

해설

📖 지문해석 — 남자가 사원에게 면접을 진행하는 내용입니다. 남자는 여성 지원자의 지원서에 깊은 인상을 받았으며, 특히 글로벌 법인에서의 경험이 관련성이 높다고 언급합니다. 여성은 3년간 디지털 캠페인과 시장 분석에 집중했던 경험을 설명하며 자신의 기술이 요구 사항과 잘 맞는다고 확신합니다.
📝 정답이유 — 남자는 "We’re looking for someone who can really drive engagement."라고 말하며, 이는 '고객 참여를 실제로 이끌어낼 수 있는 사람'을 찾고 있음을 의미합니다. 이는 선택지 3번 "Someone who can significantly increase customer interaction." (고객 상호작용을 상당히 늘릴 수 있는 사람)과 정확히 일치합니다. 'drive engagement'는 'interaction'을 늘리는 것을 함축적으로 나타냅니다.
💡 실전팁 — Part 3/4에서는 화자가 '찾고 있는 사람/것', '제안하는 방법', '다음 단계' 등을 명시적으로 언급하는 부분을 주의 깊게 들어야 합니다. 'X is looking for Y', 'I suggest Z', 'Next, we will...'과 같은 표현에 집중하세요.
📊 오답분석 — X) Someone with direct experience managing utility bills. — 지문에서 공과금 청구서 관리에 대한 언급은 전혀 없습니다. X) A candidate who is detail-oriented and organized. — 이러한 자질은 일반적으로 중요하지만, 남자가 가장 중요하게 언급한 내용은 아닙니다. X) An applicant with a background in office administration. — 남자는 마케팅 직무에 대한 경험을 언급했으며, 사무 행정 경력에 대한 언급은 없습니다.
