G.课文参考译文
公共关系
美国的缔造者们撰定《独立宣言》之时就指出，要“体面尊重”各地人民的意见，那时宣布独立的州一定要让全世界都知道，他们为个么要把自己从英国的桎梏中解放出来。那时，美国的领导者相信，只能因赢得各国人民的信任，事业才能成功。
同样，公关工作也要设法赢行人们的信任和好感。没有关注人们对它的看法的话，任何公司、政府部门、学校、医院或其他单位都不能兴旺发达。公关工作就是向企业或其他组织提供信息，使自己的行为可能给公众舆论造成怎样的影响—或公众舆论对其行为可能产生怎样的影响。公关人员的职责还需将公司的活动、计划或想法告诉公众。这点之所以必要，是因为人们对一个公司有所了解才会对它更为信任。
假如一个公司想要生存和发展，必须考虑的不只是一个大范围内公众的意见。只有像国家机关，这些少数机构如此庞大，全体公众才会对它们的行为形成一定看法。大多数公司和机构得考虑较小群体的意见—比如，它们的主顾、员工或投股人的意见。一个公司还必须得到它的工厂和办事处民在地的左邻右舍的信任和好感。它还得与政府友好相处，国为每个企业都会受到政府法令和法规的极大影响。
要使别人相信自己，首先要考虑他人的信仰、利益和感情。公关工作以尊重他人的权利和信仰为出发点来计划自己的行动。如果公关计划没有考虑到这些方面，该计划对公司不会有帮助。如果一个公司实际上对他人满不在乎的话，哪怕世界上再多的钱，再有能耐的作家或演说家都无法使这家公司建立起关心他人的形象。因此，大多数公司都会考虑采取任何一个行动时将会对公众的看法有什么影响，比如迁新址或收购另一个企业。公司一旦做出决定，就要让每一个人都了解这一决定和做出这一决定的理由。
大多数的公司都有公关部，它将公司计划和活动告诉公众。这一部门是由作家、编辑、摄影和绘画专家以及研究人员组成。
向外公布公司的活动和特色有许多办法。其中一个非常有效的办法就是通过公司的高级职员在当地的商会和各种俱乐部等机构中发表演讲。这些演讲通常在报纸上报导，并常常印发给政府官员、教育行政官员、记者和其他一些对公司观点感兴趣的人。各种印刷的小册子，包括公司的杂志和发给投股人的年度管理报告，也有助于让公众知道有关公司的信息。电影常用来向人们展示公司的一些情况。一个公司也可能承担一些与其业务没有直接关系的项目，作为对公众的服务，以便更好地造福于社会。
许多公司除了使用自己的公关人员外，还雇用独立的公关公司，这种公司同时为多个客户服务。由于当局者迷，本公司的人可能忽视某些动向和问题，而受过专门训练的独立公关公司的人员却常常能看到。
任何一个有意从事公关工作的人应该尽可能接受广泛的教育。除了大学教育，若能有在某传媒领域的工作经历，如电台或报社，那对未来的公关工作是大有帮助的。

面 试
假设你的求职信已被有望聘用你的雇主收到，并请你到办公室面试，你将如何准备在面试中表现一番呢？以下建议将能帮你完成求职时十分重要的第一步。
首先，一旦你得知已经安排面试，就要尽力做好准备。列出你有机会想问的一切要点。备上所有的证书和其他有关文件，开一分清单，列出你所通过的考试（标明课程和学分），所有上过的学校，从事的运动和在校时担任的一切职务。如果你以前有过职业，也要详细地列出来，并说明离职的原因。也许你已提供了详细的材料，但也要随身带一份副本，以备万一对方向你索要。这显示你的办事效率。
其次，尽量弄清楚可能聘用你的雇主的情况，公司的业务范围，地址和开业的时间。同时，了解公共汽车和渡船时间，这样你才有把握准时到达。实际上，如果可能的话，还是早一点为好。谁也不想雇用一个总是迟到的职员！
第三，要格外注意你的仪表。头发整齐吗？衣服是否烫过？衣服干净吗？鞋子擦过吗？这样，价钱准备就绪，按时到办公室，等着叫你去面试。如果感到有点紧张，就做一做深呼吸。再读一遍你的简历，以便清晰地印在脑海里。
当面试者或秘书请你进去时，你的仪表和举止要得体。没叫你坐，不可以就坐。并且，要坐直，别懒洋洋地靠在椅子上。要放松，面带微笑。
面试者开始会问有关你自己的事，你的简历，甚至可能会问到你对未来的希望。回答问题要简单、直接、诚实。如果你感到这位面试者在重复一些事或部及一些与目前无关的问题，别表现出不耐烦。也许，面试者只是想知道你是否有自己的观点，或者你能否合情合理、有条不紊地表达。回答问题时，眼睛要直视对方。如果被问及你的家庭或学校，说话时要表露出忠诚和爱心。称呼对方为“先生”或“女士”，或直呼其名—如果人家要你这样称呼的话。没有叫你拿出证书和其他文件就别出示。如果你曾经考试不及格，或以前有过一份工作，
别怕谈论这件事。如果问你希望得到多少薪水，要按广告上的数字提出来。
如果你觉得面试快要结束，就得准备提你的问题了。面试者可能会问你是否有什么问题，但是没有问你的话，就要等待合适的时机。面试者有权了角你能否做好这份工作的能力，你同样有权关心自己未来的工作。切勿不合时宜地强调有关假期、休假、午餐休息、运动设施等到问题。首先要询问有关晋升的前景，今后发展所需参加的其他考试等等。
面谈结束时要起立，与面试者道别，然后离去。
