谈起面试，大家首先想到的场景肯定是正儿八经地坐在面试官前，准备迎接各种刁钻古怪的问题，最后就是焦急地等待着面试结果，无论是否有幸拿到offer，我们都在面试中获益良多。然而现如今，职场上又多了个“辞职面试”的新词，是指公司对即将离职的员工进行的面试。这种面试通常会采取书面表格、电话、会面或者网络的方式进行。有些公司会选择请第三方来进行辞职面试，然后提供反馈信息。“辞职面试”的目的多在于了解员工辞职的原因，以改善公司的工作环境，留住员工。

Ricardo： Good afternoon， Eleanor！

Eleanor： Oh， hey Ricardo. Did you have a good morning？ Ricardo： ①Yeah， but doing those interviews really takes it out of me.

Eleanor： Ah， I was wondering where you disappeared to this morning. What kind of interviews？

Ricardo： Exit interviews. We just lost a guy from the purchasing department.

Eleanor： Exit interviews？ What are they， exactly？

Ricardo： Really， Ellie？ Youve never heard of them before？ Eleanor： ②Hey， cut me some slack， Rick！ I am new to the business， after all.

Ricardo： ③Fair enough. Well， an exit interview is an interview with someone who is leaving the company.

Eleanor： Kind of like a job interview， only 1）backwards？

Ricardo： I guess you could think of it like that.

Eleanor： Ive gotta say， though， Im not really sure what the point is. When I left my last company， they said， “Dont let the door hit you on your way out！”

里卡多：下午好，埃莉诺！

埃莉诺：噢，嘿，里卡多。你今早可好？里卡多：嗯，但是负责那些面试真的让我筋疲力尽。

埃莉诺：啊，我正纳闷你今早去哪儿了呢。你负责什么样的面试呢？

里卡多：“辞职面试”。采购部有一位同事辞职了。

埃莉诺：“辞职面试”？那到底是什么？里卡多：不会吧，埃莉诺？你从来没听说过吗？

埃莉诺：嘿，放过我吧，里卡多！在这行我毕竟是新手。

里卡多：有道理。“辞职面试”就是面试那些准备辞职的员工。

埃莉诺：有点像求职面试，但是却是在不想干的时候进行的？

里卡多：我想你可以这样认为。

埃莉诺：虽然不太明白，但是我还是得说，在我离开上一家公司时，他们对我说：“好走不送！”

Ricardo： Haha， yeah， a lot of companies think about it that way. But really， exit interviews are an important tool for keeping a healthy company.

Eleanor： How could that be？ What good is it to know what people are thinking after theyve already left the company？

Ricardo： Actually， a lot of employees wont tell you the truth about their feelings until they leave the company. Maybe theyre afraid about their boss getting angry， or their coworkers finding out. ④But when someone is leaving the company， they can speak their mind freely.

Eleanor： Hey， thats true. ⑤If I didnt have to come back here tomorrow， I could tell you a thing or two about my supervisor. Why， just yesterday， he…

Ricardo： Whoa， whoa， hold on， Ellie. ⑥If youve got something to say about your supervisor， save it for the proper channels.

Eleanor： Yeah， youre right. But anyway， I can see your point. Hey， why did that guy from purchasing decide to leave， anyway？ I hear the purchasing department pays pretty well.
