搜狐出国主持人：现在正好是7月份，也是中国的就业季，今年被媒体称为“史上最难就业季”，雷蒙校长觉得什么样的大学教育才能够提高学生的就业竞争力，而且在这样一个环境下，他们要怎样保持一个乐观的心态？
SOHU Hostess’s Question for Jeffrey Lehman: Currently it’s July which is a job-hunting season for the university graduates in China. The media has considered this year as “the most difficult job-hunting year in the history”. In your opinion, what kind of university education can make the students become more competitive in the job-hunting process? And in such a competitive environment, how can they remain an optimistic heart?
Jeffrey. Lehman（上海纽约大学常务副校长）：我不能保证这本书对同学们找工作能够增加多少竞争力。但是我从心底深处认为对于一个刚从校园走向社会就业市场的大学毕业生而言，要向雇佣单位证明自己立即就能做出一番贡献真的很困难并富有挑战性。我觉得为了向潜在的雇佣单位证明自己能在职场中成为一名优秀员工，毕业生不仅需要展现出其具备胜任工作的技能，并且需要展现出自己良好的精神状态，包括拥有好奇心、待人宽容、渴望学习新事物等。如果一个学生能同时展现出自己在某一专业领域的深度和自己能随着时间而做出相应变化的宽度，那么这个学生看起来会更加具有吸引力。
Jeffrey Sean Lehman（Vice Chancellor of NYU Shanghai）：Well, I cannot promise that the book will be helpful in the job-hunting process. But I do think truthfully that it is a difficult time and it’s a challenging time for the college students as they go out into the job market and to present themselves to potential employers as someone who can make contribution right away. And I think in order to persuade an employer that you have what takes to be a good worker in an employing environment，you need to show that you have a skill that you have something which can make you do well, and that you have a spirit about you, you have curiosity, you have a generosity to other people, you have an eagerness to learn. And if you show both that kind of depth in one area and the kind of breadth that means that you will be able to change with the times as you get responsibilities, then you start to look more attractive to a potential employer.

Our students will study in Shanghai for three years and will study outside Shanghai and outside China for another year probably in New York and somewhere else in the world also will be possible. They will be able to move comfortably throughout the entire world in a way that no student from other university can do.
