问题      There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns. It is some times placed among "situations vacant", although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among situations wanted, although it is not placed by someone looking for a job either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.
     Contact us before writing your application, or make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae or job history, is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae(or job history) ,with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right.
     There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.
     Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for, was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the job interview.
     There is no doubt, however, that it is the increasing number of applicants with university education at ail points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the great importance of the curriculum vitae.
The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspaper columns ______.
选项 A、promises useful advice to those looking for employment
B、divides available jobs into various types
C、informs employers that people are available for their job vacancies
D、informs job hunters of the job vacancies
答案A
解析 文章第三段第二句和最后一句说，虽然它(“it refers to this new type of advertisement)不能给别人提供工作，却能蛤应聘者蝇供帮助(offer help in apply for a job)，从文中的内容可以看出，它所提供的帮助正是给应聘者一些有益的建议，这和A项的内容相符。同时也排除了C、D两项；D项的内容文中没有提到。
