问题     In some ways the employment interview is like a persuasive speech because the applicant (interviewee) seeks to persuade the employer (interviewer) to employ him or her. Several suggestions might prove helpful to the applicant as preparation is made for the actual interview.
    A job applicant has the responsibility for ascertaining certain types of information prior to the interview. First, the applicant should know what kind of job he wants and how that job relates to his career objective. It is important that the applicant be able to state his reasons for wishing to work for a particular company. Second, the applicant should seek as much information as possible concerning the company. Relevant information for the applicant to locate includes such items as the location of the home and regional offices, the financial status of the company, plans for expansion, and company philosophy. Information about most major corporations is available in reference books and periodicals.
    After gathering information concerning the company, the applicant is ready for the interview. The interviewer’s first impression comes from the interviewee’s appearance. For most interviews, appropriate dress for man is a conservative (保守的) dark colored suit with a long sleeve white or light blue shirt and conservative tie. For women a conservative, tailored suit or dress is appropriate. Both men and women should have neat, conservative length hair.
    Although hairstyle and dress are matters of personal taste, many personnel directors form initial impressions from these characteristics. For example, one recent college graduate, who felt himself qualified, interviewed for a public relations job. However, the personnel manager considered this young man’s long hair, sloppy dress, and overly casual manner unsuited for this particular position.
For whom is the passage most likely written?
选项 A、An employee.
B、An employer.
C、An interviewee.
D、An interviewer.
答案C
解析 本题问本文最可能是为什么人写的。利用浏览式阅读法通读全文，我们知道本文主要是介绍如何求职面试的问题。根据文章第一句，这里的interviewee即指“申请工作者”。本文旨在为参加面试的工作申请人提供几条有用的建议。第二段建议应试者先着手了解公司的背景信息，第三、四段提醒应试者应从哪几方面给面试官留下一个良好的第一印象。因此，本题的正确答案应是C“接受面试者”。
