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.
Before the interview, the applicant should obtain some information about______.
选项 A、most major corporations
B、the company he wants to work for
C、reference books and periodicals
D、business and philosophy
答案B
解析 本题是一道具体细节题。问在面试之前，申请人应该获得哪些方面的信息。利用查阅式阅读法，我们可以在文章的第二段中找到相关内容。这部分指出，申请人应该去尽可能多地获得公司背景信息，找到诸如总公司、地区子公司的所在地和公司的财务状况、发展规划以及公司的宗旨。而有关多数大公司的信息可以在参考书或期刊中找到。因此，本题的正确答案应是B“有关他想去工作的公司的情况”。
