The following question was posed by Puget Sound Community School’s Steve Miranda in late August: Should resumes replace school transcripts? It’s a good question, but ultimately the wrong one. We should be asking: What yet-to-be-seen innovation will replace both transcripts and traditional resumes? In a world where jobs and school experiences are becoming less uniform, it makes more sense to find alternative ways to showcase your talents and achievements.
The Internet has changed how we do this. We are no longer limited to telling our stories on sheets of paper—we can use digital portfolios to display our work, which are already starting to replace resumes in the creative and technical professions.
But the problem with such sites is that they serve a niche market of people who can make do without these resources. If you’re both technical and creative, why have a profile on someone else’s site if you can further showcase your talents by creating an independent portfolio of your own?
The most creative and technical among us buy their own domain names and design personal websites that function as portfolios. However, not everyone has the time, money or expertise to do that.
Zerply allows anyone to create portfolios designed using resources by world-class designers. Proven. com takes a skills-based approach to revolutionizing resumes, providing skill verification. From chef to lawyer, Proven certifies your skills before passing your resume to employers. This is great from the perspective of the employer, but it still puts you, the employee, on a very narrow track. Although Linkedln passed 100 million users this year, had a successful initial public offering, and has terabytes upon terabytes of data about users’ work experience, innovation at the company is stagnant, turning your data into a traditional resume. Companies that have terabytes of user data but have not incorporated resume—and portfolio—building into their platform could easily enter the online resume market.
With that in mind, perhaps your personal brand, as cultivated on Facebook and Twitter, makes up a larger piece of the solution than we imagine. What if Facebook enabled your social graph to find you jobs and provide professional social networking? TopProspect, an application built on Facebook, does the former, and BranchOut does the latter. Although neither has gained significant traction, the market opportunity, given the level of Facebook users’ engagement, seems huge.
Your school transcript—particularly if it is from an elite institution—may get your foot in the door, but simply getting a degree isn’t enough. Part of the problem is rampant grade inflation. In 1960, 15 percent of all grades were A’s: today, 43 percent are. Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean we’re getting smarter. Rather, it means that, whether or not you go to college, you must go above and beyond to prove yourself once you graduate.
Which of the following serves as the best title of the passage?
选项
A、Traditional Resumes Are Dying
B、The Large Variety of Resume
C、Confronted with Grade Inflation
D、Learning to Showcase Yourself
答案
A
解析
主旨题。作者紧紧围绕人们在求职过程中应该采取什么方式展示自己展开讨论,指出纸质简历和学校成绩单逐渐过时,而在线平台正在为人们所采用。尽管还存在一定局限,但鉴于在线网站的多样化,人们总能借助这个平台,以各种不同的方式多角度地展示自我。可见,在作者看来,在线简历的兴起和传统简历的淡出都是不可逆转的趋势,故[A]为答案。作者并没有对各种不同简历的样式展开评述,因此[B]“各式各样的简历”不符合文意,排除;而如果以[C]“面临学历贬值问题”为标题,文章应该讲述的是学历贬值的现象、原因以及解决方法等,而这显然不符合文意,故排除;同理,[D]“学习全面展现自我”,也不符合全文主旨,故排除。
