Anyone who has searched for a job fresh out of college knows how difficult it is to get that first job. Sending out hundreds of resumes, only to get a few interviews in the end—if you’re lucky!— and if you’re very lucky, eventually there’s a job offer on the table. Should you grasp it, or wait for something better to come along the way?
It depends on whether you are a "maximizer" or a "satisficer". Maximizers want to explore every possible option before choosing a job. They gather every stick of information in the hope of making the best possible decision. If you are a satisficer, however, you make decisions based on the evidence at hand.
Simply put, satisficers are more likely to cut their job search short and take the first job offer. Maximizers are more likely to continue searching until a better job offer comes along. Which type of approach yields the better payoff? A maximizer. Specifically, quoting the results of a study of the job search of 548 members of the Class of 2002 by Sheena Iyengar, Rachael Wells, and Barry Schwartz, the maximizers put themselves through more
contortions
in the job hunt. They applied to twenty jobs, on average, while satisficers applied to only ten, and they were significantly more likely to make use of outside sources of information and support. But it turned out to be worth it: the job offers they got were significantly better, in terms of salary, than what the satisficers got.
Satisficers were offered jobs with an average starting salary of $37, 085; the average starting salary offered to maximizers was $44, 515, more than 20 percent higher. The trouble is, however, that higher pay doesn’t make maximizers a happier group than satisficers. In fact, maximizers were significantly more likely than satisficers to be unhappy with the offers they accepted.
Evidently, being a maximizer can help you earn more income, but that income doesn’t buy more happiness, as the maximizer’s likely to agonize over the prospect of a better job offer out there he or she missed. Maximizers may have objectively superior outcomes, but they’re so busy obsessing about all the things that they could have had, they tend to be less happy with the outcomes they do get.
What is implied in the first two paragraphs?
选项
A、Graduates aren’t well-prepared for jobs when freshing out of colleges.
B、Anyone who is very lucky can get a job earlier than those unlucky.
C、Satisficers tend to take the first job offer on the table.
D、Satisficers wait for something better based on information at hand.
答案
C
解析
根据题干关键词定位到第一、二段。第一段结尾提到“拿到了第一个工作offer,是果断接受还是等待更好的机会”,第二段开头给出了解答的依据,即“取决于你是‘完美主义者’还是‘易于满足者’”。同时,从第二段文中信息可知,“易于满足者”选工作时会比较果断,所以,他更趋向于接受找到的第一份工作。A项属于过度推断,原文未提及。第一段提到的是“运气好的话,可以得到几个面试机会”,与“更早”无关,故B项错误。D项推断错误,wait for something better是“易于满足者”的行为。
