Hunting for a Job
Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across CareerBuilder, a job database on the Internet. He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site’s "personal search agent. " It’s an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E -mails them when a matching position is posted in the database. Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property, and Washington, D. C. Three weeks later, he got his first notification of an opening. "I struck gold," says Redmon, who E - mailed his resume to the employer and won a position as in - house counsel for a company.
With thousands of career - related sites on the Internet, finding promising openings can be time -consuming and inefficient. Search agents reduce the need for repeated visits to the databases. But although a search agent worked for Redmon, career experts see drawbacks.
Narrowing your criteria, for example, may work against you: "Every time you answer a question you eliminate a possibility," says one expert.
For any job search, you should start with a narrow concept—what you think you want to do------then broaden it. "None of these programs do that," says another expert. "There’s no career counseling implicit in all of this. " Instead, the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database; when you get E - mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again. "I would not rely on agents for finding everything that is added to a database that might interest me," says the author of a job -searching guide.
Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. When CareerSite’s agent sends out messages to those who have signed up for its service, for example, it includes only three potential jobs—those it considers the best matches. There may be more matches in the database; job hunters will have to visit the site again to find them—and they do. "On the day after we send our messages, we see a sharp increase in our traffic," says Seth Peets, vice president of marketing for CareerSite.
Even those who aren’t hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile. Some use them to keep a close watch on the demand for their line of work or gather information on compensation to arm themselves when negotiating for a raise. Although happily employed, Redmon maintains his agent at CareerBuilder. "You always keep your eyes open," he says. Working with a personal search agent means having another set of eyes looking out for you.
How did Redmon find his job? ______
选项
A、By searching openings in a job database.
B、By posting a matching position in a database.
C、By using a special service of a database.
D、By E -mailing his resume to a database.
答案
C
解析
这道题要判断好是段落主旨题。这道题表面上好象考细节事实,实际考查考生把握第一段主旨大意的能力。文章第一段主要讲了雷德蒙通过网上找到工作的全过程,即在网上个人搜索代理这种特殊服务工具里选择关键词,然后发电子邮件,结果得到工作职位通知,随后给公司老板发简历,找到工作。因此这一段的主旨大义就是雷德蒙通过使用网上的个人搜索代理找到工作,C项是近义改写,是答案。第一段第二句提到他亲自上网搜索,但毫无结果(He searched it with no success…)所以A项与此句相矛盾,不是解。选择A项的考生就是没有找到这句话,因而没有判断依据,只凭大概意思和感觉印象,肯定出错。雷德蒙是应聘的人,而不是招聘人,不可能在网站上张贴发布工作职位信息,所以B项也不是解。选择B项的考生是没有读懂这个选项的意思。由第一段最后一句可知,雷德蒙将简历发给了雇主,而不是网上的数据库,因此D项也不是解。选择D项的考生是粗心大意,没有找出第一段最后一句和选项D项仔细对照(employer和database是两个概念)。
