问题     In China, modesty is often regarded as a traditional virtue. But sometimes, especially in job-hunting, it is really not necessary to be always modest. Why being modest is not always an advantage in job-hunting? What should we do in job-hunting to avoid being too modest? Choose one or two aspects to talk about.
    Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:
    Being Modest Is Not Always an Advantage in Job-hunting
选项
答案 Being Modest Is Not Always an Advantage in Job-hunting Modesty has always been considered as a highly-valued attribute in our society. Accordingly, lots of people are accustomed to being modest in job-hunting. However, in my opinion, being modest in job-hunting is not always going to serve you well. The following are several reasons that can support my view. Firstly, being too modest about your abilities might mislead the interviewers to believe that you are not so qualified for the job since they are seeking employees who have expertise in their field and the potential to help the company develop. Besides, downplaying your skills in a self-deprecating manner can sometimes only show your lack of confidence. Most companies tend to choose those who can speak out confidently their strong points, which set one apart from other candidates. Lastly, in a highly competitive job-hunting situation, being too modest won’t help employers to know you well, and can only result in missing the opportunity to promote yourself, failing to show that you’re in command of professional skills and are ready to put them into use in the job. In a word, job market is no place for displaying overmuch modesty. Above all, we should be modest sometimes, which can help us leave a good impression on other people. However, we don’t have to be always modest in job-hunting. We should assess ourselves correctly and make sure everybody concerned is aware of our accomplishments and professional strengths, which can really help us succeed in job-hunting.
解析     本题是一个给定观点型题目。题目把求职中不应一味谦虚作为话题，要求考生分析为什么在求职中不应一味谦虚，以及怎样在求职中表现恰当等问题。考生可选取其中的一个或两个问题展开分析，提出自己的观点，然后进行论证。
    思路1：为什么谦虚并不一定有利于求职。
    求职者在应聘时，过度谦虚可能会成为求职失败的主要原因。可以从以下几个方面来分析：首先，求职者过度谦虚，无法真正展示自己的能力，导致用人单位对其不够信任，对其能否胜任职位工作产生怀疑；其次，过度谦虚在他人眼里会被解读为不自信、甚至自卑；最后，面试竞争激烈，通常多人竞争一个职位，若不突显自己，易被埋没在众多求职者中，无法给他人留下深刻印象。
    思路2：如何在求职中表现恰当，避免过度谦虚。
    首先，谦虚不是自我否定，而是实事求是、恰如其分地表现自己。过于谦虚、客气，会被认为能力不够；其次，求职者要有足够的自信展示自我、推销自我，表现自己能够胜任所应聘的职位，从而取得信任，实现自己的求职就业愿望。
    范文选取了思路1．从三方面阐述谦虚并不一定有利于求职的原因。
