Why does the man go to the career center?
Listen to a conversation between a student (S) and an advisor (A) at a university career center.
S: I’m Brian Jefferson. I spoke to you over the phone.
A: Yes, I remember you. Have you brought in your resume?
S: Yeah. I’ve got the basics down on paper, but I just think it needs polishing.
A: Well, let’s have a close look at your resume together today. We’ll talk about what works and what could be improved.
S: Sounds great!
A: But I’d suggest you also attend a resume-writing workshop. It covers not only your resume, but also writing cover letters to potential employers. I can reserve a spot for you in an upcoming one if you want. We have spots open for this Friday morning actually.
S: Thanks, I’d like to do that, too. I’d like to inquire about job interview training. Do you also offer workshops on this?
A: We sure do. Students tell me they’re really helpful. lt provides an opportunity to know what to expect. It’s when students don’t know that gets them most worried, you know?
S: Ok, I’d like to sign up for both then.
A: Sure, and for our records, what field are you studying?
S: Graphic design.
A: And when will you graduate?
S: This semester’s my last one. I need to start interviewing for jobs right away. I’m a little behind schedule.
A: Great. Well, you might like to know that we have new job opportunities all the time and actually there is a position open for a graphic designer in Ashlington.
S: Wow! That’s close to our campus.
A: It’s only a short-term opportunity, but if you got the job and were successful at it, it could turn into long-term one. You never know. There’s also an internship for graphic designers that you could apply for. It lasts all summer. It’s over in Blue Harbor.
S: Is it a paid internship?
A: Yes. The salary’s about the same as the position in Ashlington.
S: Ok, I should apply to both then.
A: Those are the only two opportunities I know about for graphic designers right now, but like I said, we get new announcements in all the time, so you should keep checking back. We post new opportunities daily on the career center Web site.
S: Oh, I didn’t know about that. Ok, I’ll check it online every day then.
A: And, well, if you’re going to be applying for jobs… now for graphic design it’s customary to include some samples of your work.
S: Yea, photographs of pieces for my portfolio...
A: Mhm... and you submit them electronically along with a resume itself. Most company websites make provision for that, instructions on how to send the photos, what format and so on.
S: Yea, we covered some of that in one of my classes, Someone said I should get my work professionally photographed though, but that’s really expensive.
A: Well, some people do, but really the images just need to be clear. Employers will know that you’re a student. If they want to see your art in closer detail, chances are they’ll call you in for an interview. Ok, now we should take a look at your resume.

选项 A、To get help preparing for a job search
B、To learn more about an internship opportunity
C、To provide feedback on a workshop he recently attended
D、To submit his resume for a job in the career center

答案A

解析 目的主旨题。线索词为学生所说:I’ve got the basics down on paper, but I just think it needs polishing.以及指导老师所说:let’s have a close look at your resume together today.We’ll talk about what works and what could be improved.在本篇对话中,学生特来请教老师帮助修改个人简历。这与A选项的说法同义,即在准备求职方面寻求老师帮助。B选项错误,因为internship(实习)不是学生提出的内容,而是指导教师在后续内容中提出的。C选项错误,因为学生尚未参加workshop(研讨会),无法提供课程反馈。D选项错误,因为学生不是应聘就业指导中心的工作。而且,学生不是来提交简历,而是来改进简历。
