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.
Which of the following can be a disadvantage of search agents? ______
选项
A、Lack of counseling.
B、Limited number of visits.
C、Lower efficiency.
D、Fewer successful matches.
答案
A
解析
本题的考点是转折处常考。文章第二段第三句出现了But转折处,“But although a search agent worked for Redmon,career experts see drawbacks,”指出尽管个人搜索代理管用,专家们还是看到缺点,第三段“There’s no career counseling implicit in all of us.”指出个人搜索代理的一个缺限是求职者得不到任何咨询信息,它只是机械地寻找与关键词相匹配的工作职位,然后给上网求职者发电子邮件,A项(缺少咨询信息)是近义改写,是答案。文章并没有提到个人搜索代理的访问次数,因而B项是文中未提及,不是解。第二段第一、二句提到的求职者如果自己上网找工作会非常耗时而且效率低,而个人搜索代理可使求职者不必经常上网查询,言外之意,是说个人搜索代理还是有效率的,因此C项与文意相反,不是解。文章在第三段提到搜索代理只提供三个职位,但是网站有意设计的,因而匹配工作职位少是针对34题的,第二段最后一句作者引用专家的话谈到,因为是选择关键词,所以搜索代理是帮求职者找关键词指示范围的工作职位,因而也就失去了尝试其它种类工作的机会,并不是说与求职者要求相匹配的工作职位少,综合这两处,D项与文意不符,因而也不是解。选择D项的考生是没有将文章这两处搞明白,因而选错。
