问题     If you’re finding it tough to land a job, try expanding your job-hunting plan to include the following strategies:
    Set your target. While you should always keep your options open to compromise, you should also be sure to target exactly what you want in a job. A specific job hunt will be more efficient than a random one.
    Schedule abundant interviews. Use every possible method to get interviews—answering ads, using search firms, contacting companies directly, surfing the Web, and networking. Even if a job is not perfect for you, every interview can make you learn from it.
    Follow up. Even if someone does not hire you, write them a thank-you note for the interview. Then, some weeks later, send another brief letter to explain that you still have not found the perfect position and that you will be available to interview again if the original position you applied for—or any other position, for that matter—is open. Do this with every position you interview for, and you may just catch a break.
    Make it your full-time job. You can’t find a job by looking infrequently. You have to make time for it. If you’re unemployed and looking for a job, devote as much time as you would to a full-time job. If you have a job while you’re looking, figure out an organized schedule to maximize your searching time.
    Network vertically (纵向地). In the research phase of your job hunt, talk to people who are on a level above you in your desired industry. They’ll have some insights that people at your own level won’t have, and will be in a good position to hire you or recommend you to be hired.
    Keep your spirits up. Looking for a job is one of the toughest things you will ever have to do. Maintain your confidence, stay persistent, and think positively, and eventually you will get a job that suits you.
3 When hunting a job, you’d better communicate with people on a level above you because ______.

选项 A、they will hire you soon
B、they will ask someone to hire you
C、you will benefit from their fame
D、you can learn from them

答案D

解析 推理判断题。本题考查复合句的理解。从倒数第2段第3句的定语从句可见,和高一层次的人物交谈,主要是因为他们具有你所不具备的insights,由此可推断出和他们交谈可以向他们学习,即选项D。选项A和B中因为有hire一词,因此看起来与原文有相似之处,但是选项A和B中的will表示的语气过于绝对,与原文中be in a good position(易于)不相符。
