Anyone who has searched for a job fresh out of college knows how difficult it is to get that first job. Sending out hundreds of resumes, only to get a few interviews in the end—if you’re lucky!— and if you’re very lucky, eventually there’s a job offer on the table. Should you grasp it, or wait for something better to come along the way?
It depends on whether you are a "maximizer" or a "satisficer". Maximizers want to explore every possible option before choosing a job. They gather every stick of information in the hope of making the best possible decision. If you are a satisficer, however, you make decisions based on the evidence at hand.
Simply put, satisficers are more likely to cut their job search short and take the first job offer. Maximizers are more likely to continue searching until a better job offer comes along. Which type of approach yields the better payoff? A maximizer. Specifically, quoting the results of a study of the job search of 548 members of the Class of 2002 by Sheena Iyengar, Rachael Wells, and Barry Schwartz, the maximizers put themselves through more
contortions
in the job hunt. They applied to twenty jobs, on average, while satisficers applied to only ten, and they were significantly more likely to make use of outside sources of information and support. But it turned out to be worth it: the job offers they got were significantly better, in terms of salary, than what the satisficers got.
Satisficers were offered jobs with an average starting salary of $37, 085; the average starting salary offered to maximizers was $44, 515, more than 20 percent higher. The trouble is, however, that higher pay doesn’t make maximizers a happier group than satisficers. In fact, maximizers were significantly more likely than satisficers to be unhappy with the offers they accepted.
Evidently, being a maximizer can help you earn more income, but that income doesn’t buy more happiness, as the maximizer’s likely to agonize over the prospect of a better job offer out there he or she missed. Maximizers may have objectively superior outcomes, but they’re so busy obsessing about all the things that they could have had, they tend to be less happy with the outcomes they do get.
Which might be the appropriate title of this passage?
选项
A、Higher Pay: Be Happier or Unhappy
B、First Offer: Take It or Keep Waiting
C、Sources of Information: Outside or at Hand
D、Position Yourself: A Maximizer or a Satisficer
答案
B
解析
主旨题。根据题干关键词需纵观全文,但文章第一段段末就指出了全文主旨,即“拿到了第一个工作录用通知单,是果断接受还是等待更好的机会呢”?之后的四段均是对该主旨的具体阐述,具体而全面。故B项“第一份工作来了:接受还是继续等待”为正确答案。A项“更高的薪水:让人更快乐还是不快乐”、C项“信息来源:外部还是手边”和D项“定位你自己:一个完美主义者还是一个易于满足者”均不符合文意,故排除。
