Landing a Job of the Future Takes a Two-track Mind
A)If you’re gearing up for a job search now as an undergraduate or returning student, there are several bright spots where new jobs and promising career paths are expected to emerge in the next few years.
B)Technology, health care and education will continue to be hot job sectors, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ outlook for job growth between 2008 and 2018. But those and other fields will yield new opportunities, and even some tried-and-true fields will bring some new jobs that will combine a variety of skill sets.
C)The degrees employers say they’ll most look for include finance, engineering and computer science, says Andrea Koncz, employment-information manager at the National Association of Colleges and Employers. But to land the jobs that will see some of the most growth, job seekers will need to branch out and pick up secondary skills or combine hard science study with softer skills, career experts say, which many students already are doing. "Students are positioned well for future employment, particularly in specialized fields," Ms. Koncz says.
D)Career experts say the key to securing jobs in growing fields will be coupling an in-demand degree with expertise in emerging trends. For example, communications pros will have to master social media and the analytics that come with it; nursing students will have to learn about risk management and electronic records; and techies will need to keep up with the latest in Web marketing, user-experience design and other Web-related skills.
E)More than two million new technology-related jobs are expected to be created by 2018, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Jobs that are expected to grow faster than average include computer-network administrators, data-communications analysts and Web developers. Recruiters anticipate that data-loss prevention, information technology, online security and risk management will also show strong growth.
F)A computer science degree and a working knowledge of data security are critical to landing these jobs. Common areas of undergraduate study for these fields include some of the usual suspects, such as computer science, information science and management-information systems.
G)But those might not be enough. That’s because not all of those jobs will be purely techie in nature. David Foote, chief executive officer of IT research firm Foote Partners, advises current computer science students to couple their degrees with studies in marketing, accounting or finance. "Before, people widely believed that all you needed to have were deep, nerdy(落伍的)skills," Mr. Foote says. "But companies are looking for people with multiple skill sets who can move fluidly with marketing or operations."
H)Social media has opened the door to the growth of new kinds of jobs. As companies turn to sites like Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook to promote their brands, capture new customers and even post job openings, they will need to hire people skilled in harnessing these tools, Mr. Foote says. In most cases, these duties will be folded into a marketing position, although large companies such as Coca-Cola Co. are creating entire teams devoted exclusively to social media.
I)Students will have to study strategy to maximize relationships between third-party content providers and their company’s Web team. Other key skills will be search engine optimization to maximize Web traffic and marketing analytics to decipher(辨认)the company’s target demographic, says Donna Farrugia, executive director of Creative Group, a marketing and advertising staffing agency in Menlo Park, Calif.
J)Many universities and community colleges are offering certification programs focused on burgeoning(迅速发展的)sectors. For example, the University of California at Los Angeles’s(UCLA’s)extension program offers a certificate in information design. That program, like similar certificate studies at other schools, aims to give students an edge in Web site search optimization—a major attraction for Web-based companies who want to boost user traffic, says Cathy Sandeen, dean of UCLA’s extension program.
K)User-experience design—a sort of architecture for information that Web viewers see—is another emerging field. Jobs there include experience specialists and product designers at firms ranging from computer-game companies to e-commerce Web sites.
L)Ms. Sandeen says the school will offer a certificate program for user-experience design as well, at a cost of about $ 3 000 to $ 5 000. The program will run one to two years, depending on a student’s schedule, and will couple product design with consumer psychology and behavior. "Our students will learn to think like anthropologists(人类学家), evaluating how easy it is to utilize the products," she says.
M)Not surprisingly, green technology, including solar and wind energy and green construction, are also booming areas. Engineers who can mastermind high-voltage(高压的)electric grids, for example, will have a great advantage over other job applicants, says Greg Netland, who oversees recruiting for the US, Latin America and Canada for Sapphire Technologies, an IT staffing firm in Woburn, Mass. that is a division of Randstad. "Global sustainability will become more important to employers," Mr. Netland says. "It cuts costs, making experts in the field highly attractive to employers. "
N)Despite the slashing of positions seen in the financial sector during the economic crisis, recruiters also expect thousands of new jobs to be created in the compliance field, says Dawn Fay, district New York/New Jersey president of Robert Half International.
O)Ms. Fay counsels job seekers to look at the misdeeds of the past year or two to identify where new jobs will bloom in the financial sector. "It was a year of Ponzi schemes and banking meltdowns," she says. "Be strategic and position yourself as someone who can mitigate(减轻)those risks. "
Ms. Fay advises job seekers to study the errors of the past few years to find out where new jobs will yield in the financial field.
选项
答案
O
解析
同义转述题。定位句指出,Fay女士建议求职者研究过去一两年的错误行为,以便发现金融行业内新工作的滋生点。题干中的advises,study the errors,find out和yield分别是对定位句中的counsels,look at the misdeeds,identify和bloom的同义转述,故答案为O)。
