   In order to get a job out of college these days, new grads should be overachievers with internships and other real-life business experience, and they should expect to have to go above and beyond the typical job search. Based on our findings, here are some ways to build your resume and position yourself to create the best odds of getting a job offer:
   【K1】______
   Sure, technical skills and experience are great. But in the study, we found that when hiring for entry-level positions, almost all employers view communication and teamwork skills, as well as having a positive attitude, as being important or very important. These skills demonstrate how well an applicant will fit into the corporate culture, and give an indication of how long a new hire will stay at the company. The best way to develop such skills is to become more self-aware, and to get feedback on how you come across from the people you trust who work in your desired field. Also, actively put yourself in situations where you ’ re communicating with others inperson. Interacting online isn’ t enough.
   【K2】______
   A lot of students and young professionals think that social networking via Facebook, LinkedIn, and the like is the best route to finding a job. Yet our research reveals that only 16% of employers recruit on social networks all or most of the time. Nearly half(48%) , meanwhile, utilize job boards, and 44% use employee referrals. My advice is to use all of the above in your job search—social networks, job boards, career fairs, your personal and professional network, and every other option under the sun. What works for you might not work for someone else, and vice versa. Ask family and friends for referrals too, and don’ t feel embarrassed about it.
   【K3】______
   If you want to be more positive during interviews, the best approach is to only apply to jobs you’ re really excited about. Use this approach and you will exude a positive, if possibly nervous, energy during interviews, showing you care. And if this is something you care about, you’ll be more prepared for the interview, which will boost your chances. If, on the other hand, you’ re just applying to a job because it’ll pay the bills, you probably won’t get it.
   【K4】______
   42% of employers say they are turned off by how unprepared students are in interviews. At the very least, do some research on the company at its website. It’ s wise to take things a step further, though, and review the hiring manager’ s profile on Linkedln. By learning about their work history, you will be able to better connect with them during the interview. You should also search the company ’ s name at Google News to get up to speed with recent announcements and industry trends. Doing your homework will show you care, and the employer will be impressed.
   【K5】______
   The workplace is constantly changing, as are the needs of corporations. That’ s why it’ s important now, more than ever before, to spread yourself out and get as many internships and experiences under your belt as humanly possible. Try to get a range of different experiences as well. Diversifying will increase your chances of success in at least one line of work. In the stock market, if you only invest in one stock and it doesn’ t do well, then you’ re broke. Similarly, it’ s unwise to only have one internship or only pursue one narrow career field.
   [A]Have an entrepreneurial mindset
   [B] Get your eggs out of any one basket
   [C] Prepare yourself before interviews
   [D] Search using every resource possible
   [E] Develop your" soft skills"
   [F] Focus on the jobs you’ re most passionate about
   [G] Get internships and experiences as early as possible
【K1】
选项
答案E
解析 本段第一、二句首先指出，专业技能以及经验固然重要，但对于职场新人来说，沟通技能以及团队协作技能也很重要。接着第三句说明了这些技能之所以重要的原因，最后三句介绍了培养这些技能的途径。由此可见，本段围绕培养沟通以及团队协作等技能展开论述，而这些技能就是所谓的“软技能”。首句的technical skills(专业技能)与选项E中的soft skills相对应。并且第二句中提到的communication、teamwork skills、a positive attitude等都属于soft skills，同时，第三、四句提到的these skills、such skills都是回指上文提到的沟通及团队协作等软技能。因此，选项E是正确选项。
