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 Career Builder. "You always keep your eyes open, " he says. Working with a personal search agent means having another set of eyes looking out for you.
Why does CareerSite’s agent offer each job hunter only three job options? ______
选项
A、To focus on better job matches.
B、To attract more returning visits.
C、To reserve space for more messages.
D、To increase the rate of success.
答案
B
解析
本题的考点是隐含的因果关系常考。文章第四段第一句“Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return.”指出, 有些网站为了吸引回头客, 而想方设法设计搜索代理, 下文就以具体事实为例提到搜索代理只给求职者发三条工作职位信息。第一句是观点句, 下文是事实句, 事实为观点服务, 因此答案就在观点里, B项是近义改写, 因而是解。第四段第二句提到搜索代理会把它认为最好的三个工作职位信息发给求职者, 但并不是突出(focus)三个最好, 而是为了回头客, 所以A项与文意不符, 也不是解。C、D两项文中未提及, 因而都不是答案。
