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 CareerBuilder. "You always keep your eyes open," he says. Working with a personal search agent means having another set of eyes looking out for you.
The expression "tip service" (Paragraph 3) most probably means______.
选项
A、advisory
B、compensation
C、interaction
D、reminder
答案
D
解析
本题是词义题,有较大难度。这个词组的含义需要从其上下文来推断。文章第三段一开头谈到个人搜索代理的缺点是没法提供咨询信息,接着话锋一转“Instead,the best strategy is t0 use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular data—base;when you get E—mail,consider it a reminder to check the database again.”谈到既然搜索代理有缺点,那么应该怎样使用的问题。这个长句中间有一分号隔开,从语义结构上看,第二个分句是对前一句的近义转述,而第一个分句里的the agent就是第二个分句里的it,通过语法分析,可将consider it a reminder。转化为use it as a reminder,这样,reminder就应等同于tip service;答案也就出来了,答案是D项。
