CVs from Around the World
Did you know that your CV(known as a "resume")needs to be a-dapted depending on where in the world you are looking for a job? The Germans, French, Americans and Italians all look for different things, although we are living in a global village. Small cultural differences still apply. And although Britain is part of Europe, it takes its business philosophy from America—the "can do" approach which does not always go down well with other European countries.
【B1】______It makes European employers have a rather low opinion of people applying from the UK. So, if you do have language skills, these should be highlighted in your CV, along with any foreign travel or cultural experiences. A CV should show that you are open to new cultures and ideas, so a summer job of picking grapes in France, or a voluntary post helping sick children in another part of the world, should be highlighted.
【B2】______In France, companies expect you to supply a handwritten cover letter, as they are very keen on obtaining information from the way in which people write. You will be expected to list personal interests, as well as any languages you speak, and provide them with a photograph.
【B3】______However, they do demand that your CV is presented in a binder(活页来), together with copies of all your education certificates and references from previous employers. German companies require information which in the UK would not be requested until a job offer was going to be made. German employers are not interested in your personal interests, but often applicants include details about their parents and their parents’ jobs.
【B4】______If you are planning to apply for a job in one of these countries it would be a good idea to go there and meet people. Italians accept that you might not know their language, but if you are willing to learn, they will accept that. In Italy trust is very important, as well as dressing well and having good manners. In Scandinavian cultures, especially Norway, your CV should not be self-centred, seeking to sell the individual with words like "committed". Norwegians expect you not to overplay your achievements.
【B5】______This means you should exclude details such as age, sex or marital status, and never include a photograph. Any of these could give someone grounds for discrimination against you. The aim of an American CV is to show that you can do the job.
Questions 61 -65
Complete the passage with the following sentences. There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use.
A. Italy and Spain are strong on personal contacts.
B. CVs must contain as much information as possible.
C. In the USA, some of what British people include in their CVs would be illegal.
D. The Germans, on the other hand, do not expect a cover letter.
E. Before applying for a job, you must design your CV carefully.
F. Even within Europe, there are enormous differences in what is expected of applicants for jobs.
G. Another problem for the British is their lack of skills in foreign languages.
【B2】
选项
答案
F
解析
空格前一段描述的是英国人青睐的简历类型,而本段主要讲述法国人青睐的简历类型。两段内容讲述的是欧洲两个不同国家的情况。F项“即使是在欧洲境内,不同国家对于应聘者的要求也有很大的差别。”符合上下文语境,放在两段中间,能够起到承上启下的作用,故正确答案为F项。
