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 Emails them when a matching position is posted in the database. Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property, and Washington, . Three weeks later, he got his first notification of an opening. “I struck gold,” says Redmon, who Emailed his resume to the employer and won a position as inhouse counsel for a pany. With thousands of careerrelated sites on the Inter, finding promising openings can be timeconsuming 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。比如,某些經(jīng)濟(jì)變化導(dǎo)致了年輕人就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)減少和失業(yè)率上升,通常在這種情況下,想找到薪水豐厚的工作就愈加困難。 三、 長(zhǎng)難句翻譯 Theories __21centering__ on the individual suggest that children engage in criminal behavior __22 because__ they were not sufficiently penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through __23_interaction_ with others. 本句中 that children engage in … 和 that they have learned… 做 suggest 的并列賓語(yǔ)從句。只有“( 青少年)越來(lái)越容易接觸( availability)毒品和酒精”才可能引起犯罪。此題有 幾個(gè)線索,首先, 考生從 文 中可以分析出:the traditional family 16 與 families consist of oneparent households or two working parents 是相對(duì)照的,后者為現(xiàn)代家庭的組成方式即結(jié)構(gòu),那么前者 空格也應(yīng)相應(yīng)地填入一個(gè)表“結(jié)構(gòu)”含義的詞。 Th
