2021银行校园招聘每日一练9.29(一)
When Tina Nicolai began working as a recruiter for Walt Disney World in the late 1990s, she noticed that many job seekers were submitting flawed resumes. “I realized people simply did not know how to make themselves on their achievements. Nicolai tells Business Insider. “And that’s how I knew there was a market to educate job candidates as levels and in all industries.
In 2010 she founded Resume Writers’ Ink. Since launching my company, I’ve read over 40000 resumes,” she says “And this is what most people get wrong: They think a buffet resume is the best way to go.” Nicolai says a buffet resume is one that has too much going on… one that offers too much information.
“My clients often think a resume that is smorgasbord is best because it demonstrates the bandwidth of skills, experiences and achievements that they have in their repertoire of success,” she says. “But this is a recipe for getting overlooked.”
Nicolai says hiring managers do not have time to sift through you resume, picking out what is directly related to the job opening. “A resume is like a wardrobe. Just because a person has everything from casual to formal doesn’t mean they wear all of those pieces together,” she explains. We dress according to where we’re going, the activity we’re doing, and the climate---but don’t wear it all at once.
Only include information that’s relevant to the job you’re applying for. And yes, that means you need to tailor your resume for each job application. Don’t be lazy!
1.The word “repertoire” in paragraph 3 is closet in meaning to ( ).
A. selection
B. collection
C. variety
D. repetition
【答案】B。猜词题。第三段首句写到“我的客户总是认为简历越详尽越好，因为详尽的简历会展现他们在日常成功中所储备的丰富技巧、经验和成果”。B项意为“收集”，亦可引申为“积累”，与文段中的repertoire(所有、全部)意思更为接近。A项：选择;C项：多样性;D项：重复，ACD选项的意思与repertoire悬殊较为大，排除，故答案选B。
2.According to the passage, what is a smorgasbord resume? ( )
A. A resume that has a special focus.
B. A resume that contains everything.
C. A resume that impresses all.
D. A resume that is fancy-looking.
【答案】B。猜词题。关键词smorgasbord resume定位至第三段，“My clients often think a resume that is smorgasbord is best because it demonstrates the bandwidth of skills, experiences and achievements that they have in their repertoire of success”，根据后半句it demonstrates the bandwidth of skills, experiences and achievements that they have in their repertoire of success(它阐述了所有成功经历当中的技能、经验和成就)，可见smorgasbord resume(简历)应该是非常详细的，囊括了所有的东西，所以答案选B。A项：一份有着特定关注点的建立;C项：一份让人印象深刻的简历;D项：一份非常好看的简历。
3.What does Tina Nicolai mean when she said “this is a recipe for getting overlooked” in paragraph 3? ( )
A. Putting too much information in the resume distracts the reader’s attention.
B. One needs to add more information to the resume.
C. The details in the resume could be easily overlooked because of the arrangement.
D. The resume needs to be more eye-catching.
【答案】A。猜词题。根据题干的关键词可定位到原文的第三段的最后一句话，“But this is a recipe for getting overlooked”，这句话的前几句阐述的是客户认为一份囊括所有信息的简历就是最好的简历，然后通过转折关联词but说出了自己的观点，but前后两句的含义相反、感情色彩相反，因此这句话应该表达的是作者认为“囊括所有信息”的简历并不好，反而会带来坏处，观察选项，只有A项(简历里面放太多信息会分散读者的注意力)的感情色彩能与前文保持对立，所以答案选A。B项：人们应该在简历上放更多的信息;C项：由于排版的问题，简历里面的详细信息会被忽视;D项：简历应该更加吸引人眼球。
4.Which of the following is recommended according to the passage? ( )
A. Making the resume like a wardrobe.
B. Offering as much information in the resume as possible.
C. Tailoring the resume for each application.
D. Putting all of one’s achievements in the resume.
【答案】C。是非题。结合文段倒数第一段和第二段，作者用了很形象的比喻，We dress according to where we’re going, the activity we’re doing, and the climate(穿衣要根据不同的场合和所参加的活动，以及气候而定)，也就是说制作简历时应该根据自己所找的工作而定，不要广撒网，所以答案选C。A项：制作简历就像整理衣柜一样，A项表述过于字面意思话，没有点破作者真正的建议，排除;B项：“简历中尽可能提供多一点信息”，与作者意思相反，排除;D项：“把所有的成就都写入简历中”，作者并不赞同这样，排除;故单选C。
5.If you applying for a sales manager, which of the following should NOT be included in your resume according to the passage? ( )
A. Award of the best debater
B. Experience as a group leader
C. Intern as a sales assistant
D. Demonstrated sale results
【答案】A。是非题。题干问的是“如果你要申请销售经理的职位，下列哪个内容不能写入简历中”，结合文段倒数二、三段的内容，作者认为制作简历是要量体裁衣，根据自己申请的职位来写简历，如果想申请销售经理职位，A项：最佳辩手奖，这项优势与销售经理并无太大关系，所以A项不宜写入简历当中;B项：小组领导的经验，可以体现“经理”领导能力;C项：销售助理实习，与销售经理相关，可以写入;D项：列举销售数据，也与销售相关，可写入;只有A项不符合，故答案选A。
