How to Stand Out at Graduate Fairs
A)A major event for all job-seeking graduates is The Guardian London Graduate Fair from The Careers Group. Now in its 36th year, the fair takes place at the Business Design Centre, London, and is widely regarded as the only recruitment fair graduates will need to attend this summer. Attracting more than 8 0G0 pre-registered visitors, 5 000 attendees over two days and more than 80 exhibitors, it’s one of the largest fairs of its kind in Europe. Despite the current economic climate, organizations are still looking to fill graduate vacancies for 2010 to 2011. With popular organizations such as Abercrombie & Fitch, ACCA, The Army, Civil Service Fast Stream, FDM Group, Journalist Works, Make It Happen, Royal Air Force and Waitrose already booked to attend, there is a diverse range of graduate opportunities on offer from the retail, media, finance, logistics(物流), would-be entrepreneurs, public and third sectors. Employers recognize this fair as one of the best ways to recruit the talent they need.
B)Debbie Coupland, the Army Careers Advisor(officer, London Universities)said: "One of the greatest benefits of this recruitment fair is talking to graduates who have never thought of the army because they have a stereotypical image of it. But once they talk to my uniformed colleagues, they are surprised to learn about the wide and exciting range of jobs that are on offer."
C)Suzie Young, graduate recruitment manager for Waitrose, said: "There are benefits for both parties at the fair. If I meet someone who is really good, it is really worthwhile for me but, equally, the fair gives students an overview of what’s out there. It also gives them the opportunity to browse and find out what companies are like."
D)Simon Dixon, managing director of Benedix, who offers training and consultancy for those who want to work in the banking and finance, said: "This fair gives graduates the opportunity to meet people face to face and also to get into the mindset of the corporate world. It gives them valuable hands-on experience of the new world they are about to enter. "Attending this event has a range of benefits for those looking to land their first job or change direction.
E)Anne-Marie Martin, director of The Careers Group, University of London, said: "Fortunately we are coming out of the recession. Graduate recruitment has held up and even the financial employers are back recruiting in significant numbers." "However, it is still a competitive market and not all graduates will step straight into their first choice of job. They will need to think creatively and identify different pathways to their preferred employment. Plan to gather evidence of skills, abilities and interests as you move through different jobs. The Guardian London Graduate Fair from The Careers Group is a great place to start the journey. "The fair is a one-stop shop for students, graduates and career changers. As well as a varied list of exhibitors and training providers, it also has a comprehensive program of presentations given by expert careers advisers, a selection of exhibitors and the panel debates in the Guardian Sessions Room.
F)There is free CV Surgery where you can get your CV or application form checked and receive impartial feedback from careers advisers. Also on offer are in-depth consultations with expert careers consultants for a reduced price of £ 25 for 25 minutes. With 5 000 graduate job hunters at the fair, it’s important to try to stand out from the crowd. Here, Anne-Marie Martin from The Careers Group, Simon Dixon of Benedix, Army Careers Advisor Debbie Coupland and Suzie Young, Graduate Recruitment Manager for Waitrose, offer their tips on how to get the most out of a careers fair.
1. Preparation
G)Before getting to the fair, identify the key employers you are interested in on the exhibitor list and try to find out how and when they recruit and what they look for in successful candidates. Keep an eye on the news and follow any particular company you are interested in. Have they made any recent acquisitions? Have they won any business-related awards?
2. The paperwork
H)If you are taking your CV with you to the fair, make sure you get it checked by a careers adviser. You can get this done in your college careers service before the fair, or you can visit the CV Surgery on the day.
3. The elevator test
I)Prepare your initial introduction before you get there. Rehearse(演练)your answer to: "How can I help you?" which is probably the first thing an exhibitor will say to you. Imagine you’re in an elevator and you only have till it reaches the ground floor from the tenth floor to make your introduction. Talk about your transferable skills and any extra-curricular activities you’ve been involved in rather than your degree.
4. Dress to impress
J)Some careers advisers would advise you to wear a suit as if you were attending a formal interview, and some say smart casual is good enough. Whatever you wear, make sure you are comfortable as pulling or tugging(用力拉)at your clothes after a few hours walking round the fair is not going to present you in a positive light. Make sure your clothes are clean and presentable. Ripped jeans, flip-flops(夹趾拖鞋)or muddy boots are definitely a no-no. First impressions count, so wear what you think will make you look professional and smart. If you know what sector you’re interested in, you can tailor your dress code accordingly—whether it’s banking or fashion.
5. Ask the right questions
K)Prepare some questions you want to ask the employer. Often the company has a recent graduate on the stand and it’s useful to ask them what their first year was like and what sort of projects and level of responsibilities they were given. It shows genuine interest and gives you a sense of the company ethos. Don’t ask organizations what they do—it’s better to research that first— or ask about salaries, which gives the wrong impression.
6. Making contacts
L)Some companies will ask you to fill in forms or take a note of your contact details. It is a good idea to have a business card or an A6 card with your details handy and ask if you can leave it with them. Take business cards when they are offered and any company leaflets. [br] If the applicant asks the employer about salaries in the interview, it will give the wrong impression.

答案
K
解析
同义转述题。由定位句可知,不要问机构具体做什么工作,应聘之前应该先研究一下,也不要问工资情况,这会给人留下不好的印象。题干是对定位句的同义转述,故答案为K)。
