问题     When Benjamin Franklin observed that nothing is certain in this world but death and taxes, he might well have added "and work." Not that work really belongs in such dark company, however; it can and should be a good deal more pleasant than Mr. Franldin’s two certainties. Working in a pleasant atmosphere, occupying the right post -- in short, finding the right job -- is an important part, perhaps the most important, of every man’s life.
    The first thing to do in seeking a position is to determine exactly what you want to do -- not in terms of some vague, ethereal (轻飘的) objective, such as "I, want to become a member of the management group," but with a definite and immediate goal. Through everyone’s experience there must run a thread of consistency, a pattern of what the individual has enjoyed doing and hence has done well. Though actual jobs may have been held in different fields of endeavor, each one of us should be able to pick out the type of work he can do best.
    Many men I have interviewed have come to me and said: "I am a financial man. Any sport you have in the treasurer’s or controller’s line, I’d like." or "I’m good with people. I can sell anything. If you hear of a sales manager’s opening or public relations spot, I’d be a natural".
    These men are confused. They have not thought through the problems and responsibilities of the fields they say they are qualified for. It is also apparent to the interviewer that they are thinking of themselves rather than of the contribution they can make to the future employer.
    This does not imply that one man is not capable of filling several different kinds of positions. A man’s aptitude or his past training may fit him for a number of job, but he should know enough not to confuse sales management with public relations or a treasurer’s duties with those of a controller. (Personally I believe many companies set such rigid specifications .in looking for a man that they overlook worthwhile candidates.) But after all, if an individual cannot decide for himself what he can do best, how can he expect anyone else to do it for him? [br] In seeking the most suitable type of job, the author suggests that job seekers should first ______.
选项 A、consult with a friend who is experienced in this respect
B、read ad sections of daily newspapers carefully
C、get in contact with a management group
D、determine a definite and immediate goal
