M: Take the season for pomp and circumstance and for thousands of new college graduates to find a job. The process can be intimidating, but thanks to a strong economy, there is good news for the grads. Ellen of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance has some advice to help new grads into the working world. Vera, it’s good to see you.
W: Good morning, Russ, nice to see you.
M: So the job market is good, ha?
W: lt’s very good, employers planned to hire about 14% more grads this year than last, a very good time to be an accounting major, engineering major, finance major, but really the demand is across the board, it’s the best job market we’ve seen in 4 or 5 years.
M: And what do you attribute this hiring surge to?
W: Ah, largely a reflection of the economic conditions, corporate growth of course has been good, corporate profits are strong, so companies feel more comfortable hiring. As you know, the entry-level market is most sensitive to the economic conditions.
M: Right.
W: Conditions are good, hiring is on the up.
M: What about, what about starting salaries, are they higher this year than years past?
W: Those are very good as well. There are up about 6 percent more this year than last with the average starting salary at a whopping 46,000 dollars and you can deem better than, than that, if you’re engineering major or looking at potentially 50, 55 thousand dollars to start, perhaps even the signing bonuses are making a comeback as well.
M: You are talking about our starting salaries years ago, well, that’s a lot different. Is it the market so good now? There is competition among employers to hire these folks.
W: Yes, yes, that’s a good point, nearly 9 out of 10 employers in fact say that competition this year is stronger than last.
M: Hmm. You’ve got some advice, er, for college grads as they’re looking for a job. The first thing you say is do not rely on the Internet, why?
W: Don’t rely on the Internet as your only job searching strategy. it’s fine if it’s a component of the strategy, but should not be your only strategy, because only about 25 percent of the jobs are advertised in any public medium and only about 5 percent of the job seekers actually end up getting a job through an advertisement. So your best job searching tool, networking, word of mouth, getting the word out there, hitting the payment.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on what you have just heard.
1. What is the good news for new college graduates?
2. What boosts the increasing demand for hiring?
3. What happened to the starting salaries this year?
4. What do most employers say about hiring new staff?
5. Why does Ellen suggest that students should not rely on the Internet?
选项
A、They are limited to 46, 000 dollars.
B、They rise considerably compared with last.
C、They fall down in only 50 kinds of jobs.
D、They stand still for engineering students.
答案
B
解析
Ellien提到今年的起薪点(starting salaries)也很好,比去年上升了6%,故B项正确。Ellen说的是起薪点可达到46,000或更高,并不局限于此,故A项错误。C项和D项只是利用对话原词50和engineering作干扰。
