问题     In some ways the employment interview is like a persuasive speech because the applicant (interviewee) seeks to persuade the employer (interviewer) to employ him or her. Several suggestions might prove helpful to the applicant as preparation is made for the actual interview.
    A job applicant has the responsibility for ascertaining certain types of information prior to the interview. First, the applicant should know what kind of job he wants and how that job relates to his career objective. It is important that the applicant be able to state his reasons for wishing to work for a particular company. Second, the applicant should seek as much information as possible concerning the company. Relevant information for the applicant to locate includes such items as the location of the home and regional offices, the financial status of the company, plans for expansion, and company philosophy. Information about most major corporations is available in reference books and periodicals.
    After gathering information concerning the company, the applicant is ready for the interview. The interviewer’s first impression comes from the interviewee’s appearance. For most interviews, appropriate dress for man is a conservative (保守的) dark colored suit with a long sleeve white or light blue shirt and conservative tie. For women a conservative, tailored suit or dress is appropriate. Both men and women should have neat, conservative length hair.
    Although hairstyle and dress are matters of personal taste, many personnel directors form initial impressions from these characteristics. For example, one recent college graduate, who felt himself qualified, interviewed for a public relations job. However, the personnel manager considered this young man’s long hair, sloppy dress, and overly casual manner unsuited for this particular position. [br] What is the author trying to tell us through the example in the last paragraph?
选项 A、The importance of personal taste.
B、The importance of public relations.
C、The importance of self confidence.
D、The importance of first impression.
答案 D
解析 本题是一道有关文章要点类的问题。问作者在最后一段举的例子是想告诉我们什么。仔细阅读一下最后一段，作者举了一个大学毕业生申请工作而遭拒绝的例子，用以说明该段第一句提到的道理：虽然发型和着装是个人爱好问题，但是许多人事主管由此而形成第一印象。而第一印象对求职的成败起着重要的作用。因此，本题的正确答案应是D“指出第一印象的重要性”。
