2015理解强化练习及解析(9) Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbledacross CareerBuilder, a job database on the Internet. He searched it with nosuccess but was attracted by the sites personalsearch agent. Its an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria suchas location, title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matching position isposted in the database. Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property,and Washington, D.C. Three weeks later, he got his first notification of anopening. I struck gold, says Redmon, who E-mailed his resume to the employer and won aposition as in-house counsel for a company。 With thousands of career-related sites on the Internet, findingpromising openings can be time-consuming and inefficient. Search agents reducethe need for repeated visits to the databases. But although a search agentworked for Redmon, career experts see drawbacks. Narrowing your criteria, forexample, may work against you: Every time you answer a question you eliminate a possibility。 says oneexpert。 For any job search, you should start with a narrow conceptwhat youthink you want to dothen broaden it. None of these programs do that, says anotherexpert. Theres no career counseling implicit in all of this。 Instead,the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreastof jobs in a particular database; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminderto check the database again. I would not rely on agents for finding everything that is added to adatabase that might interest me, says the author of a job-searching guide。 Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. WhenCareerSites agent sends out messages to those who have signed up for itsservice, for example, it includes only three potential jobsthose itconsiders the best matches. There may be more matches in the database; jobhunters will have to visit the site again to find themand they do.On the day after we send our messages, we see a sharp increase inour traffic, says Seth Peets, vice president of marketing for CareerSite。 Even those who arent hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile. Some use themto keep a close watch on the demand for their line of work or gatherinformation on compensation to arm themselves when negotiating for a raise.Although happily employed, Redmon maintains his agent at CareerBuilder. You alwayskeep your eyes open, he says. Working with a personal search agent means having anotherset of eyes looking out for you。 21. How did Redmon find his job?
