“If you’re busy preparing for your job interview now, you could learn a lot by watching this show,” says Joe Turner.

Mr. Turner says American Idol (美国偶像) has many lessons to teach an employee about making an impression in a job interview, especially selling your strengths and skills.

To win on American Idol, “you don’t have to be the best singer, just the most memorable singer,” he said. “Same for the job interview — you don’t have to be the best employee with the top skills, but you do have to be the most memorable employee worth being hired.”

The No.1 thing in an interview and a job search is knowing your audience. For American Idol competitors, the judges and voting (投票的) public are the audience; for job hunters, it’s the hiring manager.

Just as talented American Idol competitors lack confidence when singing the wrong song, job hunters can fail to be chosen when they fail to present their skills according to the employer’s needs.

“Difference” is how Mr. Turner describes the way American Idol competitors stand out among singers who may be equally good.

In the real world, the right skills, education and experience still make one’s ability different or memorable. But it’s important for the job hunter to present “something special” that he or she has to offer.

A recent survey suggests that managers often sense whether they’ll hire someone within minutes after the first handshake. Just as an Idol competitor

prepares for performances, a job hunter should prepare carefully to make the first good impression.

Job hunters also can learn from past American Idol winners who proved an ability to recover from setbacks. If they can take feedback (反馈), make improvements and make sure they’re better prepared the next go-round, that will pay off eventually.

68. The purpose of the passage is _______.

A. to persuade readers to take part in American Idol B. to praise the winners of American Idol C. to advertise for American Idol

D. to tell job hunters what they can learn from American Idol 69. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

A. if a job hunter fails to be chosen for one job, he or she will never succeed

B. job hunters should distinguish themselves from other applicants when interviewing

C. the skills, education and experience are the keys to your success D. an American Idol competitor is never the same as a job hunter 70. The underlined word “setbacks” in the last paragraph means ________. A. failures

B. successes

C. performances D. advantages

71. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. The reason that you are planning to change your job. B. The best singer may not win on American Idol.

C. An employer may have the opinion on a job hunter within minutes. D. How an American Idol competitor can stand out among singers. E

Although many online personality tests are fun, only a few will really give you insight into who you are and what you are supposed to be doing with your life.

At CareerPlanner.com we believe that each individual, regardless of （不管） race or religion, has a purpose in life, and until you discover what your purpose is, you will not find true happiness, nor true job satisfaction. This doesn’t mean you won’t be successful. It just means you won’t be happy until you are moving towards your true purpose.

Unfortunately, our school system does very little to help students discover their true career. This is where online personality tests and career tests can help.

Online personality tests and career tests can help you better understand what type of work you should be doing to achieve job satisfaction, happiness, and success.

Personality tests are most useful in giving you insight into “how” your personality compares to others and “how” you like to work.

In particular, if you frequently experience difficulty working with others, or getting their support and cooperation, a really good personality test would show you how to get along better.

While personality tests are very useful at showing you how you like to work and how you like your work environment, they are not really designed to show you “what” type of work is right for you.

That is where Career Interest Tests come in. Online Career Tests, such as the CareerPlanner.com offers will help you discover what your true interests are, and what type of work you will be passionate (热诚的) about. But back to personality tests. The most well-established personality tests are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator R, and the Enneagram.
