MANAGEMENT consultants, investment banks and big law firms are the Holy Trinity of white-collar careers. They recruit up to a third of the graduates of the world’s best universities. They offer starting salaries in excess of $ 100,000 and a chance of making many multiples of that. They also provide a ladder to even better things. The top ranks of governments and central banks are sprinkled with Goldman Sachs and McKinsey veterans. Technology firms, though they are catching up fast, have nothing like the same grip on the global elite. Which raises a pressing question: how do you maximize your chances of joining such elite professional-services firms?
Lauren Rivera of Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management has spent a decade studying how these firms recruit. According to her, the best way to get into the tiny group of elite firms is to be studying at the tiny group of elite universities. The firms spend millions of dollars love-bombing these institutions with recruiting events; students can spend the recruitment season wining and dining at their expense. However, as Ms. Rivera notes, firms reject the vast majority of elite students they interview: so even the most pedigreed need to learn how to game the system. The most important tip is to look at who is doing the recruiting. The firms use revenue-generating staff rather than human-resources people to decide who has the right stuff.
The interviewers are trying to juggle their day jobs with their recruiting duties. In the interview room they behave predictably: they follow a set script, starting with some ice-breaking chit-chat, then asking you about yourself, then setting a work-related problem. That makes them desperate for relief from the tedium. Be enthusiastic. Hang on their every word. And flatter their self-image as "the best of the best . The most important quality recruiters! are looking for is "fit" : for all their supposedly rigorous testing of candidates, they would sooner choose an easy-going person with a second-class mind than a Mark Zuckerberg-type genius who rubs people up the wrong way.
Staff in professional-services firms spend most of their time dealing with clients; so looking the part is essential. They also expect their employees to spend extraordinary amounts of time together—learning the ropes in boot camps, working late in the office, having constant work dinners, getting stuck together in airports in godforsaken places.
One candidate in Ms. Rivera’s sample passed the interview by adopting the persona of a successful consultant that he knew at that firm. Even if you do not go that far, you must at all costs avoid appearing nerdy or eccentric. The old-fashioned belief still prevails that playing team sports, especially posh ones like rowing, makes for a rounded character. The final key to success is to turn your interviewer into a champion; someone who is willing to go to bat for you when the hiring committee meets to whittle down the list.
What can we infer from the second paragraph?
选项
A、Human-resources people are preferred to the recruit the students of elite universities.
B、The revenue-generating staff is more efficient in recruiting students.
C、The staff of recruiting is the most decisive factor in elite recruiting.
D、Students in elite universities will spend a lot to win the recruitment season.
答案
C
解析
[A]选项是用第二段最后一句话中的human-resources people和前面的句子拼凑的;准确地讲,这个选项属于NG。在文章中就没有说过业务部门员工招聘的效率更高,所以[B]选项依然是属于NG。记住:如果要有比较,一定要找到三要素:比较对象,比较内容和比较结果![C]选项对应文中的这句话:The most important tip is to look at who is doing the recruiting.“最重要的秘诀是要看谁负责招聘。”同义替换!正确答案!其中,important=decisive。[D]选项刚好说反了!文中这里说得很清楚:students can spend the recruitment season wining anddining at their expense.“学生在招聘季可尽享他们提供的美酒佳肴,”也就是说学生在找工作的时候是不用花钱的。再次说明:一切出题人都是纸老虎,只要你敢定位,他拿你一点办法都没有!
