The following question was posed by Puget Sound Community School’s Steve Miranda in late August: Should resumes replace school transcripts? It’s a good question, but ultimately the wrong one. We should be asking: What yet-to-be-seen innovation will replace both transcripts and traditional resumes? In a world where jobs and school experiences are becoming less uniform, it makes more sense to find alternative ways to showcase your talents and achievements.
The Internet has changed how we do this. We are no longer limited to telling our stories on sheets of paper—we can use digital portfolios to display our work, which are already starting to replace resumes in the creative and technical professions.
But the problem with such sites is that they serve a niche market of people who can make do without these resources. If you’re both technical and creative, why have a profile on someone else’s site if you can further showcase your talents by creating an independent portfolio of your own?
The most creative and technical among us buy their own domain names and design personal websites that function as portfolios. However, not everyone has the time, money or expertise to do that.
Zerply allows anyone to create portfolios designed using resources by world-class designers. Proven. com takes a skills-based approach to revolutionizing resumes, providing skill verification. From chef to lawyer, Proven certifies your skills before passing your resume to employers. This is great from the perspective of the employer, but it still puts you, the employee, on a very narrow track. Although Linkedln passed 100 million users this year, had a successful initial public offering, and has terabytes upon terabytes of data about users’ work experience, innovation at the company is stagnant, turning your data into a traditional resume. Companies that have terabytes of user data but have not incorporated resume—and portfolio—building into their platform could easily enter the online resume market.
With that in mind, perhaps your personal brand, as cultivated on Facebook and Twitter, makes up a larger piece of the solution than we imagine. What if Facebook enabled your social graph to find you jobs and provide professional social networking? TopProspect, an application built on Facebook, does the former, and BranchOut does the latter. Although neither has gained significant traction, the market opportunity, given the level of Facebook users’ engagement, seems huge.
Your school transcript—particularly if it is from an elite institution—may get your foot in the door, but simply getting a degree isn’t enough. Part of the problem is rampant grade inflation. In 1960, 15 percent of all grades were A’s: today, 43 percent are. Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean we’re getting smarter. Rather, it means that, whether or not you go to college, you must go above and beyond to prove yourself once you graduate.
The last two paragraphs imply that social development requires people______.
选项
A、to use sites like Facebook and Twitter
B、to display themselves in various ways
C、to set up professional social networks
D、to enter top-class colleges and institutions
答案
B
解析
推断题。由题干定位至最后两段。作者在倒数第二段中建议人们可以使用Facebook这类网站来展示个性,扩大社交圈。最后一段为总结段,作者指出,随着学历的贬值,仅有著名学府的成绩单是不够的,人们必须想方设法展示自我才能获得好的机会,因此[B]为答案。[A]是以偏概全,作者只是用这些网站举例说明,这并不是他的实际论点,因此排除;[C]也只是作者在第六段提及的一种方式,故也属于以偏概全,排除;而[D]“进入顶尖高等院校”是对第七段第一句的曲解,作者恰恰认为仅有这种教育背景在现代社会已经是不够的了,故[D]也不符合文意,排除。
