This is not

9、only a matter of having the necessary technical knowledge and skills. You must also have the motivation, the ability to adapt to new ways of working and to a new work environment, and the personality to do the job and fit into a new team. The ability to cope with stress and get on with people is ess

10、ential. These include getting on with people, oral and written communication, team working, problem solving and good time management.Most people think that interviewers know what they are looking for and will recognise it when they see it. (8) . This applies to recruiters as much as anyone else. In

11、fact, a former head of selection at one big firm used to say that “some interviewers are so poor that they would do better to rely on chance.“In companies which recognise this, various methods are used to try to find the right person. (9) . Research has shown that this approach is more reliable than

12、 the ordinary job interview, though not as effective as using personality tests or assessment centres.In a structured interview the interviewer groups the qualities listed in the job specification under various headings. There are two well-established structures for this: the National Institute of I

13、ndustrial Psychologys Seven-Point Plan and the Five-Fold Grading System. Both these systems cover factors such as physical appearance, qualifications, general intelligence, motivation and previous experience. (10) .However, they should not give equal weight to each one. Some factors are more importa

14、nt in one job than an other. For example, physical appearance and manner will be more important in a sales position than in a re searcher who works behind the scenes. It is also a fact that the impact the candidate makes in the first three or four minutes of an interview is of major importance. (11)

15、 . A decision not to hire is often made during those first few minutes.It is not always possible to tell whether structured interview techniques are being used if interviewers ask questions systematically, using some kind of checklist, and occasionally make a brief note, they probably are. On the ot

16、her hand, if the interviewer goes through your application form to confirm what you have al ready said, or asks irrelevant questions, or jumps from one topic to another, the interview is unlikely to be structured. Before you attend any interview, look again at the job description and the personal sp

17、ecification. (12) . If you already have a mental list of the key points that you need to mention, you are unlikely to waste time giving irrelevant information or to omit important points in your favour.A Study them closely and assess what your interviewer will be looking for.B However, people are ac

18、tually not very good at assessing one another.C establish whether you are likely to do well in a particular job in a specific organization.D Although a favourable impression may be reversed later in the interview, a negative impression is rarely changed.E The most common is the structured interview.

19、F The effectiveness of the interviewer can be improved by training.G For each of these areas the interviewers score candidates against how well they fit the job specification.（分数：5.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_四、PART THREE(总题数：1，分数：6.00)A Brief History of CokeNowadays, Coca-Colas trademark

20、is well known around the world and its products average a staggering 400 million servings per day in more than 155 countries. According to legend, it began in a three-legged kettle in the back yard of Atlanta pharmacist Dr. John Styth Permberton who carried a jug of his concoction down the street to

21、 Jacobs Pharmacyy where it was sold at the soda fountain for 5 cents a glass. Frank Robinson, Pembertons partner and bookkeeper thought two “C“s would look good in advertising and wrote “Coca-Cola“ in the flowering script so famous today.It is significant that Permberton spent almost twice as much m

22、oney on advertising during the first years of operation as he made in profits, for the growth of Cokes popularity is as much due to the advertising and marketing strategy as it is to the quality of its product. By continually monitoring changes in consumer attitudes and behaviour, the Coca-Cola Co.

23、has become a widely recognized leader in advertising.Pemberton could not foresee the greatest future awaiting his soft drink and sold out. Asa Griggs Candler bought the business and organized the Coca-Cola Co. into a Georgia corporation. In 1893, he registered Co ca-Cola as a trademark.Under Candler

24、s leadership, the company began to grow quickly. In order to instigate a demand for the product, he spent heavily on advertising. Signs were put up from coast and appeared on calendars, serving trays and other merchandising items, urging people to drink Coke. Candlers campaign paid off.Candler was a

25、 creative talent at advertising, but showed little imagination in understanding Cokes marketing potential. In 1899, he sold the right to bottle Coke throughout most of the United State for $1, which he never bothered to collect. Candler saw Coke primarily as a soda-fountain drink. But two far-sighte

26、d businessmen from Chattanooga, Tennessee, Benjamin Franklin Thomas and Joseph Brown Whitehead, understood the potential, and, for the unpaid dollar, bought a franchise that became worth millions.Their agreement with Candler began the franchising bottling system that still remains the foundation of

27、the Co ca-Cola Co.s soft drink operations. Thomas and Whitehead sold the rights to bottle Coke to franchisers in every part of the country in return for the bottlers agreement to invest in the necessary resources and effort to make the franchise a success. During the following decade, 779 bottling p

28、lants went into operation.In the early 20th century, Coke blazed the advertising trail, developing innovative concepts that became accepted practices in the filed. One of the most effective was the distribution and redemption of complimentary tickets, entitling the holder to a glass of free Coke at

35、he products (19) his competitors, he will sell nothing if he charges above the market price and he will sell all if he charges at or below the market price.

37、ses, costs per unit decrease. (25) mass production has made this true in certain industries and at certain levels of production, (26) logic and practical experience have shown that costs per unit begin to rise beyond a certain level of production. Some economists (27) this principle as the law of in

38、creasing costs.The reason why (28) rise as production goes up is complex. However, it is easy to recognize that as production goes up, the need for additional factors of production will also grow, resulting (29) competitive bidding (出价) in the marketplace for the factors of production. If a producer

39、 needs (30) skilled labour to produce more, and none of this labour is unemployed, the producer will have to get (31) from other sources. This can be done by (32) higher wages. Higher bidding would also apply to the other factors of production. We must also recognize that not all labour is equally p
