问题     If you’re finding it tough to land a job, try expanding your job-hunting plan to include the following strategies:
    Set your target. While you should always keep your options open to compromise, you should also be sure to target exactly what you want in a job. A specific job hunt will be more efficient than a random one.
    Schedule ample interviews. Use every possible method to get interviews—answering ads, using search firms, contacting companies directly, surfing the Web, and networking. Even if a job is not perfect for you, every interview can make you learn from it.
    Follow up. Even if someone does not hire you, write them a thank-you note for the interview. Then, some weeks later, send another brief letter to explain that you still have not found the perfect position and that you will be available to interview again if the original position you applied for—or any other position, for that matter—is open. Do this with every position you interview for, and you may just catch a break.
    Make it your full-time job. You can’t find a job by looking infrequently. You have to make time for it. If you’re unemployed and looking for a job, devote as much time as you would to a full-time job. If you have a job while you’re looking, figure out an organized schedule to maximize your searching time.
    Network vertically. In the research phase of your job-hunt, talk to people who are on a level above you in your desired industry. They’ll have some insights that people at your own level won’t have, and will be in a good position to hire you or recommend you to be hired.
    Keep your spirits up. Looking for a job is one of the toughest things you will ever have to do. Maintain your confidence, stay persistent, and think positively, and eventually you will get a job that suits you. [br] As indicated in the passage, in order to get a suitable job, you should______.
选项 A、always keep an optimistic spirit
B、mainly focus on a full-time job
C、apply for one job at one time
D、follow other people’s footsteps
答案 A
解析 A是末段第1句和最后一句中的confidence，persistent和positively等说法的近义替换，为本题答案。本题最具干扰性的是B，该选项与文中第5段“Make it your full—time job．”在形式上很相近，但是该句的意思并不是建议找一份全职的工作，而是说要把求职当作一份工作那样认真对待；C、D未提及。
