21、ations: 1 . Career Development： how t。fill a key vacancyWhen it comes to filling a key vacancy, a company will usually follow the same standard procedure.（开题）It will begin by producing an accurate job description of what it would like the successful candidate to do.（要点 1, 词 job description） From thi
22、s, it can then produce a profile of this ideal candidate, which is a list of skills, experience, attributes and so on.（发展 1t解释）Having produced this profile, the company must then decide on the best recruitment method to capture a candidate with this profile.（要点 2f关健词 recruitment method） This might b

26、m rather than the exception in any industry. （结论）B. 11 . Recruitment： the importance of having 4 good CVWell, in my opinion, you should never underestimate the importance of having a good CV.（开题）lb begin with, in the majority of cases, your CV is the employers first impression of you. （要点 1,关健词 firs
27、t impression） Your first chance to impress your potential employer, lets say.（发展 1,解释）As you should remember to your advantage, youve got only 30 seconds to leave a positive impression on someone, whether he is a customer or a potential employerBut more than that, your CV also showcases your essenti
28、al skills in order to compete in todays job market.（要点 2, 关键词 skills） In other words, it provides an illustration of your skills to organize, summarize, prioritize and present information effectively, say, as well as your linguistic and communicative abilities.（发展 2, 解释）But above all, a CV, by Its v
29、ery nature, also indicates how your qualification and experience match your employers requirements.（要点 3l 关键词 qualification and experience） In this way, your prospective boss will be able to reach a sound decision on your suitability for the position.（发展 3, 解释）Even though employers these days use a
30、variety of selection techniques, such as analyzing your handwriting or psychometric tests, a good CV is still the single most important part of any application.（结论）C What is important when chssing a new supplier? Prices and discounts. ReputationWell, when it comes to choosing a new supplier, several
31、 vital factors must be taken into account.lb begin with, I think we must consider the price of goods first. We can compare the prices offered by different suppliers and choose the one which is more reasonable. Because only if we get the supply at lower price can we make profits. Of course, it would
32、be even better if the supplier can offer discounts to regular clients.Another point we should also consider is the location of the supplier Wed better choose one who is not too far away from us. If the supplier is too far away, that will most likely increase the cost of transportation.Besides, its a
33、lso very important to consider whether the supplier is reliable. We would never choose those who always deliver their goods late or those who cant ensure the quality of goods. Because late delivery may bring heavy loss to us, and quality is the lifeline of any business. Otherwise we may lose our own
34、 clients. So in this aspect, we must not make any concessions, and lower prices cannot be a valid mitigating factor.While there are also other considerations in choosing a suppliei; such as reputation, means of payment, after-sales service, I believe the factors mentioned above are the most indispen
35、sable ones.D. H 36. What is important when choosing busiMSS premises to rent? Location, Length of contractWell, as we all know, many factors must be considered when choosing business premises to rent, the questions is of course - which ones?From my point of view, we should first take the location in
36、to consideration. Some companies choose to locate in office blocks downtown; some would like to be near the largest concentrations of their target customers. It depends largely upon the type of the company in question. Companies that provide services must be located within easy access. So they usual
37、ly choose those places where there is convenient transportation.Another important facet to consider is the size of the premises. Nowadays, more and more large companies prefer an open, spacious working floor which allows colleagues to communicate and interact freely. Of course, a small company w oul
38、d not rent the whole floor That will be a waste of space and an unnecessary cost burden.Last but not least, the length of contract should not be neglected. A fixed-term contract is legally binding and can only serve to make your situation worse in times of recession. Whenever possible, flexible cont
39、ract arrangement should be preferred.While there are also other considerations in choosing business premises, such as rent and facilities, I believe the factors mentioned above are the most indispensable ones.E. !II. Z Career Development： The importance of acquiring a range of skills thro也hout your
40、careerWell, as is known to all, it is very important for a person to acquire a range of skills in the course of his careen The question is of course - why?When he has a range of skills, first of all, he is obviously more competitive than those who dont and therefore has better chances of surviving a
41、 downturn. To put it another way, companies are likely to retain highly skilled staff members even when mass layoff is inevitable.And thas not the only benefit. A person with a range of skills is more likely to work his way to the top of the corporate ladder In most companies, whether or not you hav
42、e the appropriate skills is a relevant criterion for promotion.On the other hand, it will also be easier for a skilled employee to find a job outside his own company if he is not satisfied with his present job. In this way, acquiring a variety of skills in ones career offers more professional mobili
43、ty.So, when all the benefits are taken into account, no wonder acquisition of skills is taken so seriously nowadays.F. !-8. Career Planning： how to assess the career opportunities provided by different types of companiesWell, when it comes to assessing different career opportunities, several vital f
44、actors must be taken into account.First of all, the type of company should be taken into consideration. Different types of firms have their own benefits and challenges. In a multinational company., say, you can learn international business management and culture, and as an icing on the cake, you may
45、 have more opportunities to travel abroad. Howevei; English is the working language in multinationals. You have to be very good at English to work there. So state-owned companies may better suit some people.Salary should be another important consideration. As everyone knows, multinational companies
46、usually offer higher salaries. But if you have just graduated from college, you shouldnt be too concerned about that. As a new hand, its more important to gain more experience through working rather than earn quick money.After salary, we should not ignore other financial rewards in the form of fring
47、e benefits. Some companies offer housing allowance, car allowance, childrens education allowance in addition to salaries. Still others provide staff with free health club and cafeteria. And high tech firms often supplement salaries with stock options.Although there are also other considerations in a
48、ssessing different career opportunities, such as training, location, and good colleagues, I believe the factors mentioned above are the most indispensable ones.G HI-31. Human Resources: how to select the risht staff for promotionWell, as is known to all, it is very important to select the right staff for promotion. The question is of course - how?For one thing, qualification definitely counts a great deal. A good qualification, especially an advanced degree, normally indicates high aptitude and a wide range of knowledge and skills. Even though we often hear cliches like But degrees don
