Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the question.

More often than not, you can't just "order up a job" by responding to an online posting and have it delivered in one or two days as if you were buying whatever your heart desires on Amazon. Even as employers are hiring at a higher rate than they have in the last several years, it can often take months to work your way through the job search process. If you are a new graduate yet to receive a job offer, if you recently moved to a new locale with your spouse or partner or if you are unemployed for any other reason, you may find success in your job search by spending time volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

Both the nonprofit and for-profit worlds need people with many of the same talents. The best volunteer jobs for you to consider are ones where the experience you acquire will be applicable in the "for-pay" position you want to attain. It's often the case that once you display your passion for the organization and its mission, and have demonstrated your abilities, you'll earn strong consideration when a paying position opens up that can benefit from your talents. Even if you don't have a path to employment at the place you volunteer, by highlighting your volunteer experience on your resume, you can demonstrate that you haven't been wasting your time away staying at home watching the grass grow.

There are a few strategies you might adopt when considering at which organization you'll want to volunteer. You' ll probably want to make a priority of volunteering to do what you've already done, or want to do, in the for-profit sector. Alternatively, however, it might make sense to volunteer to do something where you can turn an area of professional weakness into a new strength. Remember, as well, that nonprofit organizations maintain strong relationships with their corporate sponsors, and you might look for a volunteer position that would enable you to be that nexus point between the two. And, especially if you are recently out of school, you should look for positions that let you learn about an occupation, a field of interest or an industry.

As you try to determine what you want to volunteer to do, and where you want to do it, make three lists: your marketable skills, the roles you seek and the kinds of charitable organizations you would want to support. For example, perhaps your skills cluster around accounting, marketing or event planning. Think about how these might come in handy for organizations that need financial help figuring out how to brand the organization to attract other volunteers or donors or run anything from charitable golf tournaments to gala dinners.

Đáp án A

Từ nào có thể mô tả chính xác nhất thái độ của tác giả về việc làm tình nguyện khi đang thất nghiệp?

A. ủng hộ B. hài hước C. nghi ngờ D. không tán thành

Từ khóa: the author’s attitude/ volunteering when being unemployed

Căn cứ vào các nội dung trong đoạn văn:

- “If you are a new graduate yet to receive a job offer, if you recently moved to a new locale with your spouse or partner or if you are unemployed for any other reason, you may find success in your job search by spending time volunteering at a nonproﬁt organization,” (Nếu bất kì 1 sinh viên mới tốt nghiệp nhưng chưa có được việc làm, nếu gần đây bạn mới chuyển đến một chỗ ở mới cùng với người bạn đời hay cộng sự hay nếu bạn thất nghiệp với bất kì lí do gì, bạn có thể kiếm được một công việc bằng cách dành thời gian làm việc tình nguyện ở các tổ chửc phi lợi nhuận).

- “Even if you don't have a path to employment at the place you volunteer, by highlighting your volunteer experience on your resume, you can demonstrate that you haven't been wasting your time away staying at home watching the grass grow.” (Ngay cả khi bạn không nhận được việc làm ở nơi mà bạn tình nguyện, bằng việc liệt kê các kinh nghiệm nổi bật khi tình nguyện trong bản sơ yếu lý lịch, bạn có thể chỉ ra rằng bạn đã không lãng phí thời gian ngồi ở nhà ngắm cỏ mọc).

- ”And, especially if you are recently out of school, you should look for positions that let you learn about an occupation, a ﬁeld of interest or an industry.” (Và đặc biệt là nếu bạn vừa mới ra trường, bạn nên tìm kiếm các vị trí mà có thể giúp bạn biết thêm về một nghề nghiệp, một lĩnh vực quan trọng hay một ngành công nghiệp).

=> Như vậy, có thể thấy tác giả rất ủng hộ việc tình nguyện khi thất nghiệp.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.

There are many mistakes that people make when writing their resume (CV) or completing a job application. Here are some of the most common and most serious.

The biggest problem is perhaps listing the duties for which you were responsible in a past position: all this tells your potential employers is what you were supposed to do. They do not necessarily know the speciﬁc skills you used in executing them, nor do they know what results you achieved - both of which are essential. In short, they won’t know if you were the best, the worst or just average in your position.

The more concrete information you can include, the better. As far as possible, provide measurements of what you accomplished. If any innovations you introduced saved the organization money, how much did they save? If you found a way of increasing productivity, by what percentage did you increase it?

Writing what you are trying to achieve in life - your objective - is a waste of space. It tells the employer what you are interested in. Do you really think that employers care what you want? No, they are interested in what they want! Instead, use that space for a career summary. A good one is brief - three to four sentences long. A good one will make the person reviewing your application want to read further.

Many resumes list ‘hard' job-specific skills, almost to the exclusion of transferable, or ‘soft’, skills. However, your ability to negotiate effectively, for example, can be just as important as your technical skills.

All information you give should be relevant, so carefully consider the job for which you are applying. If you are applying for a job that is somewhat different than your current job, it is up to you to draw a connection for the resume reviewer, so that they will understand how your skills will fit in their organization. The person who reviews your paperwork will not be a mind reader.

If you are modest about the skills you can offer, or the results you have achieved, a resume reader may take what you write literally, and be left with a low opinion of your ability: you need to say exactly how good you are. On the other hand, of course, never stretch the truth or lie.

According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. The ability to negotiate effectively is as signiﬁcant as technical skills

B. Candidates must study the job they are applying carefully before writing the CV.

C. Applicants should not apply for a distinct job from what they are doing

D. The information interviewees present should be related to the job they are applying.
