Section A
Dream Jobs: College Students Make Their Picks
Where do you want to work? A new survey suggests that the answer depends to a large extent
on if you’re an entrepreneur, an idealist, or a leader.
For recent college graduates, finding a job is a lot like finding a match when dating.
Personality (yours and theirs) plays a major role. Everybody wants a genuine connection, and a
little arm candy doesn’t hurt. If job hunting were indeed The Dating Game1, Google would be the
most eligible bachelor among all sorts of personality types. Apple and Walt Disney wouldn’t be far
behind.
In its annual survey of U.S. college students, the research firm Universum USA2 asked its
more than 60 000 respondents to identify the characteristics they associate with dream employers,
and broke down the results into seven personality types. Careerists are looking for a prestigious
brand name and employers who recruit only the best and brightest; entrepreneurs want to work for
fast-growing companies with a creative work environment; explorers are looking for challenging
work and a variety of assignments; harmonizers are seeking work / life balance and secure
employment; hunters are attracted by competitive base salaries and good prospects for future
earnings; idealists are drawn to friendly work environments and high ethical standards; and
leaders want leadership opportunities and mentors.
Universum then asked the students to identify the five employers they would most like to
work for. Universum didn’t designate an overall winner, but Google — which took the top spot
in each of the past four years — is still the big favorite, taking the No. 1 spot in five of the
personality types and taking a top-three spot in all seven. Apple is in the top three with six of the
personality types, and Disney is in the top three for five, including idealists, who ranked it No.1
ahead of Google.
Allure of Opportunity
“Diversity is critical to our business and culture,” says Kyle Ewing, talent and outreach
4
programs manager at Google in Mountain View, Calif 3. “The employees must reflect our users.
That means hiring those with a diversity of thought, background, beliefs, and ethnicity. But it is
the challenging work that attracts so many people to Google.”
Banks Down, Government Up
Looking beyond Google, the 2011 list of most attractive employers has its share of surprises.
For starters, banks, oil companies, and the Big Four accounting firms4 lost some of their luster
among business students. The role banks played in the financial crisis and the environmental and
economic consequences of the BP oil spill5 disaster in the Gulf of Mexico may have played a role.
In addition, government and nonprofit employers, which accounted for half the top 10
employers for all seven personality types, had a good year, too. CIA and FBI took the No. 1 and
No. 2 spots among careerists, who ranked government organizations above all others, with the
U.N., the U.S. State Dept., and National Security Agency also among the top 20 in that category.
Other Appealing Companies
While careerists see the government as a ticket to achievement, idealists see Disney as
perhaps the happiest place on earth — at least for employees. Disney offers individuals more
than just a job. The training and ongoing development the employees receive to further their
careers is excellent. There are significant opportunities to network with key leaders within the
organization, and unlimited opportunities to grow and move within the company.
Apple, which came in second overall among business students, advanced up the rankings for
six of the seven personality types. One likely reason for the company’s attractiveness to young
people is its popular phones, music players, and tablets, as well as its reputation for having a
creative work environment, says Petter Nylander, chief executive of Universum in Stockholm.
If the survey makes one thing clear, it’s that young people want employers who share their
values and are a good fit for their personality, says Nylander. “What you see is young employees
selecting companies that confirm their views of themselves,”he says. “Your identity today is built
on where you work. It sends a strong message about who you are.”
1. What does the author mean by saying “finding a job is a lot like finding a match when
dating”?
A. Finding a dream employer is a long and hard process for college graduates.
B. It is almost impossible for one to find a perfect match in today’s world.
C. Job hunters should take the personality problem seriously to avoid being cheated.
D. In job hunting everyone hopes to find an employer that fits one’s personality.
2. About different personality types, which of the following is not true according to the
passage?
A. Explorers like challenging work and a variety of assignments.
B. Hunters attach great importance to good salaries and earnings.
C.Idealists look for work / life balance and secure environment.
D.Leaders seek companies where they have opportunities to lead.
3. What makes Google attractive to so many young people according to Kyle Ewing?
A. The brand name of Google.
B. The challenging work in Google.
C. The excellent work environment in Google.
D.The diversity of culture of Google.
4. We can infer from the survey that banks and oil companies __________.
5
A. find it hard to recruit new employers from the college graduates
B. tend to pay their new employees much less than before
C. are not so popular with college graduates as they were in the past
D. are more profitable than other businesses and industries
5. The strong message the survey made clear is that young people today want employers who
__________.
A.are a good fit for their personality
B.share their identity in every way
C. offer desirable salaries and work environment
D. allow them to work wherever they like
Section B
Finding a Balance
"With a common-sense approach to food, I satisfy my hunger and don't feel deprived."
I was a chubby kid who grew into an overweight adult. I was constantly teased for being
heavier than the other kids, leaving me feeling shy and self-conscious. I tried several diets, but
none worked, and I ended up gaining weight. Another factor contributing to my weight gain was
my love for cooking, especially rich, high-fat desserts, which I enjoyed preparing and, of course,
eating.
When I finished high school at age 18, I weighed 215 pounds. Lacking the self-confidence to go
to a new, faraway school, I decided to stay close to home instead of going away to college. I
continued with my unhealthful eating habits and felt more miserable as the weight came on, but I
did nothing about it except buy larger plus-size clothes.
My turning point came 10 years later at a friend’s New Year’s Eve party when I was at my
all-time highest weight of 330 pounds. I caught my reflection in a mirror and the truth hit me: I
was overweight and unhealthy, and unless I did something about it now, I would only get bigger
and unhappier.
After leaving the party, I thought about my past weight-loss efforts and realized they didn’t
work because they required me to give up foods I loved. Then I would constantly think about food
and binge, abandoning the diet altogether. If I took a common-sense approach and ate smaller
portions of all foods, I would be able to satisfy my hunger and not feel deprived.
My biggest challenge was finding a way to fit my passion for cooking into my healthier
lifestyle. At first, I tried to stay away from the kitchen to prevent myself from thinking about food.
The result: Food was all I thought about.There had to be some way to combine cooking with
healthful eating. I found the solution after reading several low-fat cookbooks. With some trial and
error, I could modify my favorite foods and make them low in fat, yet delicious.
The pounds started coming off, and when I started exercising (usually cardio and weight
training five times a week), they seemed to melt away. I didn’t feel deprived, and I felt free to
give my body the care and attention it deserved.
I lost 165 pounds over the next two years. I had many ups and downs —including plateaus —
but I was determined to stay on track. Another challenge to me was not to beat myself up if I ate
something that was unhealthy and to take it as a sign to abandon my healthful habits. Instead, I
vowed to start again and always keep my goal in mind.
Thanks to losing weight and becoming fit I am in tune with my body and myself. My dream is
to help others realize the ease and benefits of low-fat cooking and eating. I’ve created and
6
published a book of low-fat recipes and run workshops and seminars on healthful eating. Now that
I know what I can achieve when I set my mind to it, my dreams are no longer out of reach. I have
finally found myself.
