28、ume s.毕业生都在忙着写简历。你适合做这个工作吗？1. 过去，大学生活很轻松。那将是你一生中最美好的三年，你知道这一点。你是这样消磨 时光的：在咖啡馆和酒吧里与新结交的朋友聊到深夜，在壁球场和板球场上尽情地挥舞球拍，或是作为大学戏剧社的大腕在舞台上昂首阔步。不管你有什么爱好，大学生活都能为你创造条件。而且，别忘了，你的学习还总能跟得上，能完成指定的阅读，并在最后一分钟匆忙草 就那一周的文章。你唯一没有时间考虑的是过完这激动人心的三年后要做什么。不过这个问题并不需要考虑，因为无论选择什么职业，都有一大堆公司排着队来聘用你。2. 那是过去英国大学生校园生活的情形，现在情况已经改变了。最近一项对

29、英国各大跨 国公司的研究表明，即使拥有一个优良的学位，大学生再也不可能一毕业就得到最好的工作 了。今天的大学数量比 30年前翻了一番，40%的年轻人接受高等教育。由于并不缺少大学 毕业生，拥有一个优良的学位对找工作就变得尤其重要了。竞争很激烈，结果是如今的大学生花了比任何时候都要多的时间来复习功课，为那些可怕的期末考试做准备，做报酬低的兼职以偿还债务。3.然而，这恰恰是问题之所在。英国二百多家公司的经理认为，学生花在学习或挣钱维持生计上的时间太多了。 他们本应该去参加各种俱乐部，学习一些基本的技能， 如团队合作和现场演示。这些经理还说，他们宁可让职位空缺，也不愿意聘请那些缺乏必要技能，无法在国

30、际市场上占领商机的毕业生。4该怎么做才能解决这个问题呢？经理们相信，解决的办法就是在学位课程里增加社交能力的训练。有的大学已经开始这样做了， 例如南安普敦大学历史系学生必须做一个为期十二周、 六人一组协同工作的项目一一通常与当地的生活有关。项目内容包括：做一次演示、写一篇集体论文、做一项公众服务一一可以是给中、小学生讲课，或做一期有关中、小学教学的广播节目。5毫无疑问，这种合作学习法能帮助许多学生培养有助于改善就业前景的个人技能。公司在面试应聘者时使用的最有名的人格测试之一是“迈尔斯-布里格斯性格分类法”（简称MBTI）,这种分类法把外向/内向性格两分法置于它所分析的人格特征列表之首。测试中没

31、 有“正确答案”，但是它认为：性格外向者更适合做团队工作或与他人打交道的工作。6南安普敦大学项目中同样有趣的一个理念是：学生应该关注比校园更广阔的社区，并设法为之做出自己的贡献。在当今越来越小的世界里，学生们越来越清楚地意识到大学并不是与社会现实问题完全脱钩的学术象牙塔。正相反，大学本身可以促使世界变得更加美好。在学学位课程之前、期间、之后，学生们都可以通过多种渠道成为志愿者。正如我们所知，大学 课程需要学生花费大量的时间，一般人会选择腾出上大学前或大学毕业后的一年时间作为实践年。7通常，志愿者工作指帮助病人或老年人、在假日营里招待贫困儿童、在第三世界国家教书，或者做农业或环境研究项目。8对那

32、些选择在这些方面施展才能的学生而言，还有个意外的收获：可以把他们获取的丰富经验写进个人履历里，而未来的雇主是不会不注意到这些经验的。不过提醒一句：你应该记住自己的首要目的是什么。曾经在巴布亚新几内亚工作了两年的谢恩欧文指出：“志愿者的工作能教给你宝贵的职业技能，但我认为你不应该只想着通过志愿者工作来给自己的履历表增添光彩一一你做志愿工作的主要原因是因为你想帮助别人。”3.

48、事， 希望能帮你判 断志愿工作是否适合你。莉萨金斯堡在南加州大学读书期间经常参加志愿活动，这使她产生了去孟加拉国当两 周和平志愿者的想法。作为志愿者你做了些什么工作？在哪里工作？1我与和平志愿者一同前往孟加拉国，我们在达卡集合，然后坐八小时的长途车到迪纳杰布尔村。和平志愿者与迪纳杰布尔村当地的一家机构并肩工作，我们帮他们搭建每年一度的白内障治疗营地，为当地老年白内障患者免费做手术，或为有需求的人检查眼疾。 我们帮他们在学校里安装设备，打扫环境，将教室变成外科手术室，称为“手术教室”头两天帮忙做眼科手术， 后五天在白内障营地帮忙。 在诊所的最后一天， 我们帮着给患者解 除绷带，每位患者都得到一副

49、特配眼镜，不过他们得到的眼镜都是一模一样的。其他的工作还包括修建厕所。我们骑自行车或摩托车去了不同的村庄，在地上挖个坑把蹲式马桶和水泥环放进去。志愿工作与在国外旅游或工作有何不同？2 我不得不承认这项工作比较辛苦。 过去我出去旅游都住在青年旅社， 条件还不错，因为 环境相当整洁干净。做志愿工作时，我有时要打扫厕所。有时候我会问自己：“我到底到这儿来干什么？我宁可干别的事儿。”我不得不承认有时生活条件也有很大的不同。床只是一块木板，连床垫都没有。我们也无法享受旅游的灵活性。当你单独或和别人一起旅游时，你喜欢做什么就做什么，累了就休息。但这是工作，我们得早早起床干活，但很有乐趣。你出发前觉得志愿工

50、作是什么样的？对它有什么期待？你的看法有改变吗？3 我觉得志愿工作符合我的期望。我从小就想当医生，这也是我选择医疗作为志愿项目的原因。其他项目有做研究的，也有做考古挖掘的，但是我想和医疗工作者和医生一起工作，而这正是我所做的工作。你参加的志愿活动要求志愿者付参加费，对于免费为别人工作还要自己掏钱，你是怎么想的？4 我其实从来没有想过必须自己掏钱这件事。这不像我每周都参加的业余爱好，我当然知道我要做的事情会有一些花费，我攒钱的目的就是为了这个，因为我真的很想去，我对这个项目充满热情。虽然到世界的那个角落旅费很贵，但我从来就没觉得那是个负担，我只是提前计划并为此攒钱。对于志愿者组织的有效性有很多争

51、议，你认为你的加入给这个组织带来什么变化了吗？在哪些方面？5 我不知道我是否带来了什么变化，可我在出发之前就知道：在两周的时间内我不可能改变世界。 我知道， 他们非常高兴地看到美国和其他国家的人愿意帮助他们，我们花时间来为他们做些事情，这让他们很高兴。离开医院和学校操场时，他们有的人都哭了。我们在短短的几天内建立了感情。你在志愿者工作中经历的最糟糕和最好的事是什么？6 我这个项目里最糟糕的事情是等待。因为项目主任对某些事情没把握，没有事先计划好，让我们做了很多不必要的等待。他们做事不太有条理，如果地方机构与和平志愿者组织之间能够更好地相互沟通的话，事情就会顺利一些。最好的经历是与其他志愿者建立

52、友情，地方机构尽量给我们分配不同工种的活。我们玩得痛快，干得卖力。我们走访了许多民居、家庭和学校，并结识了很多当地人。每当想起骑车穿过稻田应邀去当地人家喝茶时的情景，我就会发自内心地微笑。Keys3. Choose the best answer to the questions.1. c2. c3. b4. d5. d6. c4.
