32、educationCThe term “rsum” means a document describing ones educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines (指南) for preparing a global rsum are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate (适当的) regarding the company culture, the country culture
33、, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The following list is a good place to start.l In many countries, it is standard procedure to attach a photo or have your photo printed on your rsum. Do not attach a photograph to your rsum if you are sending it to the United States, though.
34、l Educational requirements differ from country to country. In most cases of “cross-border” job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be enough.

35、al (时间的) or reverse-chronological order.

36、untry. Even if a company or individual lists an e-mail address, there is no guarantee that they will actually receive your email.

Most companies will want to see and hear proof of your language skills.l Be aware that paper sizes are different in different countries. The United States standard is
39、 8 by 11 inches, while the European A4 standard is 21 by 29.7 centimeters. When you send your rsum by email, reformat it to the receivers standard. Otherwise, when it is printed out, half of your material may be missing!39. The passage is most probably intended for _.A. job hunters that seek careers

Jakes IQ measured remarkably high at 170.As a baby, Jake was found out with Aspersers syndrome, a form of autism (孤独症). Autism causes difficulties in communication and social a
45、bilities. People with autism may also have strong interests like Jakes interest in the stars at a young age.The symptoms of autism can range from mild to extremely severe. Aspersers is one of the milder forms of autism. Sometimes people with Aspersers, like Jake, develop extremely advanced skills in
46、 science, music or art.When Jake was in elementary school, his parents worried that the effects of his Aspersers were worsening. He became quiet. And he was withdrawing from people.
