B.      Procedures involved in recruitment’

C.      Hints to follow while taking tests

D.     Disadvantages of interviews for recruitment

E.      Importance of interview

F.      Adoption of psychological tests to hire employees

Nowadays more and more foreign enterprises and companies are no longer relying on interviews for recruitment.  Years of studying interviewing has made clear that it is not a very objective process.  Personnel officers often hire the person they like best or even the one they think most physically attractive.  Looking good is no guarantee of doing the job well.

81.

To get a more objective view, many companies are also using psychological tests, to hire both for relatively routine job and for positions at senior levels of management.  It is impossible to say how many employers use tests, but estimates of test sales in the U.K. for 2001 were over one million.

82.

Recruitment can involve steps in two ways.  Step 1 is always the same: job application.  The company decides whether you might be suitable based on your qualifications and your previous job experience.  Step 2 can be screening.  A specific test is given at this stage to rule out those who might not be worth interviewing.  Some large employers use tests ---especially IQ based tests precisely to eliminate the unsuitable.  Only those who pass Step 2 go to the interview.  Step 2 can also be testing and interview combined. If the company thinks you might be suitable after looking at your application, they ask you to come to be tested and to be interviewed. It is seen very much as part of the same step.

83.

Tests claim to be scientific and objective.  A large body of research has shown that interviews by themselves are not very reliable as a method of selection.  People’s judgments are often very subjective: whether they like the look of someone counts for more than almost anything else.  But reliable and valid tests can offer rapid and more objective information about would-be employees.  If a candidate talks well in an interview but his test results suggest that he is a careless person who cannot concentrate, and employer is likely to think twice about hiring him.

84.

Taking a serious test for a job is rather different form taking a game-like test.  You can spend just a little time answering questions of that kind of test, and you can deny the answers and say they are not accurate.  But you can not go to a serious test without enough preparation since you can not afford to be denied and eliminated again and again.  What can you do to do justice to yourself in tests?  Here are three tips: Understand, Analyze, Practice.

Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

A. Reasons for the use of Podcasting

B. Definition and origin of Podcast

C. Importance of Podcasting at school

D. Advantage of Podcasts over other audio media

E. Podcasts—a further step from voice recordings

F. Devices needed for Podcasting

_______

Recently a group of second-graders visited our school library to work on a “holidays around the world” project. The children created pictures showing holiday customs and then created voice recordings explaining what they drew. The incident showed very clearly the effectiveness of student-created voice recordings. Now imagine taking things one step further and creating Podcasts in a classroom setting.

________

The term Podcast refers to an audio recording, linked to the Web, that can be downloaded to a personal MP3 player. The word is created from broadcast and from iPod ---the wildly popular MP3 player from Apple.

________

Using audio with students isn’t new, of course. Teachers have used audiobooks at listening centers and recorded student voice on tape or CD for many years. Voice and music are the original media for teaching. Podcasts, however, can reach a much wider audience in a time frame outside the school days. Booktalking, an old way of getting kids excited about books, gets a tech assistance with Podcasting. Students can do some booktalking themselves; book review Podcasts seem to be another natural way for students to share what they know, providing an alternative to the book report.

________

    There are a number of excellent reasons for using Podcasting. Teachers made audio Podcasts, including visuals or video clips for any content area instruction and review. Some teachers have begun to record themselves teaching important concepts; this creates an account of information online for kids to access when they’re stuck on a homework assignment. Audio and video files can also function as assessment tools. Imagine being a classroom teacher in September who can actually hear how his or her students were reading in June the school year before.

________

You don’t need an iPod to make a Podcast. If you have a computer, a microphone, and some free software, you can make a Podcast. While an MP3 player is a popular and useful gadget, your audience doesn’t need MP3 players to listen, either: your students and their families can use the computer to play back what you’ve recorded.
