My newly-rented small apartment was far away from the centre of London and it was becoming essential for me to find a job, so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking for guards, not drivers. This suited me. I couldn’t drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train, and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had been doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company. I’d be a subway guard. I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis. Obviously I’d be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges — those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre.
The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have done all right because after about half an hour’s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The interviewer sat at a desk. Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed, after a greater or shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half.
I can remember the questions now: “Why did you leave your last job?” “Why did you leave your job before that?” “And the one before that?” I can’t recall my answers, except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought, revealed (揭示) a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the underground railway. “You’ve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position.”
Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually, such jobs — being a postman is another one I still desire — demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still far short of full self-understanding. I was also short of cash.
The writer applied for the job chiefly because _________.
A．he wanted to work in the centre of London
B．he could no longer afford to live without one
C．he was not interested in any other available job
D．he had received some suitable training
The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because _________.
A．he often traveled underground B．he had written many poems
C．he could deal with difficult situations D．he had worked in a company
The length of his interview meant that _________.
A．he was not going to be offered the job
B．he had not done well in the intelligence test
C．he did not like the interviewer at all
D．he had little work experience to talk about
What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then?
A．How unpleasant ordinary jobs can be. B．How difficult it is to be a poet.
C．How unsuitable he was for the job. D．How badly he did in the interview.

Tips for Successful Career Planning
Before we start Career Planning with anything, there are pretty a few points related to career planning that we need to look into. Consider these few easy points to help you choose what your plan of action should be towards shaping your future successfully.
1.________
Simply put: what’s important to you? Do you value freedom? Do you like independence? Or working as a member of a team? Do you like structure? Or lack of structure? Working a lot of hours? Or working flexible hours? Do you want a job with a considerable paycheck? Or a job that provides significance to your life? These are all critical questions that you must be able to answer because they will affect both your short and long-term happiness.
2.________
Too often people choose the wrong careers because they don’t know the variety of jobs that exist within their field of study. Time spent properly studying the profession that you intend to undertake, and the field you wish to enter, is vital. Part of this study should include conducting informational interviews with people who do what you would like to do for a living, visiting websites that contain blogs that are written by people in your elected field, and reading employment magazines that contain stories about the movers and shakers in your industry.
3.________
When choosing a career, think the sort of environment that you feel most joyful in. Are you the kind of person who works better with people or with objects? Do you prefer motion and activity, or calm and quiet? You’re more likely to do well in your career when you are in a comfortable environment.
4.________
Build up a roadmap for your job and career achievement. A main part of career planning is setting short-term (in the coming year) and long-term (beyond a year) career and job aims. Once you begin this process, another part of career planning becomes reviewing and adjusting those aims as your career plans improvement or change — and developing new aims once you complete your earlier one.
5.________
Simply put: there is no alternate for experience. You need to get as much of it as rapidly as you can. Interning is a win-win plan for you and a prospective employer because they get free labor, and you get valuable experience. Without this experience, you remain idealistic if not unrealistic about the true-to-life rigors of the profession, and of the industry you want to work in. Gaining experience will help to prove your interests and pursuits, or help to re-direct them.
These simple steps can help you get the maximum understanding with respect to how to start career planning ahead of time as to what can be a good career option for you and how you can go about it in the best possible way. Best of luck in all of your career efforts!

If you’re finding it tough to land a job, try expanding your job-hunting plan to include the following:
Set your target.
While you should always keep your options open to changing your mind , you should also be sure to target exactly what you want in a job. A job-hunt with a clear target will surely help you achieve better results than an aimless one.
Schedule plenty of interviews.
Use every possible method to get interviews-answering ads, using search firms , getting in touch with companies directly , surfing the Web, and networking(向同行请教 ). Even if a job is not perfect for you, every interview can become one of your positive experiences.
Follow up
Even if someone does not hire you ,write them a thank –you note for the interview. Then, some weeks later, send another brief letter to explain that you still have not found the perfect position and that you will be available to interview again if the original position you applied for—or any other position , for that matter –is open. Do this with every position you interview for, and you may just catch a break!
Make it your full-time job
You can’t find a job by looking sporadically( 断续地) . You have to make time for it. If you’re unemployed and looking , devote as much time as you would to a full –time job. If you have a job while you’re looking, figure out an organized schedule to maximize your searching time.
Network vertically(纵向地 )
In the search stage of your job hunt , talk to people who are on a level above you in your desired industry. They’ll have an accurate and deep understanding that people at your level won’t have , and will be in a good position to hire you or recommend you to be hired .
Keep your spirits up
