Is an internship really all that important? {{/B}}
In years past,it was more common for college students to take summer jobs
at local retail outlets or restaurants just fo earn money,said John
A.Challenger,chief executive of Challenger Gray & Christmas.But now an
internship is seem as a votal first career step,he said.It can be extremely
important as a way to determine which industries,companies and types of work are
best for you,and as a way to secure future references and job offers.
Once starting an internship,make the most of it.Above all.be
realistic.Some people approach internships with a sense of entitlement,said Mark
Oldman,founder of Vault,a career Web site,and the author of several books on
internships.He added.‘it's hard to go from a campus hot stuff to a corporate
layman,and it's ridicuious when some interns want to come in and change
everything.’{{U}} (9) {{/U}}. If you feel clueless,use
that to your advantage.{{U}} (10) {{/U}}.Interns generally have more
freedom than the average employee to pass across departments and hierarchies in
search of help.They can gain valuable knowledge and mentors,because most people
enjoy sharing their experience with a younger generation. In
general,Mr.Oldman said,‘It's important for an intern to quickly decode the
culture of the company and not step outside that.’That extends to the way you
dress,Mr.Challenger said.‘A lot of times when you’re younger you want to show
how unique you are rather than identify with others,’he said.{{U}} (11)
{{/U}}. In the opinion of Mr.Oldman,internships are an
ideal way for employers to find out whether a new worker is suitable for a
particular job.{{U}} (12) {{/U}}.Therefore,as an intern,when you are
asked to perform tasks that are boring and unimportant,you shouldn't feel
wronged by that.You should be willing to do such work because that shows you are
a hard worker,said Mr.Oldman.{{U}} (13) {{/U}}.‘Look for work,but do it
gently or indirectly,and not too assertively,’Mr.Oldman added.‘do what's asked
of you optimally and then offer your services for additional projects.’
Last but not least,there's something you can do to improve the
chances that your internship will lead to a job offer.Before you leave,‘build a
bridge to the future,’Mr.Oldman said.Go over what you learned with your
managers.and tell them how much you appreciated the opportunity to work with
them.{{U}} (14) {{/U}}.That way,even if your internship does not lead to
a job at that company,it will help clear a path to your eventual employer.
A.They enable employers to see who works hard,who gets along
with everybody,who seems to fit Into their culture. B.And ask
whether your managers would be willing to write a letter of recommendation
before you leave. C.It is much more appropriate to approach the
internship with a learning attitude,as suggested by Mr.Oldman.
D.Many interns don't attach sufficient importance to this
E.At the same time.be on the lookout for projects that will let you make
good use of more advanced skills. F.The power of curious
interns can’t be overestimated. G.In the workplace,however,you
tend to be judged by your willingness to fit into the group's norms.
H.But now an internship is seen as a vital first career step,he
said。

{{B}}How to Handle Customers' Complaints{{/B}}...
Complainers can damage a company faster than you can say "I'm sorry." But the
companies with savvy are turning them into loyal buyers. Fred Jerome survived a
frequent flyer's nightmare. Boarding at 9:30 Pan Am shuttle in New York one
morning, he expected to arrive in Boston in plenty of time for an afternoon of
business meetings. However Logan Airport was blanketed in fog and the pi- lot
circled for two hours before landing in Hartford Connecticut, to refuel. "No one
may leave the plane" the pilot announced, frustrating passengers who wished to
switch to a rental car or use a telephone. When he then said he was returning to
La Guardia Airport some passengers protested in fury. He relented and finally
landed in Boston about 4pm. Jerome caught a flight home and arrived in New York
at 6.30. His day was ruined and he was exhausted and angry.
What should the company do for angry customers? to those who have tackled the
issue almost anything it can.{{U}} (9) {{/U}}Simply listening to
complaints boosts brand loyalty that is, a customer's tendency to buy again.
"The key is getting customers to complain to the company rather than just to
their friends", says John Goodman president of a consulting firm that has been
studying corporate complainers for over a decade.{{U}} (10) {{/U}}The
average return for makers of consumer durables like washing machines and
refrigerators is 100%. In other words, if manufacturers spend $1 million on
handling complaints, they get $2 million in benefits. For banks it is as much as
170%. The payoff can be even higher in retailing where top quality service is
essential for keeping customers. Maryanne Rasmussen, vice president in charge of
world-wide quality at American Express says, "The formula I use is' Better com-
plaint handling equals higher customer satisfaction equals higher brand loyalty
equals higher profitability."The growing evidence that customer happiness
affects the Profits and Loss report is one reason that firms like Coca-Cola and
British Airways have invested billions of dollars to improve complaint
handling.{{U}} (11) {{/U}}Pan Am's response to Fred Jerome was a
case study of how not to handle complaints, At the end of Jerome's 9 hour
ordeal, a Pan Am steward advised him to complain to the customer service unit at
the airline's New York Headquarters. Jerome went to the headquarters only to be
told that Pan Am's LaGuardia Airport office handles complaints about the shuttle
service.{{U}} (12) {{/U}}He finally reached a representative who told
him coldly, We are not responsible for delays caused by the weather.Jerome
expressed his frustration by writing a column for the New York Times.{{U}}
(13) {{/U}}John Siefert, a vice. president of the Eastern Air Lines
shuttle, sent Jerome a sympathetic letter of. fering him a free flight. Jerome
declined. I would have been happy with an apology from Pan Am he says. Pan Am
Says it wrote to Jerome. He says he still has not heard from the airline and now
will fly the Pan Am shuttle only as a last resort.{{U}}(14)
{{/U}}80% of complaints are from travelers who are dissatisfied with the
airlines' responses to problems. Interestingly the three airlines including Pan
Am, and Eastern which lest the most money last year also attract the most
consumer complaints. Far fewer complaints come from fliers on the healthiest US
airlines. Dan Smith director of consumer affairs at the International Airline
Passengers Association in Dallas, says these carriers satisfy unhappy clients by
always giving a full explanation if they can' t comply with a request for
action.A What should the company do for angry customers?B Studies show
customers tell twice as many people about bad experience as good ones, so
complainers who are left unhappy can ruin a company's image.C Customers seem
to appreciate companies more if top managers hear their complaints.D some 20
letters and calls from other annoyed air travelers.E The person he tried to
contact at the airport was not there, and omitted to reply to a message Jerome
left.F The firm used dozens of business factors to calculate the return on
investment involved in a company establishing service units that handle
complaints and inquiries.G In the airline industry, the correlation
between customer contentment and profitability is strong.H Programs include
intensive staff training, liberal refund policies and ways of helping customers
make complaints to the company like free phone calls.
填空题President, executives and activists hope that new reporting requirements and auditing rules will reassure global investors.
填空题We should be obliged if ______
填空题An insurance policy which covers goods being taken from A to B.
填空题A Executives are coming to understand that they can't meet their corporate responsibility simply by maximizing shareholder value. Last year Price water house Coopers surveyed 1,161 chief executive officers of companies from 33 countries. Some 68 percent of those polled said that global corporate responsibility was vital to profitability. Meanwhile citizens around the world have become more vocal in demanding that global business beheld accountable for conduct that could undermine social, environmental or economic progress. B Although markets have encouraged more firms to act in a responsible manner in the global economy, market forces have not been sufficient to ensure responsible behavior all of the time. Moreover, the responsible firms that work harder to ensure that workers or the environment are treated well as they make goods and services could have higher costs, which may allow other competitors to gain market share. The right mix of public policies can ensure that responsible firms are not penalized. C Washington, D. C is drowning in paper. Congress has voted on proposals to promote corporate responsibility. Meanwhile, the President, executives and activists are all scurrying about in search of additional proposals to make executives more accountable for their companies' financial reports. Given that capitalism today is global as well as local, the US must work with its allies to write international corporate governance norms. But we need to use this opportunity to think more broadly about how to reassure global economic confidence long term. All of the reform efforts to date focus on a narrow definition of corporate responsibility. President Bush acknowledged in his July 9th speech, "There is no capitalism without conscience." That is why the ultimate reform would encourage corporations to also act responsibility towards their workers and the environment. D The codes, including ones promoted by the Department of State-the Voluntary Principles for Security and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines, are designed to help business protect human rights in nations with poor human rights records. Corporate social responsibility policies can also include EPA regulations that require corporations to report on their global environmental liabilities. After all, the costs of cleaning up can be a major drain on corporate profits. But these policies are not well coordinated or known as CSR policies. Were someone to compile an overview, we might gain a greater understanding of how such policies can be made more effective. But there are some policies including tax policies that encourage firms to shift production or their headquarters to nations with weaker fiscal or regulatory systems. Other policies that may undermine global corporate responsibility include corporate welfare and agricultural protectionism. E The French government recently overhauled French corporate law and mandated the disclosure of companies' social and environmental as well as profit performance. This is a good idea. The British require pension funds to report on the social, environmental, as well as profit performance of their investments. The Canadian government is also examining a wide range of public policies to promote CSR. Perhaps the most interesting development was that in 2001, with funding from the Atkinson Foundation, five private citizens organized a commission on democracy and accountability. Their final report issued 25 specific policy recommendations on promoting global and domestic CSR.
