However, in the past four years the job market has changed dramatically. This year scollege graduates are facing one of the worst job markets in years.Four years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2003. There were many high-tech “( dot com”)job opportunities, graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance and paid vacations. However, “ Times have changIet d. asnew market, ” accordingCtoheryl Allmen-Vinnidge of the San Jose State Career Center.Allmen-Vinnidge says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several internships, and they majored in fields that are still paying well, such as accounting or nursing.In conclusion, these days a college degree does not automatically lead to a good job with a high salary. Some students can only hope that the value of their degree will increase in the future.Follow-up Notes:San JoseState University is in San Jose, CaliforniaA “ dotcom” is a company whose operations are mostly Internet-based. The term comes from the Internet address of such companies. For example, is read as “ wwmwic.rosoft. com.” In the 1990s thousands of new dot corns started up, opening up work opportunities for many thousands of college graduates. Many of these companies eventually failed.No wonder the days when graduates were assigned with good jobs are long gone, and now every year thousands of college students swarmed into competitive job-hunting markets with their diplomas and certifications.Generally speaking, they should get some internship experience in companies apart from social activities on campus before graduating from university, job-hunting abilitiesORAL TEST FOR ENGLISH MAJORS (2004)-GRADE EIGHTTask One: Interpreting from English into ChineseDirections: Please do not do interpreting when you listen to the speech this time.
