Not surprisingly, all surveys conducted in this field have shown that the companies with the largest budgets for training are usually far more successful than those with small training budgets.In spite of such surveys, too many business people remain suspicious of the need for training (8) Even where there is an emphasis on training, the whole question of sending people on courses is often mishandled (9) Although they seem happy to spend their company's money, they neglect to ask essential questions about the relevance of a particular course for their company.Some managers specify the type of course they want for a company employee but it is usually far too general (10) However, this does not imply that every successful training course should meet only limited, short-term objectives: (11) By that time, the individual may have outgrown the need for such skills or the company itself may have changed radically.Thus it is important to have a thorough discussion with both the individual attending a course and senior personnel in the company he or she represents (12) In addition, a built-in flexibility can prove usual for equipping someone with a better understanding of new skills and fresh approaches as technologies change or as the employee's job changes.A. Such business people argue that they have managed their companies very successfully without any training at all.B. Unfortunately, a number of managers, for instance, rush into this whole matter without enough careful thought beforehand.C. In this way, both short-term and long-term skills may be identified.D. On the other hand, they refuse to pay considerable sums to send their staff on courses.E. Where this is the case, the management skills acquired may be inappropriate after a few years.F. Too often they want a course aimed at an ill-defined average group rather than at specific development needs.G. In spite of such objectives, a training course can be very successful in meeting future needs.PART THREEQuestions 13--18· Read the article below about recruitin g and managing staff and the questions on the opposite page.· For each question 13--18, mark one letter (A, B, O or D) on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose.As a manager in the service industry sector, I've looked at hundreds of CVs in my time. They are not necessarily the bland documents, some bosses might think they are! They are full of little pointers towards individuals' personalities and suitability for the job. The first thing I always look at is an applicant's employment record. I check for continuity and stability. If somebody has a long list of previous jobs, all of varying length, alarm bells start ringing. Rather than an irregular route from job to job, what I hope to see is stable career progression. What does their career path look like-- is it all steps forward, or are there a lot of sideways moves? And I am always pleased to find a family person with children, because in my experience they tend to be responsible and reliable.I never rely on OVs alone. We get applicants to fill in one of our own application forms. We ask why they've applied, what their aspirations and personal goals are, and also about their interests and hobbies and any clubs they belong to. That gives you a useful insight into their personality and lifestyle. The application form also enables us to test how much people have actually been progressing in their careers, because we ask for details of the salaries they have received for each job.It's always worth looking at CVs and designing application forms with great care. Taking on employees might be rewarding, but it is also a big investment for any business. Mistakes in choosing staff can cost companies dear, so it makes sense to spend time ensuring you get the right person.In the service sector, one of the aims of companies is to maintain and improve customer service, and this is achieved partly through low staff turnover. You need to take on people who understand that and will want to stay. That's why, when you've taken staff on, the next thing is getting the best out of them.My management style comes from the days when I took over my first business, an ailing road haulage firm which I was certain I could turn into a profitable company. The first thing is to treat others as you'd like to be treated yourself. As soon as I took over the business, I talk to everybody individually, and looked for ways to make sure their particular skills benefited the company.I didn't have much experience then of managing people, but above all I always tried to be fair and honest with everyone. As a result, I think the staff knew that and accepted my decisions, even if they didn't agree with them all. Also, bosses must be able to communicate. You also need to create team spirit, and build on the strength of the team. I explained my plans for the company to all the staff, and let them all know what I needed from them. The lorry drivers responded brilliantly, and were the key to turning the business round. They understood that we had to develop a professional reputation, and from then on the days of poor quality deliveries were over.Lastly, I am a great believer in profit-sharing. It takes a team to make a company work, so profits should be shared by all. Job satisfaction is important, but it doesn't pay the rent. Shared profit and bonuses help to strengthen team spirit by giving everyone a common goal that they work towards, together.13. What fact does the writer hope to learn from applicants' CVs?A.
