美國新聞媒體CNN旗下的CNNMoney近期調查了全球大學生最想進入工作的企業，本文節錄三間年輕人最嚮往的知名公司，搭配徵才主管對於應屆畢業大學生和社會新鮮人的公開建議，帶讀者以英文思維了解各知名企業所要招募的人才 。
閱讀本文前，先來學習焦點生字：
1. grad (n) :（大學/應屆）畢業生：美式英文口語會話中有許多拼字的刪節，大學畢業生graduate縮寫為grad即是一例。
2. geek (n): 書呆子。類似用字還有nerd。科技業常自嘲其員工都來自天才行的書呆子與宅男。甚至微軟在美國西雅圖的總部，紀念品販賣中心銷售印有geek字樣的各式紀念品。
3. start-ups: 創業。動詞片語start up (a business or a company)的名詞用法。
4. passionate: 熱情的。passion 是名詞。passionate 才是形容詞, 意思等於enthusiastic 熱情的。
What are the following world top employers looking for?
下面幾家全球知名企業，要找什麼樣的人才？
1. Microsoft 微軟
To impress recruiters, show you’re someone who “lives the lifestyle of a geek, besides being a geek in the classroom,” says Microsoft recruiter Anthony Rotoli. So join those hacker groups at campus and work on tech start-ups if you can.” “Every six months commit yourself to doing something that will help you grow outside of the classroom,” Rotoli advises.
要獲得青睞，你得「活得像個天才怪胎，而不是只在課堂上當書呆子。」微軟徵才主管如此建議。在校園裡就加入骇客等電腦團體，可能的話，甚至著手進行科技創業。每六個月投入一項事物，讓自己能在教室外有確實的成長。
2. KPMG 會計師事務所
Half of KPMG’s full-time hires come through its internship program, says the executive director of campus recruiting. Recruiters look for candidates with global experience (i.e., studying a career-relevant topic abroad) as well as extracurricular activities that demonstrate leadership savvy.
KPMG 校園徵才的執行主管表示，近一半正職員工來自於實習部門。所要招募的人才得有國際觀（有和求職領域相關的國外求學經驗），並有課外活動經驗來展現領袖氣質。
3. Apple 蘋果
Recruiters are looking for perfectionists, idealists and inventors, according to its careers site. Apple values people who are passionate about every detail and constantly searching for ways to make things better.
根據蘋果的求職網站，徵才人員正在尋找完美主義者、理想主義者和發明家。對於細節熱情、並持續追求卓越的人，是蘋果看重的人才。
