　　For any job search, you should start with a narrow concept ... then broaden it... “There’s no career counseling implicit in all of this.” Instead, the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again. “I would not rely on agents for finding everything that is added to a database that might interest me,” says the author of a job-searching guide.
　　job search“职位搜索”；narrow concept“狭义的概念”；broaden“扩大（范围）”，broaden one’s horizon“开阔眼界”；counseling“咨询服务”；implicit“隐含其中的”；instead“相反”；strategy“策略”；tip service“提示服务”；keep abreast of“了解...的情况”；particular“特定的”，in particular“尤其，特别”；reminder“提醒，提示”；rely on“依赖”，也可以用depend on；add to“添加到”；guide“指南”。
　　... tempt job hunters to return... sends out messages to those who have signed up for its service, for example, it includes only three potential jobs -- those it considers the best matches... “... we see a sharp increase in our traffic,” ...

　　Even those who aren’t hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile. Some use them to keep a close watch on the demand for their line of work or gather information on compensation to arm themselves when negotiating for a raise. Although happily employed, Redmon maintains his agent at CareerBuilder. “You always keep your eyes open,” he says...
