Question 621

IBPS Clerk 2023• General English• General English

**Directions: Read the given passage carefully to answer the following questions.

Each question will have five alternatives as its answer. Choose the correct option as your answer.**

The transition from academia to the job market marks a pivotal moment for fresh graduates, as they step into their professional journey armed with knowledge, ambition, and a thirst for new challenges. In today's digitally advanced era, the job-hunting landscape has transformed significantly, but unfortunately, it has also witnessed a troubling surge in job scams. According to a recent Hirect report, 56% of Indian job seekers have fallen victim to scams during their search. Particularly vulnerable are those between 20 and 29 years old, targeted by scammers employing a strategic approach, and making enticing promises on behalf of entirely fictitious companies. These scams often involve sharing fraudulent bank account numbers and convincing candidates to deposit a sum as an advance payment, leading to substantial losses and compromising confidential information.

Job scams have taken various forms, including fake postings on emails and work-from-home options that look inviting, leading candidates to pay enrollment fees for registration. Scammers also exploit social media platforms, creating counterfeit websites and using various channels to attract potential applicants. Fraudulent calls involve scammers impersonating employers, and soliciting money from unsuspecting job seekers. To combat these scams, students must safeguard their privacy online, utilizing tools like antivirus software, password managers, and ad blockers to prevent scams and attacks. Reporting phishing emails promptly is essential to stop further scams and protect personal information.

Students can also employ several strategies to identify and avoid job scams. Checking the legitimacy of URLs is crucial, as scam emails often come from abrupt addresses, while legitimate companies use official URLs with their precise name. Thorough screening processes, involving multiple rounds of interviews conducted by a Human Resources department, are standard for reputable companies. Any job offer that skips these processes should be treated with caution. Research and Dispersion (R and D) are key, as candidates must investigate job postings and share accurate information to reduce the rate of scams. Being vigilant, making informed decisions, and taking proactive steps are essential in creating a safer job market for individuals and organizations alike.

While Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has suffered a reputational crisis for several years due to the Cambridge Analytica scandal and Facebook’s poor user privacy track record, Twitter owner Elon Musk’s recent comments and actions have helped present Zuckerberg as a more competent tech company head. As Meta unrolled its text-based conversation app Threads, Musk’s lawyer threatened to sue Zuckerberg while the Tesla billionaire called him names and urged him to fight. Zuckerberg’s responses, for the most part, were more mature and less aggressive in tone. With Threads seeing around 100 million sign-ups within a week of launching even as Twitter users struggle with daily tweet reading limits, Zuckerberg’s critics are also starting to rethink their assessment of him and Meta’s thorny relationship with regulators.

As children, we used to go to our maternal grandmother’s house for 12 to 15 days during the summer.

No study, only play. Rarely did anyone have an air conditioner at that time. The power cuts were frequent then. As a result, we all used to sleep on the terrace under the starry nights, keeping an earthen pot of water to quench our thirst. The ice cream vendor was an important figure during summer. Early-morning park visits, Sunday picnics, and Nani’s special brunch with siblings doubled our enjoyment. The days passed on so fast that we all siblings eagerly wait for the next summer once the vacation is over. We never wanted to return to a routine life full of rush and competition.

From anthropocentrism to technocentrism, humanity’s journey of multifarious triumphs is certainly worth reveling in. I am no conservationist to talk about the impacts of this progression on the planet, but I am concerned about how its ramifications could be on the skill-building of the students of the 21st century. Ever since ChatGPT was made available, there have been debates on its benefits and limitations for people from different walks of life, especially academics.
