這是一篇以跨國求職為說明對象的說明文章。開頭首先敘述一點事實：近年來跨國求職現(xiàn)象猛增(soared in recent years)，由此引出文章說明的中心。這一段只有一個句子，后半部分實際上是個省略了which的非限制性定語從句，完整形式應是which is enhanced by ……那么enhance(加強)的對象就是interest。由此，后半句的意義可以理解為“這種尋找國際工作的興趣又被……加強了”。
隨后的第二段簡要介紹了求職者進行跨國求職的幾點原因：嘗試新挑戰(zhàn)(recharge their batteries with a new challenge，以新的挑戰(zhàn)來為他們的電池充電。這是一種比喻說法。)，激發(fā)創(chuàng)造性(encourages creativity and initiative)，使孩子接觸其他文化、學外國語言(expose their children to another culture，learn a second language)。
介紹完原因之后，作者開始詳細講解跨國求職的主要工序：寫簡歷;并指出跨國求職簡歷的難點：embrace two or more cultures in one document，包容照顧兩種以上的文化。
最后的三段是作者針對如何解決這一難點提出的建議：
對教育水平的說明要詳細具體(details about your studies and any related experience)。
依據(jù)不同國家的慣常，來確定簡歷的格式(按時間由遠及近Chronological order，或由近及遠Reverse-chronological)。
若對方母語為英語，則要注意區(qū)別英式英語和美式英語(find out if the recipient uses British English or American English)。
