个人情况
Many often find themselves considering jobs below their skill level in worsening employment markets. But it turns out that working in a job below your skill level harms your later chances of getting hired for a better-paying job more appropriate to your qualifications.
Sociologist David Pedulla at the University of Texas conducted a study to examine how jobs below a person’s skill level affect future employability. He tailored 2, 420 applications and submitted them to 1, 210 job listings posted in five major cities across the U.S. He varied the applications by gender, and also by employment status for the previous year. Then he used computer models to analyze and compare the results. The results show that applicants who were positioned as working below their skill level, regardless of gender had the lowest chances of getting called for a job interview.
These results should serve as a warning to anyone considering taking a job below their skill level. While it might pay the bills in the short term, it can significantly hammer one’s ability to return to the relevant skill level and pay grade at a later date.
Why might this be the case? Pedulla conducted a follow-up study with 903 employers. He asked them about their ideas of applicants with each kind of employment history, and how likely they would be to recommend each kind of candidate to an interview. The results show that employers believe that men who are employed in positions below their skill level are less committed and less competent than men in other employment situations. Those surveyed also believed that women working below their skill level were less competent than others, but did not believe them to be less committed.
The results of studies suggest that work below skill level signals to employers men’s incompetence and a lack of commitment. This is a disturbing reminder that the sword of gender bias (偏见) does in fact cut both ways.

"]词义猜测题。根据划线词前句 “These results should serve as a warning to anyone considering taking a job below their skill level. While it might pay the bills in the short term, (这些结果应该给那些考虑接受低于自己技能水平的工作的人敲响警钟。虽然它可能在短期内支付账单，)” 及后文 “one’s ability to return to the relevant skill level and pay grade at a later date. (一个人日后恢复到有关技能水平和薪酬等级的能力。)” 以及表示转折的while可知，考虑接受低于自己技能水平的工作虽然可以挣到钱，但会减弱一个人日后恢复到有关技能水平和薪酬等级的能力。由此猜测hammer意为 “减弱，削弱”，与weaken意思相近。故选B。
