conduct a complete search. 找工作是個辛苦活。全面撒網纔不會漏掉任何你有興趣的'工作機會。touch all the following bases to increase your chances of getting the job and the salary you want: 1) apply to companies 2) ask your friends and relatives about jobs 3) answer newspaper ads 4) apply at private employment agencies and the state employment services 5) take civil service tests.
set realistic goals. 不管理想多麼遠大，總是要一步一步得去實現。制定現實的目標，不要夢想一步登天。make sure you arent pursuing conflicting goals. dont expect miracles. establish a priority for your goals. if getting a job quickly is essential, realize that your needs probably rule out getting a high salary. review your goals periodically. if what seemed a realistic goal at the start appears unattainable 12 weeks later, change your goal.
be willing to invest in yourself. 找工作是要投資的。花點錢製作一份能給人留下深刻印象的簡歷還是值得的。。if your resume typed on a portable is less impressive than one typed on a full-size electronic typewriter, the little money saved may not be worth it. you will have a better chance to succeed if you look successful.
revise your strategies as needed. 根據情況調整你的求職戰略。dont continue to send out a resume or an application letter that has gotten no results. and dont keep pursuing a position if it obviously isnt attainable. if you discover that you arent as marketable as you assumed you would be, revise your resume and your goals.
try to get every job offer you can. 得到offer可以證明你的能力，幫你樹立自信，也會讓你在下一次應聘時更具競爭力。even if you arent sure you want a certain job, getting an offer may make you more attractive to a company you want to work for. the job you are interviewing for may not appeal to you too much now but could prove to be your most appealing alternative later. interviews enable you to see how good you are at making people want you. if you get an offer, youll know you have mastered the technique that gets you other offers. besides, getting a job offer can build you up psychologically. this boost may be just what you need to succeed in your next interview, for a job you want more.
