Here are half a dozen essential tips for landing the right job in good economic times or bad:

　　本文有六條必備貼士能幫助你不管在什么經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢(shì)下都能找到合適的工作：

　　Try a Sales Technique

　　嘗試一些銷售技巧

　　Be prepared during a telephone screening or a first interview to make the "60-second sell," a four- to five-sentence summary of your biography and career accomplishments, according to career counselor and author Robin Ryan。

　　在電話篩選或者面試的時(shí)候準(zhǔn)備好一次“60秒銷售”，用四到五句的摘要簡(jiǎn)短陳述你的生平和在事業(yè)方面的成就。這是職業(yè)顧問(wèn)和作家羅賓·萊恩說(shuō)的。

　　"When they say, 'Tell me about yourself, why should I hire you?' you have a memorized statement about why you'd be good on the job," says Ryan, author of "60 Seconds & You're Hired!"

　　萊恩寫(xiě)過(guò)一本書(shū)《60秒讓你被聘用》，他說(shuō)，“當(dāng)他們說(shuō)‘跟我們談?wù)勀阕约喊桑瑸槭裁匆�聘用你呢�?rsquo;你必須把自己在工作上的優(yōu)勢(shì)倒背如流。”

　　Work Your Personal Network

　　打造自己的人脈

　　Networking doesn't have to be confined to business contacts, especially when you're trying to break into a big company that may use automated software to screen applicants。

　　人脈不需要限定在商務(wù)場(chǎng)合，特別是當(dāng)你想要進(jìn)入大公司的時(shí)候，他們可能會(huì)用一些自動(dòng)化的軟件來(lái)掃描求職者。

　　Ask everyone you know if they have a connection to a specific employer; the goal is to get your resume forwarded to a hiring manager via the company's internal network, rather than having it come from the outside and get lost in the shuffle of other applicants。

　　問(wèn)問(wèn)你認(rèn)識(shí)的每一個(gè)人，看他們有沒(méi)有和一位雇主保持聯(lián)系，這個(gè)目的是讓你的簡(jiǎn)歷通過(guò)公司的實(shí)習(xí)網(wǎng)直接遞給招聘經(jīng)理，這比從外面遞進(jìn)來(lái)慢吞吞的淹沒(méi)在一群求職者當(dāng)中好多了。

　　"Microsoft gets 100,000 resumes a month -- how do you think they're going to find you otherwise through that cyber hole?" Ryan says。

　　萊恩說(shuō)，“微軟每個(gè)月能收到十萬(wàn)份簡(jiǎn)歷——如果沒(méi)有那樣的關(guān)系，你覺(jué)得他們要怎樣才能發(fā)現(xiàn)你呢？”

　　Expand Your Horizon

　　開(kāi)拓自己的視野

　　Julie Jansen, a career coach and author of "I Don't Know What I Want, But I Know It's Not This," recommends attending professional association meetings in a related field, as well as those in your own specialty。

　　朱莉·詹森是一位職業(yè)輔導(dǎo)和作家，她推薦人們參加一些相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的職業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)，和自己從事領(lǐng)域有直接關(guān)系的當(dāng)然也可以。

　　For example, although your experience may be in marketing, add gatherings for finance executives or other fields in which you could apply your skills and experience to your regular schedule of ad and marketing group meetings。

　　比如，你可能在市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷方面有經(jīng)驗(yàn)，參加一些金融管理或者其他領(lǐng)域的聚會(huì)，你就能把自己的技巧和經(jīng)驗(yàn)應(yīng)用到廣告和市場(chǎng)團(tuán)隊(duì)聚會(huì)中。

　　Another networking strategy is to give it the old college try, by tapping alumni, even those you don't know。

　　另一個(gè)人脈策略是學(xué)校策略，聯(lián)系一些校友，即使是那些你不認(rèn)識(shí)的校友。

　　"Most universities have online directors of alumni, so I'd go that route if possible," says Jansen. "If not, contacting the alumni office would be Plan B."

　　詹森說(shuō)，“大部分大學(xué)都有在線的校友聯(lián)系人，如果可能的話我會(huì)走那個(gè)路線，如果這行不通，備選方案是聯(lián)系校友辦公室。”

　　Check Your Skill Set

　　確認(rèn)你的技能

　　Although you may not have the time or financial resources to pursue an advanced degree, taking additional coursework in your field to boost specific skills can get you noticed by a recruiter. Also, don't forget to cite key experience gained from volunteering for community, school, or nonprofit groups。

　　雖然你不見(jiàn)得有時(shí)間或者經(jīng)濟(jì)條件追求一個(gè)更高的學(xué)位，但是參加一些跟自己領(lǐng)域相關(guān)的課程來(lái)提升自己的技能會(huì)讓你引起招聘者的注意。還有，不要忘記說(shuō)說(shuō)從那些社區(qū)、學(xué)校或者公益組織的志愿活動(dòng)中你得到的寶貴經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

　　"Look at your transferrable skills, including project management, budgeting, supervising others, and organizational planning," Ryan says。

　　萊恩說(shuō)，“審視一下自己的可變通能力，包括項(xiàng)目管理、預(yù)算、指導(dǎo)他人，以及組織計(jì)劃等方面的能力。”

　　Know Your Worth

　　知道自己的價(jià)值

　　Even during a downturn, it's a mistake to settle for less just to get the job. Before accepting an offer, consult a salary survey or online salary calculator to make sure the package is competitive within your field。

　　即使在經(jīng)濟(jì)下滑的時(shí)候，為找工作降低薪酬也是個(gè)錯(cuò)誤。在接受一個(gè)offer之前，做個(gè)薪水調(diào)查或者用個(gè)在線的薪水計(jì)算器來(lái)確保你的薪水在同行業(yè)是比較有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力的。

　　"It's an outdated idea that you should take anything to get your foot in the door," Ryan says. "It could take you 10 years to get a decent salary."

　　萊恩說(shuō)，“為了踏入職場(chǎng)大門(mén)什么都接受的觀點(diǎn)已經(jīng)過(guò)時(shí)了，因?yàn)槟菢拥脑捘憧赡芤獖^斗十年才能拿到一個(gè)合適的薪水。”

　　Do It Daily

　　每天都做

　　Whether it's posting your resume in the common area of your apartment building, or sharing your job hunt with your doctor, dentist, dermatologist, or gynecologist, you should incorporate your search for work into every aspect of your daily life。

　　不管是在你的公寓平常的地方貼簡(jiǎn)歷還是告訴你的個(gè)人醫(yī)生、牙醫(yī)、皮膚科醫(yī)生、婦科醫(yī)生你在找工作，你應(yīng)該讓找工作這件事滲透到你日常生活的各個(gè)方面。

　　"Do something every single day that is about looking for a job," Jansen says。

　　詹森說(shuō)，“和找工作有關(guān)的事情每天都要做。”
