职场英语|怎么样找到理想的工作

If you're finding it tough to land a job，try expanding your job－hunting plan to include the following tactics：

Set your target.While you should always keep your options open to compromise，you should also be sure to target exactly what you want in a job.A specific job hunt will be more efficient than a haphazard^{1 one.}

Schedule ample2） interviews.Use every possible method to get interviewsanswering ads，using search firms，contacting companies directly，surfing3） the Web，and networking.Even if a job is not perfect for you，every interview can be approached as a positive experience.

Follow up.Even if someone does not hire you，write them a thank－you note for the interview.Then，some weeks later，send another brief letter to explain that you still have not found the perfect position and that you will be available to interview again if the original position you applied^{2 foror any other position，for that matteris open.Do this with every position you interview for，and you may just catch a break.}

Make it your full－time job.You can't find a job by looking sporadically4）。You have to make time for it.If you're unemployed^{4 and looking，devote as much time as you would to a full－time job.If you have a job while you're looking，figure out an organized schedule to maximize5） your searching time.}

Network vertically6）。In the research phase of your job hunt，talk to people who are on a level above you in your desired industry.They'll have some insights that people at your own level won't have，and will be in a good position to hire you or recommend you to be hired.Keep your spirits up.Looking for a job is one of the toughest things you will ever have to do.Maintain your confidence，stay persistent，and think positively，and eventually you will get a job that suits you.

假如你感觉找工作是件棘手的事情，可以扩展你找工作的计划，纳入以下方案：

定下目的。尽管你应该永远给你的选择留有妥协空间，你也应确切了解你到底想从某份工作中获得什么。明确具体地探寻工作要比漫无目的地碰机会有效得多。

安排尽量多的面议。尽可能借助所有方法去争取面试机会回复招聘广告，求助搜寻公司，直接与公司联系，网上搜寻，借助各种关系网，等等。即使某份工作对你不是最为理想的，但每次面议都可以是一次有积极推动作用的历程。

继续努力！即使人家没雇用你，给他们写张感谢卡，对给你安排了一次面试机会表示感谢。数周之后，假如你申请的原职位或与此有关的其他职位尚无人选落实，你可以再寄去一封简短的信说你还未找到理想的职位，如有机会再面试一次将随叫随到。你每次面试面试求职都应如此，没准儿你就会抓住一个机会。

将找工作视为全职工作。你偶然随意地找，不可能找到一份理想的工作，你需要去花时间找。假如你失业了想再找份新工作，尽量多地付出时间就像你在全职工作一样。假如你有工作，但还想找新的机会，拟定一个有序的计划尽量多地安排出时间去搜寻。

纵向进步关系。在找工作的研究阶段，找机会去和你渴望进入的行业中比你高中一年级层次的人物交谈。他们会有你这层次人物所不拥有的视线，会有能力雇用你或将你推荐给其他雇主。心情愉快，充满期望。找工作是你需要做的最为棘手的事情之一。维持信心，坚持不懈，态度乐观，最后你会找到合适你的工作的。
