找工作前必做的20件事

1、美国大学生找工作前必做的20件事发布日期：2009-9-9 来源：新浪 点击：18大学生入学季节，波士顿环球报刊登一篇文章，题目叫“为了找到好工作现在要做的20件事”。1. Get out of thelibrary.You can have a degree and a huge GPA and not be ready for theworkplace. A student should plan that college is four years ofexperience rather than 120 credits,“says William Coplin, professor atSyracuse University and author of the book, 10 Things Employers WantYou to Learn in College.”第一，走出图书馆，就算有了学位和很高的GPA你也不见得就为工作做好了准备。大学是四年人生经验，不是高学分。在美国的大学，课外活动常常和功课一样重要。2. Start a business in your dorm

2、 room.Its cheap, Google and Yahoo aredying to buy your website, and its better than washing dishes in thecafeteria. Note to those who play poker online until 4 a.m.: Gamblingisnt a business. Its an addiction。第二，从宿舍开始做生意，这很便宜，雅虎、谷歌都会争先恐后地买你弄出来的网站，这比餐馆里洗盘子好多了。至于那些通宵在线玩扑克的人，记住赌博不是生意，赌博是瘾。3. Dont take on debt that is too limiting.This is not a reference toonline gambling, although it could be. This is about choosing a stateschool over a pricey private school. Almost everyone agrees you can geta grea

3、t education at an inexpensive school. So in many cases the debtfrom a private school is more career-limiting than the lack of brandname on your diploma。第三，别债务缠身，这和在线赌博关系不大，虽然可能有关系。这是关于应该选择一所州立大学而不是昂贵的私立学校的问题。几乎所有人都同意在不那么贵的学校里也能得到良好的教育。所以从个人前途上看，无债一身轻比花钱买个名牌要有利得多。4. Get involved on campus.When it comes to career success emotionalintelligence social skills to read and lead others - get youfarther than knowledge or job competence, according to TizianaCasciaro, professor at Harvard Business School.

4、Julie Albert, a juniorat Brandeis University, is the director of her a capella group and headof orientation this year. She hones her leadership skills outside theclassroom, which is exactly where to do it。第四，积极参加校园的活动，通过这种活动，可以学会怎么来源：考试大理解、帮助别人，满足别人的需要和别人沟通。这在美国文化中，是所谓“领袖素质”的基础。找工作时会被别人另眼相看。千万不要认为自己的生活只有校园而已。5. Avoid grad school in the liberal arts.One in five English Phdsfind stable university jobs, and the degree wont help outside theuniversity: Schooling only gives you the capacity to stand b

5、ehind acash register, says Thomas Benton, a columnist at the Chronicle ofHigher Education (who has an English degree from Yale and atenure-track teaching job)第五，不要读文科博士，五分之一的英语博士能找到大学里的稳定的工作，如果走出校门，学位没什么用处。除非你离了学术不能活。读博士对实际工作毫无帮助。6. Skip the law-school track.Lawyers are the most depressed of allprofessionals. Stress itself does not make a job bad, says AlanKreuger, economist at Princeton University. Not having control overones work does make a bad job, though, and lawyers are always actingon beh

6、alf of someone else. Suicide is among the leading causes ofpremature death among lawyers。第六，别上法学院，律师是所有职业中最压抑的。律师总是代表别人去争利，压力奇大。自杀是律师中第一号非正常死亡的原因。7. Play a sport.People who play sports earn more money than couchpotatoes, and women executives who played sports attribute much oftheir career success to their athletic experience, says JenniferCripsen of Sweet Briar College in Virginia. You dont need to be greatat sports, you just need to be part of a team.第七，参加体育运动 调查表明，大学从事体育的人，毕业后比那些不沾体育的同学明显收入高。美

7、国人从事体育不仅是锻炼身体，而且是培养竞争的才能和领袖素质。一个大学运动队的队长到华尔街找工作，优势不可限量。8. Separate your expectations from those of your parents.Otherwiseyou wake up and realize youre not living your own life, saysAlexandra Robbins, author of the popular new book The Overachievers.(Note to parents: If you cringe as you read this list, then you need toread this book。)第八，别按着父母的期待生活，“否则你醒来后会发现你过的不是自己的日子。”9. Try new things that youre not good at.Ditch the superstarmentality that if you dont reach the top, president, A+, editor inch

8、ief, then the efforts were worthless. Its important to learn toenjoy things without getting recognition, says Robbins。第九，干一些你并不擅长的新事物，你对自己未必了解，这是苏格拉底给人类的教诲。所以，请给自己一个机会。10. Define success for yourself.Society defines success verynarrowly. Rather than defining success as financial gain or accolades,define it in terms of individual interests and personal happiness,says Robbins。第十，以自己为中心来定义成功，别以外在的东西(比如金钱)来定义成功。11. Make your job search a priority.Jobs do not fall in your lap, youhave to chase them.

9、Especially a good one. Its a job to look for ajob. Use spreadsheets to track your progress. And plan early. GoldmanSachs, for example, starts its information sessions in September。第十一，好工作要自己去找。不要等着天上掉馅饼。12. Take a course in happiness. Happiness study is revolutionizing howwe think of psychology, economics, and sociology. How to be happy is ascience that 150 schools teach. Preview: Learn to be more optimistic.This class will show you how。第十二，选修关于“幸福”的心理课程。在哈佛，这一课程是最热门的课之一。13. Take an acting course.The best actors are actually being theirmost authentic selves, says Lindy Amos of communications coaching firmTAI Resources. Amos teaches executives to communicate authentically sothat people will listen and feel connected. You need to learn to dothis, too, and you may as well start in college。
