新年求職要做的7大功課

If you're still looking for work these days, try Moving into the New Year on a high note with these seven helpful (and hopefully lucky) job-related resolutions you must keep:
如果你目前還在找工作，那就試試以下7個和工作相關的、你必須記住的方法高調迎接新年吧：

1. "I will broaden my job horizons."
我將拓寬我的工作範圍

Stop limiting yourself to only specific types of jobs. Promise to look for jobs you may not think you have enough skills for and go for it. Look into jobs that you may not even know you are qualified for and maybe find a new career in the process!
不要再將你的工作範圍限定在某個特定的領域了。去找那些你認爲自己還沒有足夠技能去做的工作，然後去應聘。在找那些你都不知道自己是否具有資格的工作過程中，你可能會發掘一個新的職業領域。

2. "I will consider relocating for a position."
我會考慮爲了份工作搬遷

Never count out jobs that are "too far" away. Moving to a new city, state, or country for work may be just what you need. Look into large corporations with offices around the country to get an idea of where your skills are needed. You may end up getting the job of your dreams in a town you would have never considered.
永遠不要排除那些太遠的工作。搬到一個新的城市、州或國家去工作可能正好就是你所需要的。到那些跨國大公司在自己國家的辦事處諮詢，問一問你應該具備哪些技能。你可能會在你以前從未想到的城市找到一份你夢想中的工作。

3. "I will stay positive."
我會保持積極主動

This is the most difficult out of all of these resolutions but vital if you want to get a great job faster than your peers. People (especially potential employers) can feel you and your attitudes out in an instant, which is why it's best to be positive regardless of the situation you're dealing with. It will also help you feel better all around, too!
如果你想比同齡人更快找到一份好工作的話，這一點是最難做到的，但也是最重要的。人們（尤其是潛在僱主）能夠在瞬間就瞭解你以及你對工作的態度，這也是爲什麼不管出現什麼樣的情況都要保持積極樂觀的原因。這樣也會讓你周圍的人感到舒服。

4. "I will always prepare for my interviews."
我一直爲面試準備着。

It doesn't matter if you're interviewing to be a fast-food cashier or the next chief operating officer of a huge corporation. Be prepared! Rehearse replies to all types of questions you may (or may not) be expecting. Dress your best, be polite, and follow up afterwards to better your chances at scoring that gig.
不管你是應聘快餐店的出納員還是大公司的下一任營運總監，都要時刻準備好。爲你預計要回答的問題反覆做好排練。穿最好的衣服，彬彬有禮，並且爲了讓自己更有機會得到那份工作，做好面試後的跟進工作。

5. "I will prove myself during all of my interviews."
在整個面試期間我將會證明自己

Ever go on an interview and become disinterested in the job 5 minutes into your meeting? It shows! Resolve to stay engaged and genuinely interested in what any interviewer is discussing with you. You may discover that the job you are meeting over has something more to offer or that the company has another position perfect for you.
是否曾經去過一次面試，在5分鐘之內就對這份工作沒了興趣呢？這種想法會表現出來的。在面試中要下定決心過完整個過程，並對任何和你交談的面試官都表現出真誠的興趣。最後你可能會發現自己在這次面試中能學到更多的東西，或這家公司正好有另一個職位非常適合你。

6. "I will network more."
我會拓展更多的交際圈

This resolution may seem daunting, but can really be fun. Reach out to individuals through social networks online that may be able to assist you with your job hunt. Don't mass message strangers asking for employment. Establish a formal rapport, stay in touch, and see what can come of your new professional relationships.
這種方法可能看起來讓人畏懼，但實際上是很有趣的。通過網絡社交圈結交到的朋友可能會在你的求職過程中給予你幫助。不要大規模地向陌生人發送求職申請。建立正式的關係，並保持聯繫，然後看看這份新的專業聯繫能夠爲你帶來什麼。

7. "I will stay educated and informed about my industry."
我會在我的行業裏繼續深造，拓寬見識

While you've been unemployed, your respected industries have been evolving at mind-blowing speeds. Do you know what's hot or not anymore in your field? Dedicateat least an hour a day to reading up on your respected industry. Stay in the know and blow your interviewers away with your knowledge on current happenings.
雖然你失業了，但是你仰慕的行業仍然在高速發展。你是否瞭解你所在行業最新熱門的事情？或者是已經過時的東西？每天至少花一個小時的時間去了解你所仰慕的行業。瞭解最新的時事，然後在下一次招聘會上利用你的知識向招聘人員吹噓當前發生的新聞。
