对部分地区失业率高达十分之一的美国人而言，今天要找到并保住一份工作实在不是易事。对失业人群来说，下面这十条基督科学箴言报的再就业建议可能会有些帮助：
1. Define what you want
1、想要自己到底要做什么
It can take a senior level executive six to 12 months to find a new job. Don’t waste time by setting off in the wrong direction. Engage in a “career audit” of past positions to define what you liked and disliked about each job. Know what is nonnegotiable for you as you start the search. Identify companies that you’d like to work for – and your motivation for selecting them.
对一个资深高管来说，再就业需要6到12个月。因此不要在错误的方向上越走越远。认真审视一下过去的职业道路，想想自己对每份工作喜欢与讨厌的部分。在开始找工作之前想好自己有哪些事情是绝对不想做的。找到那些自己想为之工作的企业，想清楚自己为什么要选择他们。
2. Determine if you’re ready for a change
2、想清楚自己是否已经做好改变的准备了
Don’t start a job search unless you’re really ready to change companies. Using an offer from another company (particularly a competitor) to get what you want from your current firm is not the way to go. A “power play” against your current employer may backfire, leading to strained relations and downward mobility or put you on the fast track to departure. Move forward if and when you’re ready to make this step.
在确定自己要换公司之前不要轻易开始求职。用另一家公司（特别是对手公司）开出的价码来胁迫现在的公司绝非妙招。跟现任雇主之间的这种硬碰硬很可能引火烧身，会引发你们之间的紧张关系甚至导致你被开。除非已经准备好辞职了，轻易别用这招。
3. Know who you are
3、了解自己
Understanding your work-related personality – expert, competitor, learner, or entrepreneur – will help you identify the best opportunities to pursue. For example, experts tend to stick with one field, and often one company, to deepen their knowledge and become a sought-after specialist. Competitors are driven to gain influence and responsibility, and frequently switch companies, functions, and even careers. Learners and entrepreneurs are curious and attracted to new things. Learners usually select a field and move every five to seven years. Entrepreneurs may want to work for a corporation, but usually do best at a start-up company.
了解自己的职场性格-是专家、竞争者、学习者还是创业者，可以帮助你找出最佳的机会。比如说，专家型的人更喜欢坚持一个领域，往往还是在同一个公司，钻研下去，直到自己变成不可或缺的专家。竞争者则会以影响力和责权为目标，不断跳槽甚至转行。学习者和创业者都容易被新事物所吸引，学习者常常会选择一个行业，然后在5到7年后离开。而创业者则更倾向于在创业初始的小公司工作。
4. Find your core strengths
4、发现自己的强项
Your core strengths are what distinguish you from other candidates. As you seek to identify those strengths, consider how colleagues and peers describe you (e.g., creative, reliable, no-nonsense, etc.). Coaching may also help you explore your vision and values, and create your personal brand.
你的核心竞争力能帮助你脱颖而出。当你在寻找这些强项时，想想同事、同行是怎么形容你的（比如说：有创意、可信任、不夸夸其谈等）。职场咨询师也可以帮助你发现自己的理念和价值，从而创建你的个人品牌。
5. Market yourself
5、推销自己
Communicate your strengths and the tangible, significant results that you have achieved. Use action verbs and phrases to highlight your function and showcase your expertise. Every encounter with new people is an opportunity to practice your pitch. What can you say about yourself to attract the attention you want?
推销自己的长处，以及曾经达成的具体、显著成果。多用动词来凸显自己的行动力，并展现自己的专业知识。每新遇到一个人就是一个推销自己的新机会。想想要想获得关注，到底应该如何介绍自己呢。
6. Highlight what you want and why you deserve it
6、重点说说你想要的以及为什么你当之无愧
When you send out your résumé, include a cover letter that reinforces the content of your résumé and compels the reader to follow up with you. Clearly state what you are looking for and why this organization or position matches your vision.
在送出简历时，附上一封含有简历内内容重点的精简说明，让读者可以一目了然。清楚的说明自己的求职目标，以及为什么你所求职的这一组织以及职务能符合你的要求。
7. Use recruiters to assist you in your job search
7、在求职过程中善用猎头公司的帮助
First, know what a recruiter can and cannot do for you. Recruiters aren’t career coaches, and the premier firms like Korn/Ferry International focus only on C-suite, managing director, and board-level candidates. But there are firms that cater to midlevel professionals. Seek an introduction to these recruiters from someone you know, preferably someone who is a well-known industry contact or who has been a client of that recruiting firm.
首先要知道猎头可以以及不能为你做的事情。猎头可不是求职咨询师，大型猎头公司们一般只会注意到经理级以上的候选人。但也有些公司是专为中层干部服务的。通过熟人介绍认识一些猎头，中间人最好是业内人脉较广的人或者曾经被猎头服务过的人。
8. Interview with confidence
8、充满自信地去面试
Remember, initial impressions are formed within the first eight seconds of meeting someone. So manage how you are perceived by: establishing rapport and trust with the interviewer; selling yourself while the interviewer sells the role and the corporate culture to you; and wrapping up the interview by soliciting feedback and defining next steps.
要牢记第一印象是在见面时前八秒钟就决定了的。因此一定要留下好印象：跟面试官建立一个融洽且可信任的关系；推销自己也让面试官向你推销这一职务以及公司文化；在面试结束询问面试官的建议以及决定下一步骤。
9. Know what you’re worth
9、了解自己的价值
Top talent is always in demand, even in a tough environment. If you receive more than one offer, be careful not to appear as if you are playing one company against another. After you have reviewed and accepted the offer, use the personal touch. Communicate your acceptance by calling the recruiter, HR personnel, and/or the hiring manager. Thank them for the opportunity.
即使在不景气的大环境中，顶尖人才依然是供不应求的。如果你有若干个可以选择的职位，千万不要表现地好像是在用一个公司胁迫另一个公司。在详细查看并最终接受了一个职位后，亲自联系猎头、人事部职员以及未来雇主。感谢他们给你的这个机会。
10. Take control of the process
10.掌控每个阶段
Your job search is more than finding a new position. It is a chance to define who you are and the value you bring, and to explore new companies and industries. Take control of the process by being thoughtful through each phase, making sure that the position you ultimately accept is the best one for you. This time of exploration and transition can help you hone your personal brand, identify your work-related desires, and attain the best position for you. When the right match is made, everyone benefits.
求职之旅并不在找到工作的那一刻就结束了。这是一个决定你是谁，你能带来何种价值以及探索新公司新行业的良机。深思熟虑每一个阶段，保证最终接受的职位正是最适合你的，全程掌控。这一探索与过渡的阶段将帮助你打造自己的个人品牌，确定你的职业野心以及找到最佳位置。当你找到绝配时，大家都受益。 |
