Identify companies or organisations that
would like to work for and use all appropriate channels to target them and find out as much as possible about them, wrote Sally Walker, a UK|based career coach with SW Career Coaching, in an email. The easiest way to do this is through linkedIn, she suggested. Follow the company, join relevant interest groups that they might monitor, follow them on Twitter, try to engage with the organisation in a professional way.
shows the organisation that you are truly interested, shows initiative and differentiates you from others.
找出你想去工作的公司或组织，借助合适的途径去找到这家公司或组织尽量多的信息，Sally Walker在一封邮件中写道，她在英国成立了SW Career Coaching公司。最简单的办法是通过linkedIn来找消息，她建议道。关注你想去的公司，关注他们可能密切关注的有关利益团体，在twitter上关注他们，尝试用专业的方法和组织交流。这体现了你真正对组织有兴趣，这体现了你的主动性，从而把你和别的人区别开。
If there arent any paid positions, see if you can volunteer with the organisation in order to gain some work experience, Walker suggested. An alternative: find volunteer work at a different company in the same field. That could help you build relevant skills, extend your network and show that you are doing something constructive rather than just sitting at home reacting to job adverts, she wrote.
假如没找到带薪职位，看看能否在组织中做志愿者，获得一些工作经验，Walker建议道。另外的选择：去不一样的公司同一范围做志愿者。这会帮你进步有关的技能，扩展你的人际关系互联网，并展示出你在做一些有益的事情，而不仅仅是待在家看工作的招聘启事， 她写道。
Dont give up
不要舍弃
Keep talking and keep interviewing, wrote Ben Carpenter, author of The Bigs: The Secrets Nobody Tells Students and Young Professionals about How to Find a Great Job, Do a Great Job, Start a Business, and Live a Happy Life, in an email. As the school year winds down, you need to attempt to exhaust all your possible campus contacts.
继续谈话，继续面试，Ben Carpenter 在一封邮件中写道 。他是《怎么样找到好的工作、把工作做好、创业、过幸福的生活》一书的作者。伴随校园生活接近尾声，你得尽量和校园里认识的人联系。
Think beyond the schools career services department. Talk to coaches and professors and ask them if they can put you in touch with alumni who have gone into the industry in which you are interested. Contacts generated this way are incredibly valuable since you dont only share a college in common, you share a mentor, wrote Carpenter.
想想学校的职业服务部门。和指导员、教授聊聊，问问他们能否助你联系一下你有兴趣范围里的校友。通过这种方法产生的联系是很宝贵的，由于你找的不是同事，而是一个导师，Carpenter写道。
Dont sTOP at mentors.
to all of your senior classmates who have gotten jobs in your chosen industry, wrote Carpenter. Finding these classmates shouldnt be too hard: ask the schools career services department, or just ask around, he suggested. once you find them, arrange to have a cup of coffee with them and pick their brains on how they accomplished what you want to do. Since the pressure is off these students, they will likely have plenty of time to talk and would be happy to tell you to what they thought they did right, and what they did wrong, during their job search.
不要只找导师。和在你选中范围内工作的高年级同学聊聊，Carpenter写道。找到这类同学不会太难：询问一下学校的职业服务部门，或打听一下。一旦你找到了他们，和他们一块喝杯咖啡，让他们想想他们是怎么样完成了你想做的事情。因为这类学生已经没重压了，他们大概有很多的时间和你交谈，非常或许会高兴地对你说，他们觉得在他们找工作的时候做过的什么事情是对的，什么事情是错的。
Theres nothing wrong with inquiring about contacts they used to get their foot in the door and, in a tactful manner, whether theyd be willing to introduce you to those same contacts. Finally, ask them if they would be willing to meet with you again after theyve started in their new jobs, Carpenter suggested.
机灵地问问他们怎么样迈出第一步这没什么大不了，他们愿不想把你介绍给他们的联系人都没关系。最后，问问他们假如他们开始了新的工作，愿不想和你见面。Carpenter建议道。
Staring you in the face
直面自我
Many soon|to|be graduates dont take full advantage of their schools career services office despite the fact that its expressly designed to help them. One of the best resources it offers is the alumni directory, according to Carpenter. First, search for alumni who work in your industry and who have a shared interest with you, whether its the same major, sport or other activity. Second, look for alumni who either work in your industry, or work at companies that appeal to you. Request informational interviews.
不少快毕业的学生并没充分借助学校的职业服务办公室的帮忙，尽管该办公室就是专门为他们设计的。据Carpenter，该办公室提供的最好资源是校友录。第一，从校友录里找一下哪个在你想从事的行业里工作，哪个和你有着相同的兴趣，譬如相同的专业、运动或其他活动。第二，找一下在你想从事行业里工作的校友或在你有兴趣公司里工作的校友。 还可以在办公室里询问面试有关的信息。
A creative approach
创造性的办法
At Sonoma State University in Northern California, some 44% of graduating seniors wont have a career job when they graduate, according to Ken Heinzel, a marketing and management lecturer at the school and a former executive headhunter.
在北加州索诺玛州立大学，44%的毕业生没找到工作。据Ken Heinzel所言。他是学校里市场推广和管理的讲师，以前是猎头企业的高管。
While statistics like this may make you feel better to know that you are not alone, it also means that there are a lot of people competing for the same jobs.
或许像如此的统计数字会叫你感觉心里好受些，了解自己并不孤单。但它也意味着不少人都在角逐着同一份工作。
I tell students that its their value to a prospective firm that will get them hired, said Heinzel. However, before they can explain their value, they must get the firms or hiring managers attention. In a tough job market, like todays, that can be difficult.
我告诉学生，公司看到他们的价值才会雇佣他们，Heinzel说。然而，在他们能讲解我们的价值前，他们需要能得到公司或招聘经理的注意。在像今天如此严峻的就业形势里，如此做非常难。
Heinzel recommends students take a creative approach and make an information packet that they can send to the hiring manager or manager in the department where the target job opening is. The packet should contain a short cover letter, a resume and a creative item designed to get the managers attention. For example, one candidate who was applying to a position at a firearms company included his highest scoring paper target from a target|practice range, according to Heinzel. He got the interview.
Heinzel推荐学生们采取有创意的办法，并筹备好相应的信息，如此当有空缺职位时他们可以把信息发送给职业经理或部门经理。Heinzel举了个例子，有个学生申请在武器企业的一个职位，他把自己写的一篇和打靶练习有关的得分最高的论文发给了公司。毫无疑问，他得到了面试机会。
Standing out
崭露头角
Attention is the scarcest commodity in the new economy, wrote Ritvik Lukose, CEO of Vahura, Indias leading legal and governance search firm with headquarters in Mumbai. Therefore, its imperative that you make yourself stand out.
在新经济年代，注意力是最稀缺的商品了，Ritvik Lukose写道。他是Vahura的CEO。Vahura是印度领先的法律和管理猎头公司，总部设在孟买。因此，当务之急，就是让自己崭露头角。
Lukose suggested getting the attention of your TOP|five target employers by giving them something useful to their line of work: a piece of research, a marketing pitch or a new product idea, for example. This shows both a deep interest in that employer as well as your competence on the job, he wrote.
Lukose建议到，可以通过给五大目的雇主提供一些工作上的有用建议来得到他们的注意力：譬如一些有关研究、一个营销推广方案或一个新品的想法。这既表明了你对雇主有兴趣，也体现了你工作上的能力，他写道。
Its up to you to grab their attention, he said, adding: Remember, if they dont call you, its because you are not on their mind.
能否吸引他们的注意力还是取决于你，他补充道：记住，假如他们不给你打电话，那是由于你没给他们留下什么印象。
