You’ll have a better chance of getting selected for an interview. Before you start job hunting, take the time to decide what type of job you’re seeking.关注自己能够胜任的职业领域，这样才会有更好的入选参加面试的机会。在投职前，不妨花点时间考虑自己想找哪一类型的工作。

Learn from your mistakes, and keep applying until you get the right offer.大多数求职者在入职前都会被多于15个雇主拒绝。学会从教训中总结经验，在找到合适工作前都不要停止投职。You need a specific cover letter or your resume may not get looked at. 详细的求职信或简历不受青睐。应尽量把它们设计得简洁明了。
You should also target your resume to the job.简历与职位要相对应。It’s not just your cover letter. You resume should be edited and tweaked, so it’s as close a match to the job as possible.不仅仅是求职信要这样做。你的简历也应该是编辑改造过的，因此就越有可能获得预期的职位。You don’t need to include all your experience on your resume.简历中不必涵盖所有个人经历。

When you’re asked questions during a job interview, relay the specific skills and experience you have, as well as how you handled the situations you’re asked about.让雇主了解你的一个方法就是说故事，当你在面试过程中被问问题时，转而回答为个人的特长和经历，并且自己是如何应对突发状况的。

You never know who can help you find your next job unless you tell your connections that you’re job seeking.大多数的工作机会仍然通过人际关系网获得，无论通过网络还是个人。所以你永远不知道谁会帮助你寻找下一份工作，除非你跟自己的人际关系网谈及你在找工作的事情。References can make a big difference in getting hired.介绍信的作用非凡。
References are important, and employers check them. Get recommendations from bosses, co-workers, clients, subordinates, and suppliers.介绍信很重要，因为雇主会审视它。请向你的前任上司，同事，客户，下属和供应商获取介绍信，这样将会很有用。It’s acceptable to apply for the same job more than once.同一个职位多次投职也无妨。
Polish your shoes prior to your interview. 面试前把鞋子擦亮。
This one’s an extra, but, yes, hiring managers do look at your shoes. If you don’t have shoe polish, a leather or multi-purpose cleaning wipe will work. It’s important to look your best from head to toe! 虽然这是额外的提示，但也是对的，人事部经理的确会看你的着装。如果你没有把鞋子擦干净，用皮革或多功能清洁布也可以。从头到脚给人的感觉也很重要!
