If you're finding it tough to land a job，try expanding your job-hunting plan to include the following tactics：

　　如果你覺得找工作是件棘手的事情，不妨擴展你找工作的計劃，納入以下策略：

　　Set your target. While you should always keep your options open to compromise，you should also be sure to target exactly what you want in a job.A specific job hunt will be more efficient than a haphazard one.

　　定下目標。盡管你應該永遠給你的選擇留有妥協(xié)余地，你也應確切知道你到底想從某份工作中獲取什么。明確具體地尋找工作要比漫無目的地碰機會有效得多。

　　Schedule ample interviews. Use every possible method to get interviews——answering ads，using search firms，contacting companies directly，surfing the Web，and networking.Even if a job is not perfect for you，every interview can be approached as a positive experience.

　　安排盡可能多的面談。盡量利用一切辦法去爭取面試機會——回復招聘廣告，求助搜尋公司，直接與公司聯(lián)系，網(wǎng)上搜尋，利用各種關系網(wǎng)，等等。即便某份工作對你不是最為理想的，但每次面談都可以是一次有積極作用的經歷。

　　Follow up. Even if someone does not hire you，write them a thank-you note for the interview.Then，some weeks later，send another brief letter to explain that you still have not found the perfect position and that you will be available to interview again if the original position you applied for——or any other position，for that matter——is open.Do this with every position you interview for，and you may just catch a break.

　　繼續(xù)努力!即便人家沒有雇用你，給他們寫張感謝卡，對給你安排了一次面試機會表示感謝。數(shù)周之后，如果你申請的原職位——或與此相關的其他職位——尚無人選落實，你不妨再寄去一封簡短的信說你還未找到理想的職位，如有機會再面試一次將隨叫隨到。你每次應聘面試求職都應這樣，沒準兒你就會抓住一個機會。

　　Make it your full-time job.You can't find a job by looking sporadically。You have to make time for it.If you're unemployed and looking，devote as much time as you would to a full-time job.If you have a job while you're looking，figure out an organized schedule to maximize your searching time.

　　將找工作視為全職工作。你偶然隨便地找，不可能找到一份理想的工作，你必須去花時間找。如果你失業(yè)了想再找份新工作，盡可能多地付出時間就像你在全職工作一樣。如果你有工作，但還想找新的機會，制定一個有序的計劃盡可能多地安排出時間去搜尋。

　　Network vertically.In the research phase of your job hunt，talk to people who are on a level above you in your desired industry.They'll have some insights that people at your own level won't have，and will be in a good position to hire you or recommend you to be hired.Keep your spirits up.Looking for a job is one of the toughest things you will ever have to do.Maintain your confidence，stay persistent，and think positively，and eventually you will get a job that suits you.

　　縱向發(fā)展關系。在找工作的研究階段，找機會去和你渴望進入的行業(yè)中比你高一層次的人物交談。他們會有你這層次人物所不具備的視野，會有能力雇用你或將你推薦給其他雇主。心情愉快，充滿希望。找工作是你必須做的最為棘手的事情之一。保持信心，堅持不懈，態(tài)度樂觀，最終你會找到適合你的工作的。
