为了找到好工作现在要做的20件事（下）

美国大学生为找好工作入学前开始做的 20 件事之下篇来袭 ~

1. Make your job search a priority. Jobs o not fall in your lap, you have to chase them. Especially a goo one. It’s a job to look for a job. Use spreasheets to track your progress. An plan early. Golman Sachs, for example, starts its information sessions in September.

第十一，好工作要自己去找，不要等着天上掉馅饼，尤其是好的工作。找工作本身就是一件工作，你应该用表格记录找工作的过程。并且要提前规划。比如说高盛从 9 月份就开始招工信息通报会。

感想：幸福来源于自己去追求。等待将会一无所获。

1. Take a course in happiness. Happiness stuy is revolutionizing how we think of psychology, economics, an sociology. How to be happy is a science that 150 schools teach. Preview: Learn to be more optimistic. This class will show you how.

第十二，选修关于 &lquo; 幸福 &rquo; 的心理课程。幸福的研究来源于我们对心理学、经济学和社会学的思考。如何快乐是一门学科，超过 150 个学校都在进行这一方面的教学。学会积极乐观的态度。

感想：幸福是一门需要用心去体验的学问。用愉快的心态去迎接社会的考验。

1. Take an acting course. The best actors are actually being their most authentic selves, says Liny Amos of communications coaching firm TAI Resources. Amos teaches executives to communicate authentically so that people will listen an feel connecte. You nee to learn to o this, too, an you may as well start in college.

第十三，上表演课。美国社会整个就是个舞台，从教授、政治家、企业总裁，到律师、将军、记者，不会表演就很难出头。与人沟通，使人聆听并感受的学习不妨从大学就开始学习。

感想：这就是我们常听到的情商的重要性。社会是由人组成的，交流沟通无时不在。而方法和基本常识我们需要尽早的去学习。

1. Learn to give a compliment. The best compliments are specific, so goo job" is not goo, writes Lisa Laskow Lahey, psychologist at Harvar an co-author ofHow the Way We Talk Can Change the Way We Work.&rquo; Practice on your professors. If you give a goo compliment the recipient will think you’re smarter: Big payoff in college, but bigger payoff in the work worl.

第十四，学会赞美别人。哈佛大学心理学家 Lisa Laskow Lahey 在《 How the Way We Talk Can Change the Way We Work 》一书中说道：最好的恭维应该是具体的，像 “ 工作好 ” 并不是一种好的赞美。如果你给别人一个好的赞美，你会被认为是一个聪明的人 ( 这样的效果，在学校里会有很大的好处，在工作的世界里你的收益就会更大 ) 。

感想：在生活中，既要当好演员，也要当好观众。很多时候我们总是感觉和别人有距离，其实就是缺那简单的几句问候和一个拥抱。学会感恩，你将生活的更快乐。

1. Use the career center. These people are experts at positioning you in the workforce an their only job is to get you a job. How can you not love this place? If you fin yourself thinking the people at your college’s career center are iiots, it’s probably a sign that you really, really on’t know what you’re oing.

第十五，使用就业指导中心。美国大学一个重要部门就是求职咨询机构。专业人员帮你分析自己的长短，以及就业市场，帮助你准备面试，修改申请信。

感想：不需要一切都靠自己打天下。学校是你的后盾，有很多资源可以利用的。

1. Develop a strong sense of self by issing colleges that reject you. Happy people have ``a more urable sense of an aren’t as buffete by outsie events,&rquo; writes Sonja Lyubomirsky of the University of California-Riversie. When ba things happen, on’t take it personally. This is how the most successful business people bounce back quickly from setback.

第十六，被拒后应该坦然以对。快乐的人自己定义自己，不会用外在指标定义自己。当不好的事情发生的时候，不要太在意。学会如何从失败中走出来。

感想：成功的人就是那些学会了如何快速从失败中站起来，再去奋斗的人。

1. Apply to Harvar as a transfer stuent. Sure people have wil success after going to an Ivy League school but this success is no more gran than that of the people who applie an got rejecte. All people who apply to Ivy League schools seem to have similar high self-confiencean ambition, even if they on’t get in, accoring to a stuy by Kreuger.

第十七，以转校生的身份申请哈佛。人们从常春藤名校毕业无疑会取得巨大的成功，但是那些申请后被拒的学生也不差。所有申请常春藤名校的人，即使不能入校就读，也都有同样的自信和野心。

感想：成功的人有一颗永不言败的心。

1. Get ri of your perfectionist streak. It is reware in college, but it leas to insane job stress an an inability to feel satisfie with your work. An for all of you still stuck on number 6, about itching the law school applications: The Utah Bar Journal says that lawyers are isproportionately perfectionists.

第十八，不要过分追求完美，不要给自己不必要的压力。生活不止是工作，学习，它还有很多很多。

感想：生活是丰富多彩的，要去热爱人生。

1. Work your way though college. Getting involve in stuent organizations counts, an so oes feeing chilren in Sierra Leone or sweeping floors in the chemistry builing. Each experience you have can grow into something bigger. Albert was an orientation leaer last year, an she turne that experience into a full-time summer job that morphe into a position managing 130 orientation leaers. A great bullet on the resume for a junior in college.

第十九，要靠打工读完大学，积累工作经验。通过打工你会认识很多人，每一份工作，都会给你经验的积累。领导才能的锻炼就是从这些打工的过程中获得的。

感想：大部分中国学生做不到，甚至认为打工没有必要，其实打过工的人才会真正珍惜生活。打工仅仅是学习的一种手段，通过打工，你会学到更多课本以外的使用知识。

1. Make to o lists. You can’t achieve reams if you on’t have a plan to get there.

第二十，把你的目标列成表，因为你没有计划就不可能成功。不要整天没事干老胡思乱想，只有真正的行动才能拯救你 !

感想：从我做起，从现在开始做起。

这些建议，凝聚着在哈佛这类学校长期执教的教授的经验。这 20 件事，没有谈课堂，没有谈读书，上来就让你走出图书馆。其实美国大学的学习阅读量很大。但是，上课读书，仅仅是大学生活的一部分。大学生从走进校门那一天起，就要想到如何才能走出来，跨入社会。并且不断寻找怎么才能更好的走出来。
