Expand Your Horizon
开拓自己的视野
Julie Jansen, a career coach and author of "I Don't Know What I Want, But I Know It's Not This," recommends attending professional association meetings in a related field, as well as those in your own specialty。
朱莉•詹森是一位职业辅导和作家，她推荐人们参加一些相关领域的职业协会，和自己从事领域有直接关系的当然也可以。
For example, although your experience may be in marketing, add gatherings for finance executives or other fields in which you could apply your skills and experience to your regular schedule of ad and marketing group meetings。
比如，你可能在市场营销方面有经验，参加一些金融管理或者其他领域的聚会，你就能把自己的技巧和经验应用到广告和市场团队聚会中。
Another networking strategy is to give it the old college try, by tapping alumni, even those you don't know。
另一个人脉策略是学校策略，联系一些校友，即使是那些你不认识的校友。
"Most universities have online directors of alumni, so I'd go that route if possible," says Jansen. "If not, contacting the alumni office would be Plan B."
詹森说，“大部分大学都有在线的校友联系人，如果可能的话我会走那个路线，如果这行不通，备选方案是联系校友办公室。”
Check Your Skill Set
确认你的技能
Although you may not have the time or financial resources to pursue an advanced degree, taking additional coursework in your field to boost specific skills can get you noticed by a recruiter. Also, don't forget to cite key experience gained from volunteering for community, school, or nonprofit groups。
虽然你不见得有时间或者经济条件追求一个更高的学位，但是参加一些跟自己领域相关的课程来提升自己的技能会让你引起招聘者的注意。还有，不要忘记说说从那些社区、学校或者公益组织的志愿活动中你得到的宝贵经验。
"Look at your transferrable skills, including project management, budgeting, supervising others, and organizational planning," Ryan says。
莱恩说，“审视一下自己的可变通能力，包括项目管理、预算、指导他人，以及组织计划等方面的能力。”
Know Your Worth
知道自己的价值
Even during a downturn, it's a mistake to settle for less just to get the job. Before accepting an offer, consult a salary survey or online salary calculator to make sure the package is competitive within your field。
即使在经济下滑的时候，为找工作降低薪酬也是个错误。在接受一个offer之前，做个薪水调查或者用个在线的薪水计算器来确保你的薪水在同行业是比较有竞争力的。
"It's an outdated idea that you should take anything to get your foot in the door," Ryan says. "It could take you 10 years to get a decent salary."
莱恩说，“为了踏入职场大门什么都接受的观点已经过时了，因为那样的话你可能要奋斗十年才能拿到一个合适的薪水。”
Do It Daily
每天都做
Whether it's posting your resume in the common area of your apartment building, or sharing your job hunt with your doctor, dentist, dermatologist, or gynecologist, you should incorporate your search for work into every aspect of your daily life。
不管是在你的公寓平常的地方贴简历还是告诉你的个人医生、牙医、皮肤科医生、妇科医生你在找工作，你应该让找工作这件事渗透到你日常生活的各个方面。
"Do something every single day that is about looking for a job," Jansen says。
詹森说，“和找工作有关的事情每天都要做。”
