It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses. Or, job seekers can look up the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new jobs each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called What Color is Your Parachute? by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in 1970.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W.

If you come by right now, the receptionist said, the dentist will fit you in.I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasnt he as busy as the others?In the dentists office, I sat down and looked around.

The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, Dont worry. The dentist is very good. How long do I have to wait for him? I asked impatiently. Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork, the assistant said. The artwork? I was puzzled.The chair went back.

That same year, my mom moved to Los Angeles (L.A.) and a therapist (治疗师) was hired to decide where I would live. Playing with a dollhouse in her office, I showed her the mothers room on one side and the fathers room on the other. When she asked me about the little boys room, I told her the little boy didnt know where to sleep. The therapist finally decided I would stay with my dad during the school years and visit my mom on long holidays and for summers. I began flying between two cities and leading two different lives. I remember my last school day in Grade Six. My friends made plans to go to the beach together, but I couldnt join them because I had to fly to L.A. It wasnt that I didnt want to see my mom and stepdad; I just didnt want to leave my friends. In the morning, my dad drove me to school with my packed bags, and after school, my friends went together, and I went to the airport. What has come of this in the end is that Im always missing somebody. When Im in northern Californis, I miss my mom and stepdad, while in L.
