candidates.Thus,youmustconvinceyourpotentialemployersthatyouarethatonespecialpersontheyhavebeenlookingfor.Withalittleguidance,youcandoit.如何获得心仪的工作要得到心仪的工作需要有动力、精力和准备。虽然你可以胜任许多职位，但现在好工作竞争非常激烈，因为资格差不多的求职者可能有十多个甚至更多。因此，你得让可能成为你老板的人相信你才是他们一直在寻找的那个特别人选。只需要一点指导，你就能够做到这点。TextAIwasshockedwhenIlearnedthatapersonmusttreatlookingforajoblikeajobitself.Inotherwords,ifyouinvestthesameamountofenergyinyourjobhuntasyoudoinyourwork,youwillfindajobmuchsooner.However,thisruledoesnotapplytothepersonwhoalreadyhasajob—don’tleaveityet!Itismucheasiertogofromonejobtoanotherthantoquitandstartfromgroundzero.你必须把找工作本身当成一种工作，当我了解这一点时是有些吃惊的。换句话说，如果你在找工作当中投入和你真的上班时一样多的精力，那么就能更快地找到工作。然而，这一法则不适用于已经有工作的人——先别放弃你的工作！换工作比辞职之后再从头开始要容易得多。TextAOnewaytolookforajobwithoutriskingyourcurrentpositionistojoinaprofessionalsocietyinyourfieldofinterest—andplayanactiveroleinit.Thiswillhelpyoutogettoknowpeople,liketopmanagersincompaniesyou’dliketoworkfor,thatyouwouldnototherwisemeet.Anotherbigchallengeistheinterview—itiscritical.有一种方法可以让你在不危及目前职位的情况下，去寻找一份新的工作：参加与你的兴趣领域对口的专业社团，并积极参与其中。这样有助于你认识人，比如你想就职的公司的老总们，不然这些人你是遇不到的。另一个重大挑战是面试——面试是很关键的。TextAPsychologistshavestudiedjobinterviewsandfoundthattheyconsistoftwomainparts.Ifyouspoilthefirstpart,yourchancesofgettingthejobwillbeextremelyslim,nomatterhowwellyouhandlethesecondpart.心理学家在研究了求职面试后发现，面试包括两大部分。如果你搞砸了第一部分，那么无论你在第二部分的表现有多么出色，你获得该份工作的希望都会非常渺茫。TextAIcallthefirstpartthe“30-SecondRoadBlock,”becauseresearchhasshownthatmostemployersjudgetheircandidates’suitabilityinthefirst30seconds.This30-seconddecisionisbasedonwhatpsychologistscallthehaloeffect,whichreferstoaperson’sfirstimpressionofyou.Unfortunately,firstimpressionsarenotalwaysgoodimpressions.Atitsbest,though,thehaloeffectcanmakepeoplethinkwearebetterthanweare.我把第一部分称为“30秒关卡”，因为研究表明大部分雇主在面试的头30秒内就判定了应聘者是否适合做这项工作。这种30秒判定法是基于心理学家所说的“光环效应”，它指的是别人对你的第一印象。不幸的是，第一印象并非总是好印象。不过，最佳发挥下产生的“光环效应”却会使别人觉得我们比本身更好。TextAUponentrytotheinterview,remembertocomposeyourself,smile,useafirmhandshake,andlooktheinterviewerintheeye.Dothis,andyou’llclearthe30-SecondRoadBlockwithflyingcolors.Inaddition,bepreparedtoanswerthefollowingthreequestionsthatalmosteveryinterviewerasks.It’swisetothinkaboutyouranswersacoupleofdaysinadvance;thepersonwhodecidesjusttowingitwillnevermakeasfavorableanimpressionassomeonewhoisprepared.一进入面试现场，记住要保持镇静，面带微笑，握手有力，并直视面试官。这么做，你将会漂亮地闯过30秒关卡。此外，要准备回答下面三个问题，这些问题几乎所有的面试官都会问到。明智的做法是提前几天想好答案；和有备而来的人相比，决定临时应付的人永远也不会给人留下太好的印象。TextAThesamplequestionsare:a)“So,youareinterestedinworkingasanassistantinourlaboratory—isthatcorrect?”Theanswerisnotsimply“Yes.”TheanswerisyesPLUS—asin,“Yes,I’mveryinterestedinthisposition.It’sexactlythekindofopeningI’vebeenhopingtofind.”Keepyouranswershort,butneverreplywithanakedyesorno.这三个样板问题如下：1.这么说，你有兴趣在我们实验室当一名助手，是吗？回答不能简单说“是”。回答“是”后要再加上些内容，比如“是的，我对该职位非常感兴趣，这正是我期待找到的工作。”回答要简洁，但永远也别只苍白地回答“是”或“不是”。TextAb)“Whydoyouwantthisjob?”Onemanagertoldmethatwhencandidatesanswerthisquestionwith“Ithinkitwillbeinteresting”or“I’mtoldthisisagoodcompany,”hecrossesthemoffhislistimmediately.“Thisimpliesthattheyhaven’tanyideaofwhattheyreallywanttodoandhaven’tgivenanythoughttowhatthejobinvolves,”heexplained.2.你为什么看中这份工作？某位经理告诉我，如果应聘者对此问题回答说“我觉得这个工作会很有趣”或“我听人说这是家好公司”，他会立即把他们从名单上删除。“这意味着他们根本就不了解自己想做什么，也没考虑过这份工作有哪些要求。”他解释道。TextAc)“Whatcanyoutellmeaboutyourself?”TheinterviewerdoesNOTwantyourlifehistory.Whatheorsheislookingforisevidenceofyourcharacter,ability,anddrive.That’sit!Ifyoufollowtheseinstructions,youarecertaintogetthejobyouwant.Goodluck!3.能给我讲讲你自己吗？面试官并非想了解你的人生历程。他们要的是能证明你品格、能力、动力的东西。就这些了！如果你遵循上述指南，你肯定会找到心仪的工作。祝你好运！TextAInthispassage,theauthorprovidessometipsonhowtogetthejobonewants.Accordingtotheauthor,onemustfirsttakejobhuntingveryseriously.Inparticular,interviewsarecriticalforjobhunting,sooneshouldtrytomakeagoodimpressionduringajobinterview.Theauthorencouragesreaderstopreparewellinadvanceforinterviews,andtousetheinstructionsinthetextasasteppingstonetotheirdreamjob.MainIdeaPartsParagraphsMainideasIntroduction1Gettingthejobyouwantrequiresdrive,energyandpreparation.Body2–101.Howtolookforajobwithoutriskingyourcurrentposition(Paras.2–4)2.Howtocompleteasuccessfulinterviewa)Aninterviewconsistsoftwoparts.Don’tspoilthefirstpart;composeyourself,smile,etc.tomakeagoodimpressioninthefirst30seconds.(Paras.5–8)b)Getpreparedinadvanceforthethreesamplequestions.(Paras.9–10)Conclusion11Theinstructionsmentionedabovewillcertainlyhelpyougetthejobyouwant.TextATextStructure→ExerciseNEWWORDSdrivequalifydozenqualifiedemployerguidanceshockinvesthuntapplyprofessionalotherwiseinterviewcriticalspoilslimhandlejudgesuitabilityhaloentrycomposehandshakeadditionadvancewingfavorableassistantlaboratorynakedimplyinstructionPHRASES&EXPRESSIONSinotherwordsstartfromgroundzerorefertoatsb.’s/sth.’sbestlooksb.intheeyewithflyingcolorscrossoffthat’sitIfyouwanttogetyouridealjob,youshouldbedetermined,energetic,andwell-prepared.Gettingthejobyouwantrequiresdrive,energy,andpreparation.MeaningBacktoTextAlthoughyoumayhavetheabilitytodomanydifferentjobs,nowadaysit’snoteasytogetgoodonesbecausesomanyotherpeoplew
