工作找不到!這些錯(cuò)誤你犯了嗎?

　　1. Using a generic cover letter.

　　使用千篇一律的求職信

　　If you're not customizing your letter for the company you're applying to and showing why you're especially interested in the firm, you're sending a bad message.

　　如果你在申請(qǐng)一家公司，卻沒(méi)有遞上個(gè)性化的求職信，沒(méi)有表現(xiàn)出自己特別中意這家公司，那么你就是在發(fā)出糟糕的訊息。

　　You're signaling to that potential employer that it's merely one of many companies you're applying to, says Richard LaPalme, an employment coach in Agawam, Mass.

　　馬薩諸塞州阿格瓦姆(Agawam)的就業(yè)指導(dǎo)者拉帕姆(Richard LaPalme)說(shuō)，實(shí)際上你向潛在雇主發(fā)出的信號(hào)是，這只是你申請(qǐng)的諸多公司中的一家。

　　2. Avoiding friends and family.

　　躲避親朋

　　While you might feel embarrassed if you're out of work and looking for a new job, don't let that prevent you from telling friends and relatives that you're on the hunt.

　　暫時(shí)無(wú)業(yè)、尋找新工作時(shí)，你可能會(huì)覺(jué)得難為情，但不要因此“閉門造車”，應(yīng)該告訴親朋好友你在找工作。

　　They may know people you could meet who could help you find a position, says Tom Gimbel, chief executive of staffing firm LaSalle Network in Chicago.

　　芝加哥獵頭公司LaSalle Network的首席執(zhí)行長(zhǎng)金貝爾(Tom Gimbel)說(shuō)，他們也許認(rèn)識(shí)一些能幫你找到某個(gè)職位的人，你不妨去見(jiàn)見(jiàn)這些人。

　　3. Relying on online job boards.

　　依賴網(wǎng)上招聘平臺(tái)

　　You probably won't get far by continually sending your r谷sum谷 into the black hole of online postings.

　　不斷向網(wǎng)上發(fā)布的職位黑洞投簡(jiǎn)歷，這樣做很可能不會(huì)為你帶來(lái)多大收獲。

　　A broad network will help you find openings on the so-called 'hidden' job market, where positions aren't formally posted but applicants are found through word-of-mouth or referrals.

　　廣泛的人脈會(huì)幫助你在所謂的“隱形”就業(yè)市場(chǎng)上找到職位空缺。那個(gè)市場(chǎng)不會(huì)正式公布招聘職位，而是通過(guò)口碑或推薦來(lái)尋找申請(qǐng)者。

　　4. Lack of interview specifics.

　　面試時(shí)缺乏對(duì)自己的細(xì)節(jié)介紹

　　When interviewing, if you're not emphasizing specific strengths and giving detailed examples of your previous accomplishments, you won't help your candidacy, says Mr. Gimbel.

　　金貝爾說(shuō)，面試的時(shí)候，如果不強(qiáng)調(diào)自己的具體優(yōu)勢(shì)，不詳細(xì)描述以前工作成就的案例，對(duì)于你的申請(qǐng)資格可沒(méi)有什么幫助。

　　Also make sure to politely follow up every time you meet a potential employer or a new contact in an industry to thank them for their time meeting you.

　　另外，每次與一個(gè)潛在雇主或一個(gè)剛建立聯(lián)系的業(yè)內(nèi)人士會(huì)面后，一定要禮貌地采取后續(xù)行動(dòng)，感謝他們抽出時(shí)間來(lái)見(jiàn)你。

　　5. Not knowing the company.

　　不了解目標(biāo)公司

　　Some job seekers hurt their own chances by neglecting to do basic research on the company that they're interviewing with.

　　有些求職者比較大意，沒(méi)有在面試前對(duì)公司進(jìn)行大致了解，這樣會(huì)影響自己的求職機(jī)會(huì)。

　　Be sure to research your target company's people, products and services, says Mr. LaPalme.

　　拉帕姆說(shuō)，務(wù)必要調(diào)查目標(biāo)公司的人員、產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)。

　　6. Not hunting hard enough.

　　找得不夠努力

　　When out of work, treat the job hunt as a full-time job. Dedicate time to the search every day, even if you get discouraged by rejections.

　　失業(yè)時(shí)，要把找工作當(dāng)成一份全職工作來(lái)做。每天都要花時(shí)間來(lái)查找招聘信息，即使屢次被拒讓你覺(jué)得灰心。

　　7. Showing negativity.

　　流露消極情緒

　　While rejections are disappointing, keep a positive attitude during any interaction with a potential employer, says Joanie Ruge, senior vice president of Monster.com.

　　招聘網(wǎng)站高級(jí)副總裁魯格(Joanie Ruge)說(shuō)，雖然被拒令人失望，但與潛在雇主進(jìn)行互動(dòng)時(shí)，仍要保持積極的態(tài)度。

　　"Employers don't want to hire someone who's going to bring past problems or frustrations to their workforce," she says.

　　魯格說(shuō)，雇主不會(huì)希望雇用一個(gè)會(huì)把以前的問(wèn)題或挫折帶到現(xiàn)有團(tuán)隊(duì)的人。
