新年求职7大奇招

Over Lunch
午餐时间

Search for organizations on that do the kind of work you're interested in. Use this site, as well as resources like your college career center or alumni network, to connect with individuals currently working in your target fields. Email them and request a half hour informational interview in which you ask specific questions about training requirements, responsibilities, salary, work environment, and opportunities for advancement. As long as you are polite, no one will fault you for wanting the real scoop.
在网站上搜索那些提供你感兴趣工作的公司。利用该网站，以及大学职业指导中心或校友会等资源去结交那些当前在你的目标行业的从业人士。给他们发邮件预约一次为期一个小时的非正式面谈，然后当面向他们咨询有关培训要求、职责、薪水、工作环境、晋升的机会等的明确信息。只要你很礼貌，没人会因为你想知道真实的行业内幕而责怪你。

Before You Leave Work
下班之前

When you're finished with your daily duties, stay after hours and check out an online course designed to help you facilitate a career change. Online video presentations often provide the same value as more expensive, time-consuming, and difficult-to-travel-to seminars. Feel free to check out for an example.
在你完成了一天的工作之后，继续在办公室呆几个小时，找一找那些旨在帮助你转行的在线课程。在线的视频演讲和那些既昂贵又耗时、还很难去参加的研讨会效果是一样的。比如你可以尽情访问网站。

On the Train Home
在回家的车上

Many people resist changing careers because they feel like they can't afford it. Start creating a nest egg for your transition now by creating a spreadsheet in your Blackberry or PDA that keeps track of where your money is going on a daily basis. If you do this on the train for a month or even just for a few weeks, you'll be amazed at the data you'll accumulate.
很多人不敢转行是因为他们觉得自己负担不起。从现在开始为你的转行存一笔储蓄吧，在你的蓝莓或多普达上建立一份电子数据表记录你每天的消费记录。如果你每隔一个月，甚至是每隔几个星期在回家的车上做一次这样的记录，你将会惊讶于自己积累的数据。

You'll start to see patterns of unnecessary spending (your morning Starbucks run, sushi takeout, etc.) and areas where you can tighten your belt. A great question to ask yourself is: "Do I really need this?" If you honestly don't, then put the money away for your career change.
你将会统计出不必要的消费模式，总结出你可以在哪些领域节省资金。有个很好的方法就是问问你自己“我真的需要这样吗？”如果你确实不需要的话，就将这笔钱节约起来留作转行所用吧。
