I was lucky enough to get my first part-time job because my mom shopped several times a week in our local grocery store and she heard they needed staff. I worked part-time during high school, full-time during the summer, and during breaks from college. Two of my three brothers ended up working in the store, too. My other brother worked in the drug store across the street which, of course, was also frequented by my mom on a regular basis. More than a few years later, that's still one of the best ways to find a job, though I had never heard of the term "networking" back then.
我幸运地找到第一份工作是因为我妈妈每周去当地的杂货店逛几次，然后她打听到他们要招人。我在高中、大学课余时间都一直在做兼职，并利用暑假做全职工作。我三个兄弟中的两个最后也在商店打工。我的另外一个兄弟在街角那家药店做兼职，当然这也是我妈妈经常光顾的据点之一。几年之后，这仍是找到工作的最佳方法之一。虽然，我当时并没听到过“人际关系网”这样的说法。

Apply in Person
亲自去申请

Interested in retail employment? One of the best ways to find a part-time retail job, if you don't have connections that can help, is by applying in person. Walk through your local town or the mall and you'll see Help Wanted signs in many storefront windows. If you don't see a sign, ask about openings. The same scenario applies to resort or seasonal employment. Applying in person is often the best mechanism for finding a job.
对零售店的招聘感兴趣？如果你没有可以帮忙的关系，那么找到零售工作最好的方法就是，亲自去面试。在当地的城镇或商业街去看看，你可以看到商店的窗户上贴着的招聘广告。如果你没有看到这样的广告的话，就进去问问是否招人。同样，这也可以作为求职中的最后手段以及寻找季节性的工作。亲自去找活干通常是找到工作的最好方法。

Students should visit their High School Guidance office or college Career Services and Student Employment offices to get listings of local part-time opportunities.
学生的话应该去高校指导办公室或大学生职业服务中心，学生职业办公室等地方寻找兼职岗位的清单。
