1. Study a foreign language.
学一门新的外语

Have you always dreamed of learning to speak Spanish or French? Now is the perfect time to learn. There are dozens of language instruction books and audio programs available. Checking out books and CDs from your local library gets you access to lessons for free. If you learn better by being in a classroom environment, many local colleges and adult education centers offer inexpensive courses. Adding language skills to your resume will help you stand out, as more and more companies seek bilingual applicants.
你是否经常梦想着学会说西班牙语或法语?现在正是学习的最佳时机。可利用的语言教科书和教学音频非常多。到当地图书馆去找书和CD,可以让你免费学习。如果你想去教室里更好地学习的话,当地的大学以及成人教育中心有很多不是很贵的课程。在简历上多增加一门会的语言会让你与众不同,越来越多的公司追求掌握多种语言的候选人。

2. Volunteer for a committee.
成为一家委员会的志愿者。

Are you passionate about the environment or feeding the hungry? Volunteering for a committee is an excellent way to give back to your community while working alongside others in a laid-back atmosphere. Look for committees that attract professionals in your industry so that you can make contacts. Committees meet anywhere from several months to a year or more -- helping you form lasting relationships. Be sure to add your volunteer work to your resume. Serving as a chair will showcase your leadership skills to potential employers.
你对周围的环境充满热情还是在抑制你的渴望?去一家委员会当志愿者不仅是回报你所在社团的最好方法,还可以使你在一个悠闲的环境中和别人一起工作。寻找那些能够引起你所在行业专业人士注意的社团,这样你就可以拓展你的交际圈。任何地方的委员会都可以让你呆数月,一年甚至更长时间,这样有助于你建立长久的关系。要确保在简历上添加了这段志愿者的经历。如果是在委员会当主席的话能够向潜在雇主证明你的领导能力。
