Talk about it Write about it Reference Key There are several things you cannot ignore when tracking down information on job openings.

Next, remember to register with two or three recruitment agencies. Finally, don’t forget to make use of the Internet. In today’s society the Internet is a quick and cost-effective method for employers to announce their employment needs. Therefore, if you log onto the Internet, you just might find your dream job. 译文 鼠标轻点，美梦成真 还有不到一个月就要毕业了，特里萨·史密斯还没找到合适的工作，她就读于位于伊利诺州埃文斯顿的西北大学。就业指导中心建议这位文科生去查查JOB-TRAK网站，该网站上列出了45,000个初级水平的职位。

史密斯选择了四个关键词：Chicago（芝加哥），business（商务），marketing（营销），full time（全职）。她马上就找到45个工作合乎她的标准，其中一个是芝加哥商业学院行政助理。四个星期以后，她得到了这份工作，底薪32,000美元。

“我没有受过任何训练，”史密斯说，“但因特网使用很简单。要是没有因特网，我根本不会知道有这份工作。”

不少美国人鼠标一点，就找到了自己的工作。史密斯是其中一个，另一个例子是斯蒂芬·图尔斯。

他住在马里兰州的罗科维尔，1996年无意中进到一个招聘网站CareerBuilder。他在一家生产商展展品的公司工作，刚被提升为营销总管，并不想换工作。但是出于好奇心，他决定“试试看”。

图尔斯填写了一份简历，关键词是market manager（行销经理），并输入了自己的电子邮箱地址。不到一个星期，他的邮箱里就塞满了可供选择的职位。他去了两家公司面试，然后就跳槽了。“有了因特网，就像雇了一个私人助理，”图尔斯说。“你可以毫不费劲地留意到一些机会，让你的事业上一个新台阶。”

仅在两年以前，因特网上提供的工作绝大部分还局限于高科技领域。现在，非技术性的工作，如售货员、银行职员、秘书等，是网上招聘机会增长最为迅速的部分。大型报纸和专业出版物的分类广告大多都有在线版，求职者能搜索到市内、国内甚至国外的一些工作机会。

1996年，圣路易斯的一名高中老师，28岁的马德琳·格拉格，想换个工作。有个朋友提到在日本教书的事，格拉格很感兴趣。

她访问了著名的yahoo！网站，输入了

teaching English in Japan（在日本教英语），找到了一个招聘机会的列表，然后按照在线申请的要求提交了申请。一星期后，她接到一个电话，与芝加哥的一名招聘人员进行了面试，得到了这份工作。

27岁的内德扎德·多兹里克，当时在浏览Houston Chronicle网站，了解最新的棒球消息。在线时，他查看了分类广告，发现一家当地的汽车交易商招聘司机。多兹里克是波斯尼亚的战争难民，曾从事过多种不同的工作，但现在他想换个工作。他从该交易商的网站上了解了该职位的更多情况，然后拨通了上面提供的电话。两天后，他被雇用了。“真有意思，”他说，“我本来只是在查看体育消息，结果却找到了一份更好的工作。”

因特网的另一个好处在于你能够搜索到一些可能的雇主。1997年夏天，温蒂·梅洛开始找工作，她登录到CareerBuilder网站，发现在马里兰州哥伦比亚的Artitron媒体信息服务公司的人力资源部有一个空缺。梅洛鼠标一点，用电子邮件把简历寄到了该公司，很快就收到面试通知。

为了了解该公司的更多情况，她又点击了Artitron的主页，以及它的母公司Ceridian Corp.的主页，查看了一份该公司的年度报告及其财政状况。

梅洛还想了解，要想维持现有的生活水平，自己该赚多少钱。她使用在线薪酬计算器，把自己目前的收入$34,000输进去，再输入Baltimore（巴尔的摩，离哥伦比亚最近的大城市）。短短几秒钟后，电脑屏幕上就闪现出$44,000。“因为有了这个薪酬计算器，我才知道自己该要多少薪水，”梅洛说。

马德琳·格拉格和内德扎德·多兹里克也是通过轻点鼠标，在网上碰到了好运。

通过上网进入一家在线房地产服务公司网站，梅洛看到了可供租用的房子的彩色照片，包括很详细的楼面格局图。梅洛来到哥伦比亚时，她觉得自己完全做好了准备。面试成功了，第二天，她就得到了一份工作，薪金是47,8000美元。

“因特网很容易使用，而且确实有效，”一个求职者说道，“你还要什么呢？”

梦想的工作：大学生的选择 你想在哪儿工作？ 一份新的调查结果显示，答银行降，政府升 案在很大程度上取决于你是创业型、理想型还是领袖型。

对最近的大学毕业生而言，求职很像在相亲约会时寻找一个伴侣。双方的性格扮演着重要的角色。人人都希望找一个可以真心交往的人，要是长相亮丽也绝无坏处。如果求职真是一场“相亲游戏”，那“谷歌”会是所有性格类型中最受欢迎的钻石王老五，而苹果和华尔特·迪士尼将紧随其后。

谷歌以外，2011年最受欢迎的雇主名单不乏意外。首先，银行、石油公司和四大会计公司对商科学生已失去了昔日的一些光辉。银行业在金融危机中的角色，英国石油公司（BP）在墨西哥湾的漏油灾难所造成的环境和经济后果也许起了一定的作用。

此外，政府和非营利机构也迎来了一个丰收之

调查机构美国优信咨询公司在其对美国大学生列出他们心目中理想雇主的特点，并将调查结果分为七种性格类型：成就型寻找的是知名品牌以及只招聘最优秀最有才华人才的雇主；创业型想为成长迅速、工作环境富有创意的公司效力；求索型追求的是充满挑战的工作和变化多样的任务；和谐型寻求的是工作和生活的平衡与稳定的职业；逐利型欣赏的是有竞争力的底薪和可观的未来薪酬；理想型青睐的是友好的工作环境和较高的道德水准；而领袖型需要的是成为领导的机会和导师。

优信咨询接着要求大学生们列出他们最想为之效力的五家雇主。优信咨询没有给出综合评分的赢家，但在过去四年中每年都夺冠的谷歌仍然是最受欢迎的，在五种性格类型中高居榜首，在全部七种性格类型中都进入了前三。苹果公司在六种性格类型中进入了前三名，而迪士尼在五种中位列前三，理想型还将其列为第一，超过了谷歌。 机遇的魅力

“多样性对我们的业务和文化都至关重要，”计划部经理。“员工必须能反应我们的用户群，这意味着我们需要雇用想法、背景、信仰和种族各异的员工。但吸引那么多人来谷歌的还是充满挑战的工作。”

年，在全部七种性格类型中都占据了前10名的半壁将政府机构列为首选的成就型中分别占了第一位和第二位，联合国、美国国务院、国家安全局也在这个类型中跻身前20名。 其他热门公司

成就型将政府机构视作通往飞黄腾达的门票，而理想型则可能将迪士尼视为地球上最幸福的地方，至少对于员工来说是如此。迪士尼给每个人提供的不只是工作。员工能得到非常优异的培训和继续培养，以拓展他们的职业生涯。还有众多机会可与公司主要领导沟通，更有在公司内得到晋升和调动的无限可能。苹果公司在商科学生中综合排名第二，在七种性格类型中的六种排名上升。公司吸引年轻人的一个可能原因是它的时尚手机、音乐播放器和平板电脑，以及它富有创意工作环境的盛名，优信咨询在斯德哥尔摩的首席执行官彼得?尼兰德如是说。

尼兰德还说，要说这个调查彰显了什么的话，那就是年轻人希望雇主能认同他们的价值观，适合他们自我认知的那些公司，”他说，“如今，你的身份与你所效力的公司息息相关。你的工作情况强烈地反映出自身各方面的信息。”

进行的一年一度的调查中，请60 000余名调查对象江山。中央情报局（CIA）和联邦调查局（FBI）在
