There are many ways to find a job. It can
be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement(通告) board. Local stores often
have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they
need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning
houses.
Or, job searchers can look in the
newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies
seeking(尋找)
workers.
Another popular tool for finding jobs is
the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the
world can use the Craigslist(網(wǎng)站名)Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says
that it receives two million new job listings each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through
a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in
Austin（奧斯丁 (美國得克薩斯州首府)） can go to the Career
Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job
requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book
called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落傘)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a
career (職業(yè)) since
it was first published in nineteen seventy.
Some experts(專家) also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns
a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her
company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their
strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and
resources(對(duì)策) to
help them find the right job.
