Before you agree to help your friends with their job search and applications, it's important to know your boundaries. You don't want to set yourself up for a huge commitment, but you do want to be a supportive and helpful friend.
在你答應(yīng)幫助朋友找工作之前，先想想自己有多大的能力，這一點(diǎn)很重要。你不需要給朋友做出太大的承諾，但你需要給予他們支持和幫助。

1.Give advice based on your skills– Perhaps you are a great communicator and networker but terrible at grammar. Only help your friend in areas where you feel strong and confident.
根據(jù)你的技能來(lái)提出建議——也許你擅長(zhǎng)交際，很會(huì)搜索東西，但你的語(yǔ)法不好，那么你只需要在你自信又擅長(zhǎng)的領(lǐng)域里幫助你的朋友就可以了。

2.Respond promptly– You have a busy schedule too, but it's important that if you agree to help them, respond to their emails or phone calls in a timely manner.
及時(shí)回復(fù)——如果你答應(yīng)了幫朋友找工作的話，就算你的工作很忙，也要及時(shí)回復(fù)他們的郵件或電話。

3.Make small edits to cover letters and resumés– Do check for grammatical errors and clarity, but don't tear apart their work and make elaborate changes. After all, their work must showcase and maintain their voice.
幫忙改改朋友的求職信和簡(jiǎn)歷——幫著看看有沒(méi)有語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤，結(jié)構(gòu)是不是清晰。但不要把朋友的工作弄得支離破碎，也不要去做一些花里胡哨的改變。畢竟，他們做過(guò)的事才是亮點(diǎn)，要保證讓他們發(fā)出自己的聲音。

4.Offer a list of informative websites– If you don't want to spend a lot of time going over all the gritty formalities of the job application process, recommend a few websites that cover the basics of how to build a resumé and prepare for the interview.
提供有用的網(wǎng)站——如果你不想花大把時(shí)間在幫朋友處理工作申請(qǐng)流程的話，那么就給他們推薦一些有用的網(wǎng)站吧，主要是那些指導(dǎo)如何寫(xiě)簡(jiǎn)歷，如何準(zhǔn)備面試的網(wǎng)站。

5.Always be supportive– Job searches can be tough on the morale and confidence, and many people become hypersensitive during this time. Find ways to be uplifting and encouraging to your friend, and be constructive in your criticism.
做堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的后盾——找工作的時(shí)候，對(duì)于士氣和自信是很大的考驗(yàn)。很多人在找工作的時(shí)候會(huì)變得異常敏感。想辦法給朋友加油打氣，激勵(lì)他們，提出的意見(jiàn)也要是有建設(shè)性的。

6.Conduct a mock interview– Without interruptions, play the role as the hiring manager, and ask your friend questions that they will anticipate for the real interview. Listen to their answers carefully, jot down good and bad observations, and go over your suggestions afterward.
模擬面試——不要有任何的打斷，你來(lái)扮演面試官，向你的朋友提出各種在真實(shí)面試中可能會(huì)被問(wèn)到的問(wèn)題。仔細(xì)聽(tīng)他們的答案，把好的和不好的表現(xiàn)都記錄下來(lái)，并在模擬面試后給出自己的建議。

7.Leave details to the experts– While there are some universal rules for the application process, don't assume that you know their industry. Answer general questions, but suggest that they turn to another friend for details or a trustworthy perspective.
把細(xì)節(jié)問(wèn)題交給專(zhuān)家——盡管在申請(qǐng)工作的過(guò)程中有些共性的東西，但不要以為自己對(duì)每一個(gè)行業(yè)都很了解?；卮鹉切┚哂衅者m性的問(wèn)題，細(xì)節(jié)方面，可以建議你的朋友去找另一個(gè)更懂行的朋友。
