Time is money -- whether you've got a job or not. While it may be tempting to chase down every possibility when you're searching for work, don't. Many can lead you down a blind alley -- where you may lose the contents of your wallet.

時間就是金錢，不管你找到工作與否。雖說在找工作的過程中要抓住每一個機會聽起來很誘人，但是不要這樣做。很多機會可能會讓你進入一個損失錢財?shù)乃篮?/div>

A focused search using tried and true methods, especially networking, will lead to your next job, not tactics that smack of desperation.

在找工作的時候，不是靠那些無用的戰(zhàn)術(shù)理論，而是有重點(特別是在人際網(wǎng)絡(luò)方面)地使用正確的、可靠的方法才能找到下一份工作。

Avoid these five job-hunting "don'ts" that will yield the poorest of results, according to leading workplace advisor Liz Ryan.

根據(jù)職場顧問的領(lǐng)尖人物Liz Ryan的建議，要警惕以下5個求職者不能做的事情，來避免最差的求職結(jié)果。

1. Spray and pray

廣撒網(wǎng)，然后祈禱

Don't blindly send your resumeun solicited, electronically or otherwise, to any company without first making verbal contact. Says Ryan, founder of , "Tossingout un-customized cover letters and undifferentiated resumes in huge volumes and crossing your fingers is a job-search non-starter. That doesn't work, and it hasn't worked in 10 years, or more." Establish aconnection before sending a customized cover letter and, adds Ryan,"You can even customize your resume if a job opening calls for it."

不要在未和公司有任何聯(lián)系之前，就盲目主動地發(fā)送你的簡歷過去。網(wǎng)站的創(chuàng)始人Ryan說：“大批量地在網(wǎng)上或在人才市場投遞沒有規(guī)劃的求職信和千遍一律的簡歷是求職中毫無意義的事。這樣做起不到作用，在過去10年或更久的時間內(nèi)都沒有起過作用?！痹诎l(fā)送一封特制的求職信之前要和公司建立一定聯(lián)系。Ryan還說：“如果工作職位需要的話，你甚至需要定制你的簡歷。”

2. Stand in line for a job fair

排隊等待參加招聘會

Admits Ryan, "Sad to say, but most job fairs are a waste of time. Avoid the huge cattle call-type job fairs where zillions of employers have booths, yet no one is taking resumes."There are some job fairs that have value. Ryan, a former human resources executive, points to company-specific open hours and college placement job fairs. Tap your network to learn if anyone can recommend worthwhile fairs. "Ask around before you head off to a job fair or risk having your time wasted and your ego dashed."

“很不幸的是，大部分的招聘會都只是浪費時間。不要去參加那種雖然有著龐大的雇主攤位數(shù)量，但是沒人收簡歷的大型招聘會。Ryan以前是一位人力資源經(jīng)理，他指出要參加的話就去那種指定公司指定時間的、或大學里舉行的招聘會。在你的人際網(wǎng)絡(luò)中看看是否有人能夠向你推薦值得參加的招聘會。他說：“在你去參加一次招聘會之前問問周圍的人，否則的話只會浪費你的時間、走向失敗而已。
