By Alexandra Levit, Author, "They Don't Teach Corporate in College: A Twenty-Something's Guide to the Business World"
I will never forget how lost I felt the summer after my graduation from college, and in the nine years since, I've spoken to countless 20-somethings who feel incredibly pressured to find their true calling immediately and build a successful career in a particular field before their 25th birthdays.
A more realistic challenge is to ease yourself slowly into the work world by following a few strategies that many people don't try until they're well into their 30s. School probably taught you a lot of things, but the business world's unique set of rules may not have been part of the story.
Hopefully these tips will get you started on the right foot
Pick a Career Instead of a Job
Looking for a job haphazardly, because you majored in something or because you saw a listing that looks somewhat interesting, you'll risk getting started in a career that holds no real appeal for you, and then you'll have to leave it to find something else. Why not plan your career strategically, just like you planned your education?
Start by doing a self-assessment that teaches you things about yourself that you might never have thought about -- for example, what you like and don't like in a work environment, what defines success for you, and what type of work would make you want to sit in traffic for hours just for the privilege of showing up. Knowing these things can help you determine which occupations could be a good fit for you.
If You Can't Get a Job Right Away, Don't Despair
If you start thinking of yourself as a victim or allow yourself to lapse into prolonged negativity, you won't be hurting anyone except yourself. Worrying until you get sick, abusing drugs or denying that you've reached an impasse won't help either. The best strategy for moving on is to recognize the reality of the situation, acknowledge your feelings and find a way to cope productively. Reach out to your support systems, and consider taking some time off -- after all, you'll never have the freedom of being between school and work again!
Network Like Mad in Your Chosen Field
A huge percentage of job openings aren't advertised because employers prefer to hire people through word of mouth. Developing relationships with people working in your field, then, means that you're top of mind whenever they hear of a new opportunity.
Learn about new contacts by researching firms in your industry, joining social networking sites like LinkedIn, asking your parents' friends, and joining relevant professional associations. Approach individuals by e-mail first, and don't put them on the defensive by asking for a job outright. Instead, show curiosity about their career path and see if they'll agree to lunch or coffee.
Hone Your Reputation as a Can-Do, Enthusiastic Employee
Don't have a sense of entitlement -- your company isn't responsible for your career growth: you are. Only approach your boss with a problem or complaint if you've explored all options for resolving it yourself. When you do, be prepared with a solution you could implement with her help.
The words I don't have time should never escape your lips. If you know something needs to be done, do it without being prodded. Your boss will quickly come to see you as someone she can count on and a huge asset to the team. If you have conflicting priorities, ask your boss to help sort them out.
Don't Think of Your First Job as the Be All, End All to Career Stardom
How can you master the skills it takes to get ahead without putting any time in the trenches? That's like saying you could win an Olympic medal in swimming without learning to doggie paddle first. Look at your first post-college positions as temporary stops on your career path instead of permanent ones. Don't be in such a rush to get promoted either -- you have a long career life ahead of you to shoulder the heavy burden of being on top. In the meantime, enjoy getting paid to learn everything you can so that snagging your next job isn't quite as challenging!
我永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)忘記大學(xué)畢業(yè)后的那個(gè)夏天，我是多么地失落，

《求職英語：給應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生的求職建議》(http://www.shangyepx.com)。在接下來的九年里，我和無數(shù)二十來歲的年輕人探討過。對(duì)于要立即找到自己的“天職”，并在25歲之前在某個(gè)領(lǐng)域干出一番事業(yè)，他們都感到有巨大的壓力，一個(gè)更為現(xiàn)實(shí)的做法是遵循一些策略來讓自己緩慢進(jìn)入職場(chǎng)�？稍S多人直到三十歲后才開始去嘗試這些策略。學(xué)校也許教會(huì)了你許多東西，但是職場(chǎng)這套獨(dú)一無二的法則可能漏掉了。希望下面這些建議能讓你的職業(yè)生涯有一個(gè)好的開始：
是“擇業(yè)”而不是選擇“工作”
隨意找一份工作，只不過因?yàn)槟愕膶I(yè)相關(guān)或感到工作內(nèi)容有趣，那么你可能會(huì)進(jìn)入一個(gè)對(duì)你來說并沒有真正吸引力的行業(yè)，不用多久你就得再去找工作。何不用戰(zhàn)略的眼光來規(guī)劃你的職業(yè)，就像曾規(guī)劃教育一樣？
你可以先作個(gè)自我評(píng)估，這會(huì)讓你了解許多你不曾注意到的事情——例如，你喜歡怎樣的工作環(huán)境、討厭的工作環(huán)境又如何；你認(rèn)為怎樣才算是成功；什么樣的工作會(huì)讓你寧愿忍受幾小時(shí)的交通堵塞、僅僅為了出現(xiàn)在辦公室？了解這些能幫你決定那些職業(yè)適合你。
即使不能立刻找到工作，也不要絕望
如果你開始把自己看成“受害者”，或是長(zhǎng)期消極，受傷的只會(huì)是你自己。煩惱到生病、吸毒或不承認(rèn)自己遇到了僵局，這些都是沒有幫助的。最好的辦法是承認(rèn)現(xiàn)實(shí)、承認(rèn)自我感受，找一個(gè)有富有成效的方法來解決問題。向支持你的人尋求幫助，考慮休息一段時(shí)間——畢竟，將來你不會(huì)再有這種不用上學(xué)也不用工作的自由了。
在你選擇的領(lǐng)域中“瘋狂”地建立聯(lián)系
許多工作空缺都不會(huì)登廣告招聘，因?yàn)楣椭鞲矚g任用推薦的人選。和在你的領(lǐng)域工作的人們建立聯(lián)系的意義是：當(dāng)一有新機(jī)會(huì)出現(xiàn)，人們頭腦中第一時(shí)間想到的就是你。
你可以調(diào)查你所在行業(yè)的公司，或者，加入在線社交網(wǎng)站，或是問問父母的朋友和參加相關(guān)的職業(yè)組織。這些都能幫你建立聯(lián)系�？梢韵扔秒娮余]件和別人取得聯(lián)系，不要明確地提出想獲得工作，這會(huì)使對(duì)方心生戒備。對(duì)他們的職業(yè)生涯表示好奇；然后，問一問是否能同他們一起吃午飯或喝咖啡。
為自己贏得一個(gè)動(dòng)手能力強(qiáng)、工作熱忱的好名聲
不要認(rèn)為什么都是“應(yīng)當(dāng)”的——你應(yīng)該對(duì)自己的職業(yè)發(fā)展負(fù)責(zé)，而不是你的公司。 在向老板提出問題或是抱怨之前，先嘗試一切能自己解決的辦法。如果你不得不提，也要準(zhǔn)備好一個(gè)解決方案，這個(gè)方案有她的幫助就能實(shí)現(xiàn)。
絕對(duì)不該說“我沒有時(shí)間”這樣的話。如果你知道需要做某項(xiàng)工作，應(yīng)該不用敦促地完成。你的老板很快會(huì)把你看成一個(gè)靠得住的人、團(tuán)隊(duì)的一大資產(chǎn)。如果要做的事情先后順序有沖突，讓老板為你決定。
不要把自己的第一份工作看成職業(yè)生涯中的“永遠(yuǎn)”
不從底層做起你怎么能掌握發(fā)展所需要的技能？這就好比連狗刨都沒學(xué)會(huì)就想在奧運(yùn)會(huì)上拿金牌。把你剛畢業(yè)后的工作看成職業(yè)生涯中的臨時(shí)站點(diǎn)而不是永久站點(diǎn)。也不要急著獲得晉升——前方的職業(yè)道路由你扛重?fù)?dān)的時(shí)間會(huì)很長(zhǎng)。快樂地一邊拿著工資一邊學(xué)習(xí)吧，這樣獲得下一份工作就不費(fèi)吹灰之力了!
