Do your New Year's resolutions include finding a new job? The Internet is a great resource for job seekers. But far too many people don't use it effectively. 你今年的新年愿望中有找一份新工作嗎？互聯(lián)網是求職者可以利用的一大資源，但是很多人沒能有效地使用這個資源。
    According to Nielsen Online, CareerBuilder, Monster and Yahoo HotJobs are the most visited job sites. These general job sites attract a wide variety of employers. There are literally hundreds of thousands of job listings on these sites. 根據Nielsen Online公司統(tǒng)計，CareerBuilder、Monster和Yahoo HotJobs是最熱門的求職網站。這些綜合型求職網站吸引了各式各樣的招聘者。這些網站上發(fā)布有數十萬的招聘職位。
    However, many of these jobs won't appeal to mid- or upper-level professionals. If you're at that level, you may wade through many jobs below your experience level. Some of the better jobs may not be listed on these sites. 可是，其中許多職位并不能吸引到中層或高層職業(yè)人士。如果你是其中之一，那么也許要在許多和你工作經驗不匹配的職位中費力尋找。一些好工作可能不會登在這樣的網站上。
    So look beyond the general employment sites when looking for your dream job. Here are some tips for using the Internet for your job search. 要找到你的理想工作，你應該到其他地方看看，而不是這些綜合招聘網站。下面是一些網上找工作的方法，這些方法當然是針對美國的國情來的，但是我們從中也可以借鑒一二。至于中國綜合的和專業(yè)的招聘網站，如果您不知道的話，請多多利用搜索引擎，搜索“求職”、“招聘”類的字眼再加上行業(yè)或是職位名稱即可。
    Try Specialized Sites 使用專業(yè)網站
    No matter what your field, you're likely to find a specialized site listing jobs related to your industry. 不論你身處哪個領域，都可能找到一個提供和你行業(yè)相關的求職招聘網站。
    Specialized sites won't have the same volume of listings as general sites, but don't let this deter you. The listings will better suit your skills. 專業(yè)網站的職位數沒有綜合型網站多，但是別擔心，這些職位會和你的技能更對口。
    There's another advantage, too. You won't be competing against so many other job seekers. However, the competition will be better qualified than on other sites. 而且，還有一個優(yōu)勢是，和你競爭的其他求職者不會那么多。不過，專業(yè)網站上的競爭者較其它網站相比資格更高。
    If you're a tech worker, try Dice. For government jobs, visit USAJOBS. EFinancialCareers specializes in financial positions, while SalesJobs lists sales positions. 如果你是技術人員，可以去Dice網站；要找政府工作，去USAJOBS網站；專業(yè)提供金融職位的有EFinancialCareers網站；專業(yè)提供銷售職位的有SalesJobs網站。
    There are many specialized job sites. Search the Web for those in your field. Look for larger sites with plenty of listings. 專業(yè)網站有許多。在網上搜索你工作領域的專業(yè)網站，尋找那些提供大量職位的專業(yè)網站。
    Industry associations and clubs are invaluable tools for job seekers. Most national organizations have websites. Visit the sites to learn more about local chapters. 行業(yè)聯(lián)盟和行業(yè)俱樂部是求職者的寶貴工具。大部分全國性組織都有自己的網站，你可以訪問這些網站以獲得關于某組織的當地分支的更多信息。
    By joining an industry organization, you'll meet other professionals in your field. Some of the people you meet may have hiring authority. At the least, you'll learn about new job openings. Some may not even be listed online. 通過加入一個行業(yè)組織，你能結識同行。也許其中有些人有招聘的權力。至少，你會發(fā)現新的工作機會，而其中有些職位并不會在網上公布。
    Also, industry associations often have job boards on their sites. These boards will help you find hidden job opportunities. 而且，行業(yè)聯(lián)盟往往在網站中有工作機會板塊。這些板塊會讓你找到隱藏起來的工作機會。(to be continued)
