Network Like Mad in Your Chosen Field
在你選擇的領域中“瘋狂”地建立聯 系
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. 許多工作空缺都不會登廣告招聘，因為僱主 更喜歡任用推薦的人選。和在你的領域工作的人們建立聯繫的意義是：當一有新機會出現，人們頭腦中第一時間想到的就是你。
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. 你可以調查你所在行業的公司，或者，加 入線上社交網站，或是問問父母的朋友和參加相關的職業組織。這些都能幫你建立聯繫。可以先用電子郵件和別人取得聯繫，不要明確地提出想獲得工作，這會使對 方心生戒備。對他們的職業生涯表示好奇；然後，問一問是否能同他們一起吃午飯或喝咖啡。
