商務英語中級閱讀材料：找工作前不得不知的10件事
以下是小編帶來的商務英語中級閱讀材料：找工作前不得不知的10件事，歡迎閱讀。
Certainly, 2016 is a tough year to graduate – but there is still a great deal that jobseekers can do to boost their chances of finding employment.
當然，2016年對畢業生來說是艱難的一年，但仍然有許多事求職者可以做，從而提高他們找到工作的幾率。
Many say they found their university careers service uninspiring and unhelpful – that's if they made it through the door. So what are the things the class of 2012 really needs to know?
許多人說他們發現他們的大學就業服務既無趣又無益——假如他們要通過它來找到工作。那么，哪些事是2012屆畢業生真正需要知道的?
1 Unpaid internships are illegal
The biggest issue for today's graduates isn't joblessness – it is unpaid internships. There is no legal definition of an intern, but national minimum wage law states anybody who qualifies as a worker must be paid at least ￡6.08 an hour (if aged 21 and over) unless their employer is a charity.
1 無報酬的實習是非法的
對今天的大學畢業生來說最大的問題不是沒有工作，而是無報酬的實習。沒有法律定義實習生，但國家最低工資的法律規定任何有工作資格的人必須獲得至少6.08英鎊每小時的報酬(如果21歲以上)，除非他們的雇主是慈善機構。
2 Ignore the headlines – there are still jobs out there
News that 83 graduates apply for every job is eye-catching, but is it really true? Are graduates only applying to the big names, via adverts they've seen in the most obvious places?
2 忽略頭條新聞 – 除那之外還有工作
有消息稱83個畢業生申請一份工作是引人注目的，但它是真的嗎?通過他們在最顯眼的地方看到的廣告，難道大學畢業生只申請那些大公司嗎?
3 Doing more education isn't the answer
A second degree means a better job – or at least a better chance of getting a job. Right? Wrong. Think carefully before you sign up for an expensive postgraduate course that may be of little interest to employers – and beware of the increasingly slick marketing methods used by universities (remember, education is a business now).
3 接受更多地教育并不是解決之道
第二學位意味著更好的工作——或者至少是一個找到工作更好機會，對嗎?這是錯誤的。在你簽署那些你的雇主并不感興趣的昂貴研究生課程之前仔細想想，同時提防大學日益華而不實的營銷方式(記住，現在教育是一樁生意)。
4 Give the industry you have chosen a health check
The digital revolution has turned many industries upside down. The music industry, book publishing and print journalism are obvious examples, but other industries are suffering, too. This means the "dream jobs" you've set your heart on may not even exist in a few years – and if they do, they could be poorly paid and insecure.
Graduates often hope that if they want their goal badly enough, they'll get there. Sadly, this isn't true. Look around. If people established in your chosen industry are bailing out, what does that tell you? Think laterally and take your skills to a growing sector. Your career spans 40 years. Don't pick an industry that will be dead in five.
4 給你選擇的行業一個健康檢查
數字革命已經讓許多行業倒閉。音樂產業、圖書出版和平面媒體是明顯的例子，但其他行業也在經歷陣痛。這意味著你全心投入的“夢想工作”在未來幾年內可能根本不存在 - 如果他們這樣做，他們可能會獲得低報酬和不安全感。
應屆畢業生往往希望有志者事竟成。可悲的是，這是不正確的。看看你的周圍。如果在你選擇的行業里創建者想逃出來，這告訴你什么?正確地思考，把你的技能用在有發展的部門。你的職業生涯跨越40年。不要選擇一個5年內會衰亡的行業。
5 The perfect CV is a myth
Graduates obsess about crafting the perfect CV, but there's no such thing. If yours is clear and concise, stop fiddling. And forget about trying to stand out. If your application is really good, it will get noticed.
5 完美的簡歷是神話
畢業生過分注重制作完美的簡歷，但沒有這樣的事情。如果你的簡歷簡潔明了、停止花哨。忘記試圖脫穎而出。如果你的簡歷真的很好，它就會被注意。
6 Don't forget the little guys
Don't dismiss small- to medium-sized companies (SMEs, with less than 250 employees) – that's where the bulk of graduate vacancies lie. Thousands of SMEs are desperate to hire bright young graduates – but they may not advertise in the obvious places as it's expensive, so do some extra sleuthing to track them down.
