一个大学生毕业后要从以下几个方面来考虑自己，如何来找到一份好的工作。
hxw.red编辑点评：有人说现在大学毕业等于失业，毫无工作经验的确很难找工作、但最终能否让一份好工作找到你却完全取决于你自己。大学期间只要有充分的计划与准备，以后的路自然为你敞开。
A college degree is a key to the future. But which door do you want to unlock? Choosing a career can seem overwhelming, but it can be as simple as following a few steps, making a few phone calls and doing a little homework.

大学文凭被看做开启未来的钥匙。然而你希望打开的是哪扇大门呢？职业选择是一个令人头痛的问题，可是这个问题也可以轻松解决，按照接下来的几步做好准备，机会就会来敲门咯。

Step 1: Ask Yourself

第一步：问自己

Career counselors and personality tests can help you focus on what's right for you. Ask yourself -- what do I love so much I'd do it for free? What am I good at? What type of personality do I have? The answers will lead you to a satisfying job.

职业咨询顾问和自我测试都可以给予很好的帮助。问问自己：

1.我喜欢什么工作？

2.我擅长什么？

3.我的个性是什么样的？

Step 2: Keep An Open Mind

第二步：发展思维多方面考虑

Just about any degree -- even accounting and law -- offers more possibilities than most college graduates realize. And some careers have many paths. For instance, career expert and author of "Cool Careers For Dummies" Marty Nemko points out there are many different kinds of attorneys. Some spend a lot of time in court, others work on contracts.

无论什么专业，甚至会计和法律都可以从很多方面来规划自己的职业生涯。一些职业还有许多不同的发展方向。比如说有的律师的工作是出庭辩护，有的是起草法案文书。

Step 3: Job Shop

第三步：思考工作

Salary and benefits are just two parts of a much larger equation. Think about where you want to work, who you want to work with, the type of environment you like, travel and opportunities for advancement. After you've narrowed it down, contact someone who's working in the field that interests you. Your university alumni office can help you find a professional who's willing to answer your questions. Ask them what it takes to be successful in the field, the best things about the job and the drawbacks.

薪水和福利只是选择工作时需要考虑的两个很小的部分。想想你希望在哪里工作，和什么样的人一起共事，工作的环境如何，是不是想出差还有自我提升的机会。在将这些因素确定下来后，和一位在这个领域工作并且让你感兴趣的人。大学的校友会可以帮忙找到能为你解答职业疑问的专家，问他们怎样才能在你感兴趣的领域得到发展，以及这份工作的好处和缺点会在哪里。

Step 4: Good Company

第四步：目标公司

To pick the organization you want to work for... skip the corporate website. Instead... research the Best Companies to Work For lists. Read newspaper and magazine articles for the low-down on how those companies are doing. Don't settle... You'll never get a second chance to choose your first job. And you can do it!

不用再网上搜寻你想为之工作的公司信息，而是直接瞄准最适宜工作的公司排行榜。在报纸和杂志上找寻这些公司的真实状况。千万不能将就……第一份工作，人生只有一次。而且你一定可以找到它！
