1. Relevant experience 相关工作经验
Twenty-three percent of hiring managers say the candidates ability to relate their experience to the job at hand is the most important factor in the hiring decision. Unfortunately, new graduates often underestimate the experience they have through internships, part-time jobs and extracurricular activities, but 63 percent of hiring managers say they view volunteer activities as relevant experience. 23%的招聘经理称应聘者的相关工作经验是决定是否雇用的最重要的因素。不幸地是，应届毕业生往往低估实习、兼职及课外活动的重要性。而63%的招聘经理称他们会将志愿者活动当作相关经验。
2. Fit within the company culture 是否适应企业文化
Just because you look good on paper doesnt mean youre a shoo-in for the job. To 21 percent of employers, the trait they most want to see in a candidate is the ability to fit in with co-workers and the company. Offering up a blank stare when the interviewer asks why you are the right fit for the job will not go over well. Just be yourself, but mind your is -- never insult, interrupt or irritate the interviewer. This can also be evaluated by that unimportant small talk at the beginning of an interview or non-job-related questions like What was the last book you read 你的简历做的好并不意味着就能获得工作。21%的招聘者最希望应聘者具有的素质是能和同事相处融洽、融入公司。在被问到为什么认为自己适合这份工作的时候，面无表情地紧盯面试官就不是一个好做法。表现出正常的状态就好，但注意绝不要侮辱、打断或惹怒面试官。面试前不重要的简短谈话，或那些与面试无关的问题，如你最近读过什么书，都能评估出你能否融入公司。
3. Educational background 教育背景
Nineteen percent of hiring managers place the most emphasis on your educational background: the institution you attended, major, minor1 and degree earned. Be sure to also include courses taken and completed projects if relevant to the job. With grade point average, its tricky2. A good rule of thumb is to omit it unless it is 3.0 or higher and denote if its your overall or major GPA. 19%的招聘经理对教育背景最为关注：学校、主修、辅修及学历。如果你学过的课程、完成的项目和工作有关，一定要写在简历中，面试时也要提到。如果成绩一般，那就有点儿困难。一个经验之谈是如果成绩特别好，你可以在简历中小提一下，否则就不必要提了。
4. Enthusiasm 热情
Passion for the job is the top characteristic 19 percent of employers look for in a candidate. Employees who are passionate3 about their jobs tend to be more productive workers. The answer to Why do you want to work here should always focus on the strengths of the company and the challenge of the position, not the perks4. A take or leave it attitude about the job will leave the employer feeling the same about you. 19%的雇主最看重工作热情。那些对工作有热情的员工往往会创造出更大的生产力。回答为什么你想在这家公司工作，应该集中在这家公司的强项及职位的挑战性上，而不是报酬。我的条件你不接受就拉倒的态度会让雇主也产生和你一样的想法。
5. Preparedness 面试准备
Eight percent of hiring managers say the ideas you bring to the table and the questions you ask carry the most significance. Come in prepared to discuss how your qualifications can specifically contribute to the success of the company. Actually put yourself in that role and explain how you would perform your work and ways to improve it. 8%的招聘经理对于应试者阐述的想法以及提出的问题最为看重。准备好，讨论你的能力具体会如何给企业带来成功。把自己放在应聘的职位上，阐述你将如何开展工作及改善工作方法。

By Alexandra Levit, Author, They Dont Teach Corporate1 in College: A Twenty-Somethings 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, Ive spoken to countless2 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. 我永远都不会忘记大学毕业后的那个夏天，我是多么地失落。在接下来的九年里，我和无数二十来岁的年轻人探讨过。对于要立即找到自己的天职，并在25岁之前在某个领域干出一番事业，他们都感到有巨大的压力，
A more realistic challenge is to ease yourself slowly into the work world by following a few strategies that many people dont try until theyre well into their 30s. School probably taught you a lot of things, but the business worlds unique set of rules may not have been part of the story. 一个更为现实的做法是遵循一些策略来让自己缓慢进入职场。可许多人直到三十岁后才开始去尝试这些策略。学校也许教会了你许多东西，但是职场这套独一无二的法则可能漏掉了。
Hopefully these tips will get you started on the right foot 希望下面这些建议能让你的职业生涯有一个好的开始：
Pick a Career Instead of a Job
是择业而不是选择工作
Looking for a job haphazardly3, because you majored in something or because you saw a listing that looks somewhat interesting, youll risk getting started in a career that holds no real appeal for you, and then youll have to leave it to find something else. Why not plan your career strategically, just like you planned your education 随意找一份工作，只不过因为你的专业相关或感到工作内容有趣，那么你可能会进入一个对你来说并没有真正吸引力的行业，不用多久你就得再去找工作。何不用战略的眼光来规划你的职业，就像曾规划教育一样
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 dont 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. 你可以先作个自我评估，这会让你了解许多你不曾注意到的事情例如，你喜欢怎样的工作环境、讨厌的工作环境又如何;你认为怎样才算是成功;什么样的工作会让你宁愿忍受几小时的交通堵塞、仅仅为了出现在办公室了解这些能帮你决定那些职业适合你。
If You Cant Get a Job Right Away, Dont Despair
即使不能立刻找到工作，也不要绝望
If you start thinking of yourself as a victim or allow yourself to lapse4 into prolonged negativity, you wont be hurting anyone except yourself. Worrying until you get sick, abusing drugs or denying that youve reached an impasse5 wont 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, youll never have the freedom of being between school and work again! 如果你开始把自己看成受害者，或是长期消极，受伤的只会是你自己。烦恼到生病、吸毒或不承认自己遇到了僵局，这些都是没有帮助的。最好的办法是承认现实、承认自我感受，找一个有富有成效的方法来解决问题。向支持你的人寻求帮助，考虑休息一段时间毕竟，将来你不会再有这种不用上学也不用工作的自由了。
Network Like Mad in Your Chosen Field
在你选择的领域中疯狂地建立联系
A huge percentage of job openings arent advertised because employers prefer to hire people through word of mouth. Developing relationships with people working in your field, then, means that youre top of mind whenever they hear of a new opportunity. 许多工作空缺都不会登广告招聘，因为雇主更喜欢任用推荐的人选。和在你的领域工作的人们建立联系的意义是：当一有新机会出现，人们头脑中第一时间想到的就是你。
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 dont put them on the defensive6 by asking for a job outright7. Instead, show curiosity about their career path and see if theyll agree to lunch or coffee. 你可以调查你所在行业的公司，或者，加入在线社交网站，或是问问父母的朋友和参加相关的职业组织。这些都能帮你建立联系。可以先用电子邮件和别人取得联系，不要明确地提出想获得工作，这会使对方心生戒备。对他们的职业生涯表示好奇;然后，问一问是否能同他们一起吃午饭或喝咖啡。
Hone Your Reputation as a Can-Do, Enthusiastic Employee
为自己赢得一个动手能力强、工作热忱的好名声
Dont have a sense of entitlement -- your company isnt responsible for your career growth: you are. Only approach your boss with a problem or complaint if youve explored all options for resolving it yourself. When you do, be prepared with a solution you could implement8 with her help. 不要认为什么都是应当的你应该对自己的职业发展负责，而不是你的公司。 在向老板提出问题或是抱怨之前，先尝试一切能自己解决的办法。如果你不得不提，也要准备好一个解决方案，这个方案有她的帮助就能实现。
The words I dont have time should never escape your lips. If you know something needs to be done, do it without being prodded9. 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. 绝对不该说我没有时间这样的话。如果你知道需要做某项工作，应该不用敦促地完成。你的老板很快会把你看成一个靠得住的人、团队的一大资产。如果要做的事情先后顺序有冲突，让老板为你决定。
Dont Think of Your First Job as the Be All, End All to Career Stardom
不要把自己的第一份工作看成职业生涯中的永远
How can you master the skills it takes to get ahead without putting any time in the trenches10 Thats 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. Dont 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 isnt quite as challenging! 不从底层做起你怎么能掌握发展所需要的技能这就好比连狗刨都没学会就想在奥运会上拿金牌。把你刚毕业后的工作看成职业生涯中的临时站点而不是永久站点。也不要急着获得晋升前方的职业道路由你扛重担的时间会很长。快乐地一边拿着工资一边学习吧，这样获得下一份工作就不费吹灰之力了!
