否中英慣用例句:
  • 從小處着想。不要總是認為應該花幾個小時去解决一個大而艱巨的任務中。列一份工作清單，然後按照清單來一項項的完成工作。除非有十萬火急的事情，否則執行時就不要間斷。就拿求職者來說，不是說你今天下午要找很多份工作，而是應該檢查以前投遞的簡歷是否有了回覆，瀏覽一些適合的工作網站，寫幾分求職信，並認真修改你的簡歷，使之切實可行。
    Think small. You can't always spend several hours working straight through on a single big job. Don't think in those terms. Use a simple to-do list, and take each item to completion without interruption, unless something's literally on fire. An example for the job-seeker: It's not "I'll look for jobs this afternoon, " it's checking email for replies to previous applications, scanning preferred job sites, writing cover letters, and tweaking your resume for each solid lead, etc.

  • 你可以調查你所在行業的公司，或者，加入在綫社交網站，或是問問父母的朋友和參加相關的職業組織。這些都能幫你建立新的聯繫。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。

  • 尊重客戶。互聯網讓你的客戶享有更多暢所欲言的機會，說出他們真實的想法，喜歡你什麽，不喜歡你什麽。傾聽他們的聲音，並親自融進你從事的市場中去徵求客戶的反饋。你需要根據情況不斷改進公司的服務。否則，你就會發現客戶不斷減少(最終，關門大吉)。
