To avoid landing in a position that's not for you, here are 12 pieces of advice to consider about the job hunting process before you accept your first job.

    為了避免找到的工作不適合自己而陷入困境，在接受第一份工作之前，這里有12條建議供你在求職過程中參考。

    7. Make your decision based on your current life realities, not "what if" scenarios. "You don't have to create a fit today that will fit your life in 20 years, when you may have children or a mortgage," Pollak says. "Just be where you are today and know that managing your work and life will change many times over the course of your life."

    根據(jù)你當前的生活現(xiàn)實而不是“萬一如何”作決定。“你不必非要找到一份在未來20年里、當你有了孩子或抵押貸款后還會一直適合你的工作。做好現(xiàn)在的自己，并且要知道，一生中你的工作和生活方式都會改變很多次。”

    8. Find out where former employees of the position are now. Training and development is the most important thing about a first job because it's the spring board for your career.

    調(diào)查過去做這一職位的員工的現(xiàn)狀。培訓(xùn)和發(fā)展是第一份工作中最重要的部分。因為第一份工作是你事業(yè)的跳板。

    "Your prospective boss's record for having his employees promoted to good positions both inside and outside the company is a key indicator of how good that person is at developing his people," says Lee Miller, managing director of YourCareerDoctors.com.

    來自YourCareer Doctors.com網(wǎng)站的管理主任Lee Miller說：“你未來的老板把員工提拔到企業(yè)內(nèi)/外好崗位上的歷史紀錄是衡量此人是否擅長培養(yǎng)人才的關(guān)鍵標準。”

    9. Consider job location. "Would you rather have a good job in a great location or a great job somewhere you're not so crazy about?" asks JillXan Donnelly, president of the Career Exposure Network. If location, culture and way of life are important to you, consider taking your second or third job choice if the location appeals to you more.

    考慮工作地點。Career Exposure Network總裁JillXan Donnelly說：“你是寧愿在好地方擁有一份好工作還是在一個你熱情不太高的地方有一份非常好工作？”如果對你來說地點、文化、生活方式很重要，那么就要考慮地點更吸引你的第二、第三個工作選擇了。
