跳槽前必做的四件大事

       If you're looking for work and aren'thaving much luck in your current field, it's tempting to decide now isthe time for a career change.

　　如果你正在找工作，并且在目前的行業(yè)也沒(méi)多少希望，那這時(shí)候考慮換工作聽(tīng)起來(lái)就很有誘惑力了。

　　But although it's always good to be flexible, it's also important to be realistic.

　　雖然靈活一點(diǎn)總是好的，但是現(xiàn)實(shí)也是很重要的。

　　"There's a bigger pool of more highlyqualified people who are willing to work for less money" in a downturn,says Richard Phillips, owner of Advantage Career Solutions.

　　Advantage Career Solutions公司的老總Richard Phillips說(shuō)："在經(jīng)濟(jì)低迷時(shí)期有大批比你更有資歷的人愿意以更低的薪水接受工作。"

　　Experts such as Phillips offer these four tips for ensuring a career change will work -- before you make the leap:

　　Phillips等專(zhuān)家提供了以下四點(diǎn)建議，確保你換工作成功，不過(guò)要在換工作之前實(shí)行：

　　1.Do your homework.

　　做好功課。

　　Make sure you don't jump from one sinking industry to another. Ask, "is this a growth area?"

　　要確保你不是從一個(gè)瀕臨死亡的產(chǎn)業(yè)跳到了另外一個(gè)。要弄清楚這是否是個(gè)有潛力的行業(yè)？

　　You can start your research online,with government publications such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics'Occupational Outlook Handbook.

　　你可以從網(wǎng)上搜索資料，同時(shí)可以用《勞動(dòng)統(tǒng)計(jì)局職業(yè)前景手冊(cè)》之類(lèi)的政府出版物做為輔助。

　　Also look at whether a particular specialty within your potential new field is in demand. For example,perhaps school districts in your area aren't hiring many elementary school teachers, but they do need specialized teachers.

　　另外，也要看看你要進(jìn)入的行業(yè)是否有特別的專(zhuān)業(yè)要求。比如，你當(dāng)?shù)氐膶W(xué)校可能不會(huì)聘請(qǐng)小學(xué)老師，但是卻可能需要有專(zhuān)業(yè)技能的教師。
