| As the global financial crisis hits the economy, it"s tough finding a job-especially if you"re competing with thousands of other hopeful students. Sometimes you get the interview, but don"t quite seem to land the job because you don"t have related experience. Don"t despair! Here are a few tips that might give you an edge. Get connected to your network and try to expand it. Talk to friends, family and acquaintances. Let everyone know you are looking for a job. Prepare your resume (个人简历) carefully and be sure it"s perfect. Have someone else read it over for typos (打字错误) and grammatical errors. Get professional help. It"s worth the money to present yourself well. If money is tight, read books on resume writing from your public library or search for free help on the Internet. When you apply for a job, be sure you match and list any skills listed on the posting with the skills you have. If you get an interview, be sure to describe those skills thoroughly. Just having the skills is not enough. Expressing your abilities well can make all the difference in getting the job. Research typical interview questions and practice interviewing. Be well prepared for every interview. Don"t be afraid to accept a position for which you are overqualified-if there"s room for advancements. Many great job advancements come from first doing well at an entrylevel position. If you have the right skills and attitude, it won"t be long before you"re in the job you want. Volunteer for a few weeks in your field of study to gain experience if you feel your resume needs an improvement. When deciding what to wear for an interview, think about the position level and the dress code of the organization. Use every tool available to you.

| Boys need friends, suffer when they don"t believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers(同龄人). Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 15yearold boys and girls found that girls" friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship. Boys are the living definition of the phrase "peer group"； they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道) class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt(萦绕心头) a boy for years. As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy"s life-and a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is "always there for me", someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep. 1. The common belief of adults is that boys________. A. don"t care about others as much as girls B. don"t value friendship as much as girls C. have the same friendship as girls D. have healthier friendship than girls 2. According to the text, boys" friendship________. A. is usually built around active play B. tends to be in small groups C. can bear mutual hurt between friends D. doesn"t suffer from failure 3. The author mentions the study in the second paragraph to prove ________. A. many people believe girls are better at relationships B. most boys consider their friends very important C. boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls D. boys may be more active in a friendship | |
