Congratulations! You have finally graduated from your university. Are you wondering where and how to find a new job related to your studies? Here are some tips for you.
First of all, make sure to have a correct and well-organized resume（简历）and cover letter. State clearly why you are the best applicant for a given job offer. In other words, “be clear”. Before writing them down, read the job description to know exactly what kind of job it is. Go online or on TV and try to discover what kind of person the employer is searching for. And you can also prepare some questions that can be discussed during a probable interview.
Second, you have to find ways to make your resume outstanding from other employees’. Employers receive and have to read about hundreds of resumes every day. They do not have enough time to read all of them carefully. A copy from the Internet can be a real danger. Online models are quite the same, so using them is giving employers chances not to read yours. Therefore, you’d better target your resume at the special job that you are applying for. Make sure that there are no mistakes in it. You can also call the employer and tell him or her that you are really interested in the job.
Keep this last tip in your mind. You may have tried everything but the future still remains unopened. When facing failure, everybody can feel disappointed, especially the students who are searching for their first job. If you give up too early and lose confidence, you will miss the chance. Even if many people are lacking in motivation, don’t let it be you. Perseverance（毅力）is important in life.
