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。


    1. Ponder reasonable expectations for an entry-level salary. Research your desired industry and the jobs you're interested in within that sector. Use Web sites such as cbSalary.com to find the average salary for the job you want, in the location you're looking for work. Use that knowledge when deciding if a salary offer will be enough to pay the bills.

    對初入職場的薪水抱有合理期望。調(diào)查你期望投入的行業(yè)和這一行業(yè)內(nèi)自己感興趣的工作。瀏覽像cbSalary.com這樣的網(wǎng)站，找到你的期望工作在你所在地區(qū)的平均工資水平。用這個信息來判定薪水是否可以糊口。

    2. Consider the entire benefits package. "A salary offer is only one part of the compensation package," says Dwayne Keiffer, assistant director of career development at Messiah College in Grantham, Penn. Evaluate the entire benefits package. Does the company provide insurance? Will it contribute to a 401(K) plan? How much vacation do employees receive?

    考慮整體福利。位于賓夕法尼亞州Grantham的Messiah學院職業(yè)發(fā)展助理主任Dwayne Keiffer說：“薪水只是收入的一部分。”考量一下全部福利。公司給員工上保險嗎？參加401(K)計劃（一種養(yǎng)老保險）嗎？員工休假有多少?

    3. Reflect on company quality. Job content and the quality of the organization you're going to work for should take a backseat to most other things, says Shawn Graham, author of "Courting Your Career." After all, you want the job that gives you the most options for your next career move. Compare job content, fit within the job and organization's culture, opportunities for advancement and compensation before saying "yes".

    仔細考慮公司的好壞�！断蚰愕穆殬I(yè)獻殷勤》一書作者Shawn Graham認為，將要從事的工作內(nèi)容、企業(yè)好壞應該作為大多數(shù)其他事情的前提。畢竟，你希望的是一份能為下一步提供最多選擇的工作。在接受之前要對工作內(nèi)容、工作和企業(yè)文化的適合程度、發(fā)展機會、和收入作一番比較。
