Networking: Where to Cast Your Net
人際交往：怎樣建立你的交際圈
One of the most effective ways to find a job: Network.
找到工作最有效途徑之一就是：建立工作關係。
Spread the word that you're looking for a new job. First, tell your family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances ... everyone. Even tell your mail carrier and your hair stylist. (But don't tell anyone at your current job.)
將你正在找一份新工作的資訊傳播出去。首先，告訴你的.親人、朋友、鄰居、你認識的所有人。甚至連快遞員和理髮師都要告知。(但是不要告訴你目前工作上的任何同事。)
When it comes to networking though, there's more to consider than simply who you know.
當你利用交際網路來找工作時，不要單單隻考慮你認識的人。
You have to think about who you DON'T know. And then find a way to get to know those people.
你還得考慮你不認識的人。然後想辦法去認識他們。
Once you've exhausted your personal connections, it's time to focus on meeting some new faces.
一旦你的人際網路都已經用完了，就是時候該認識新的朋友了。
Here are some tips on where to start building a network.
以下是一些關於該如何開始建立交際網的小貼士：

No matter what your occupation, there's a professional organization for you!
不管你的專業是什麼，都會有專業協會存在。
National and international professional associations often have local chapters where you can meet other professionals in your field. And most hold conferences and other events designed specifically for networking.
國際或非國際協會都有地方分會，而你可以在這些分會機構裡遇到工作領域的專家。而大部分協會都會舉辦專門的會議或其他活動來讓會員相互認識。
Professional organizations can also help you keep up-to-date on the latest developments in your industry. They often provide members with the latest industry news, trends and research as well as training and education. This information can come in very handy in interviews.
專業組織也能夠讓你隨時瞭解到你所在行業的最新發展資訊。他們經常會為會員提供最新的行業資訊、發展趨勢以及相關培訓和教育等。而這些資訊在面試上都非常有用。
