At the start of the freshman year, finding a job after graduation isprobably the last thing on your mind, but before you know it, it willbe senior year and finding that job will be your top priority. Hi, I amLindsey Pollak, generation Y and career expert and author of Gettingfrom College to Career. I am standing here on the campus of ColumbiaUniversity to talk about a four-year plan, to land a job of your dreamsafter you graduate.

    在你剛上大學(xué)的時(shí)候，不用過(guò)多擔(dān)心你的職業(yè)規(guī)劃。嘗試大量的活動(dòng)，讓你的足跡遍布校園。去上各種課程，看看你最感興趣的是什么。

    Buteverybody's experience is very different, there are few guidelines youcan follow for each of your four years. Freshman year, don't worry toomuch about your career plans, try a lot of activities, get your feetwet on campus and take several different classes to see what it is youmost enjoy. Sophomore year is a time to narrow down your academic focusand decide on the college major. You also want to narrow your optionsin terms of your extra curricula activities to focus on your biggestcommitments.

    大學(xué)二年級(jí)的時(shí)候，你可以縮小你關(guān)注的學(xué)院范圍，決定你的專(zhuān)業(yè)。減少課外活動(dòng)，把精力集中在最重要的事情上。

    Andfinally I recommend getting a professional internship the summerbetween your sophomore and junior years to start having professionalexperience you will be able to list on your resume. Junior year is atime to take on leadership positions in the extra curricula activitiesthat you've chosen. It's also really important to get your GPA above3.0 because that is the cutup for many employers to give you a job. Andfinally if you haven't on an internship already, it's essential to haveat least one on your resume by the end of your junior year.

    大學(xué)三年級(jí)，在你已經(jīng)選擇的一些課外活動(dòng)中擔(dān)當(dāng)一些領(lǐng)導(dǎo)工作。這對(duì)于你獲得3.0以上的平均分來(lái)說(shuō)至關(guān)重要。也會(huì)更容易讓你在畢業(yè)后獲得一份工作。 至少找一份實(shí)習(xí)生的工作來(lái)做。實(shí)習(xí)經(jīng)歷在你畢業(yè)的簡(jiǎn)歷上是必不可少的。GPA: grade point average 平均分。美國(guó)的GPA滿分是4分。

    Duringyour senior year, your goal should be to find a balance among theleadership positions you've taken on in your extra curricularactivities. Keeping up your great point average in your college majorand focusing on the job search for a position after graduation. Istrongly encourage you to become involved in your career servicescentre to make sure you are clear on the deadlines and requirements forany jobs you will be applying to.

    在大學(xué)的最后一年。你的目標(biāo)是在你的各種課外活動(dòng)中取得平衡。學(xué)好你的主要課程，把精力集中在找工作上。

    And finally it's your senior year of college, enjoy it, have some fun, take some time to really enjoy college before you're orphan to the real world.

    最后，好好享受你的大學(xué)時(shí)光，在你獨(dú)自面對(duì)社會(huì)之前盡情享受學(xué)校生活。
