search can be viewed many different ways, depending on your situation and experience. In this economy, it’s clearly difficult, frustrating, and slow. But no matter how you look at it, you’re likely missing some key aspects.
疼的而且是相当缓慢的一个过程。 不论你如何看待这个问题，你都有可能忽略一些重要的方面。
The chance to compete. If you played sports in high school, led the college debate team, or entered the science fair, you’ll have to admit that it’s fun to compete. Many of us enjoy putting ourselves out there against others in life. Win or lose, it’s a chance to measure your skills and experience against a slew of others. So as difficult as it might be, try to enjoy that aspect of your job search.
竞争的机会。如果你曾经在高中时参加过运动比赛、带领过大学生辩论队、或是举办过科学展览， 你就会承认竞争亦是很有趣的。在现实生活中， 我们许多人喜欢与人竞争。不论输赢，这是一个与其他一些人较量实力和技能的机会。因此，尽管有时求职很艰难，我们总是在求职过程中享受着求职带来的快乐。
New long-term relationships. Probably the single biggest opportunity for job seekers is to establish a long-term network, one you can help, nurture, and lean on throughout the rest of your career. Admittedly, you have a LinkedIn profile and network most of your friends drool over, even if they don’t see the immediate value. And your local community gets more interesting as you bump into more pals than everyone else when out at the car wash, grocery store, or nightclub. But this is an opportunity to grow your network even more.
建立一种新的长期关系。也许对求职者来说，一个最大的契机是建立一种长期的人脉关系，一种你可以提供帮助、提供信息并且在你整个的职业生涯中可以依赖的长期关系。应当承认，你有朋友们羡慕的网络人脉关系，即使目前他们还没有见到这种关系的实效。每次出去洗车、购物、或是去夜总会，你的朋友圈子也会随着不断地遇到更多的朋友而变得更加有意思。
Rethink your career options. While it’s important to have clear job-search objectives for an effective social networking effort, you can still take time to think. Evaluate your career to date and figure out if you’re doing what leaves you happy or just doing what you’ve always done.
重新思考一下职业的选择。尽管有个相对应社交网络而言较为清晰的求职目标很重要， 但是，你仍然需要思考一下。评估一下你现在的职业，确定你是否干得很开心还是忙于应付你一直所从事的事情。
Be with family and friends. There’s a significant opportunity during job search to tackle some important tasks. But first on the list should be making up for lost time with family and friends. Since you can’t look for a job 16 hours a day, what else could you be doing? There are 101 (other) things you can do while looking for a job. Pick a few and get started today.
和家人朋友在一起。求职的过程中，有机会去处理的一些重要的问题。但是，首先要做的是应该弥补上你未能和家人朋友在一起的时间。既然你不能找一个一天干满16个小时的工作，那其他的时间内你还能干些什么事情？在求职的同时，你还有其他的101项事情可以去做。从中选择几项，从今天开始做起来。
Pursue a passion. One of the (other) ideas you should consider during job search is to take action on a passion in life. Whether it’s fly fishing, starting your own company, writing a novel or a country song, take the time now—because this may be the only major break in your career. If it is, you’ll be glad you got started on the project. Reward your ideas with the chance to be born.
拥有激情。求职过程中的一个应当考虑的因素是在生活中要有激情。不论这种激情是什么--- 开始创办自己的公司、开始写小说、开始创作一首歌曲，那么你现在就开始做，因为这是你职业的一种突破。如果真是这样， 你会很高兴发现你开始有了自己的爱好。 给自己一个机会去开展这个爱好。
