????5. 結識行業(yè)內(nèi)的獵頭，如果你還沒有這樣做，那現(xiàn)在就行動吧?！罢衅溉藛T通常專攻某一職能或?qū)Ｗ⒂谀骋恍袠I(yè)，”安德森指出，“他們通常廣泛撒網(wǎng)，在很大的區(qū)域內(nèi)尋找職位應征者，他們或許正在你的住所附近，為某些總部位于其他地區(qū)的大公司物色人才?！?/p> ????第五條建議：如果可能的話——也許在周末——試著參加附近的社區(qū)活動。教堂（或猶太教會堂、清真寺）、本地紅十字會（Red Cross）、基督教青年會（YMCA）或基督教女青年會（YWCA）、家庭教師協(xié)會（PTA），眾多此類的組織總是舉辦各種活動，在小鎮(zhèn)上也不例外。這些都是結識街坊鄰里的好地方，說不定就有人能為你介紹工作。 ????誠然，以上建議中提到的各項功課都需要付出大量的時間和耐心（但同時也可能會充滿了樂趣）。另外，在求職的這段時間里，為什么不和現(xiàn)在的老板談一談，看看能否每周讓你有一兩天遠距離辦公的時間呢？ ????“越來越多的經(jīng)理人正采取這種方式工作，”安德森說?！翱萍及l(fā)展已經(jīng)使之成為非常實用的方式。員工的壓力減輕了，也不用把時間浪費在堵塞的交通上，工作效率大大提高，公司也能真正受益。” ????重新安排一下日程表，每周有一部分時間在家辦公，或許那些不得不通勤的日子也能變得輕松不少。 ????反饋：你每天通勤的路程是否很長？如果你在小城鎮(zhèn)找到了一份工作，你是怎樣做到的？歡迎發(fā)表評論。 ????譯者：富來細特\汪皓 |
????5. Get to know headhunters in your field, if you don't already. "Recruiters often specialize in a particular function or a specific industry," Anderson points out. "They tend to look for candidates over wide geographical areas, and they may be trying to fill openings near you for big client companies that are based elsewhere." ????A fifth suggestion: If at all possible -- maybe on the weekends -- do try to get involved in a nearby community organization. Churches (or synagogues, or mosques), the local Red Cross, the YMCA or YWCA, the PTA, and many other kinds of groups often have lots going on, even in very small towns. They're great places to start getting to know your neighbors, including those who might know of job openings. ????Granted, all this research and reaching out on your part will take time and patience (although it might also be kind of fun). While you're looking, why not try negotiating with your current employer to let you telecommute for at least a day or two each week? ????"We're seeing more and more managers doing this," Anderson says. "The technology available now makes it practical, and companies see real benefits to productivity when people have less stress and less wasted time stuck in traffic." ????Who knows? If you could rearrange your current schedule to let you work from home some of the time, your commute -- on the days when you still have to do it -- might be a little easier to take. ????Talkback: Do you have a long commute to and from work? If you've found a job in a small town, how did you do it? Leave a comment below. |
