     As the global financial crisis hits the economy, it's tough finding a job-especially if you're competing

with thousands of other hopeful students. Sometimes you get the interview, but don't quite seem to land

the job because you don't have related experience. Don't despair! Here are a few tips that might give you

an edge.

    Get connected to your network and try to expand it. Talk to friends, family and acquaintances. Let

everyone know you are looking for a job.

    Prepare your resume (个人简历) carefully and be sure it's perfect. Have someone else read it over for

typos (打字错误) and grammatical errors. Get professional help. It's worth the money to present yourself well. If money is tight, read books on resume writing from your public library or search for free help on the Internet.

     When you apply for a job, be sure you match and list any skills listed on the posting with the skills you

have. If you get an interview, be sure to describe those skills thoroughly. Just having the skills is not

enough. Expressing your abilities well can make all the difference in getting the job.

     Research typical interview questions and practice interviewing. Be well prepared for every interview.

     Don't be afraid to accept a position for which you are overqualified-if there's room for advancements. Many great job advancements come from first doing well at an entrylevel position. If you have the right

skills and attitude, it won't be long before you're in the job you want.

     Volunteer for a few weeks in your field of study to gain experience if you feel your resume needs an

improvement.

     When deciding what to wear for an interview, think about the position level and the dress code of the

organization.

     Use every tool available to you. For example, this site has many job links for your use.

Good luck!
