Create a Winning Job-Search Game Plan 创建一个能获胜的求职游戏计划
Turn Former Errors Into Accomplishments
将以前的错误转变为未来的成就。
Microsoft founder Bill Gates said, "It's fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure." In other words, even our worst job-search errors are the training ground for greater success.
微软的创建者比尔.盖茨说过：“庆祝胜利是很好的，但是从失败中吸取教训则更重要。”也就是说，即使是我们求职中最大的失败也是为了更大的成功而所必经的磨练。
With that in mind, try this exercise: Draw four columns on a blank sheet of paper. Use the following four questions to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back into the game with a winning plan.
考虑到这一点的话，试试以下的方法吧：在一张白纸上画四栏。用以下四个问题来剖析你自己，然后从游戏中制定一份胜利的计划。
Column 1: Last Year's Misses
第一栏：去年的失误

Without pausing to analyze, make a list of your actions that you felt hindered your career last year. Remember to examine every area of your job search, including: interviewing, networking, and your resume.
不要停下来分析，将去年一年里你觉得阻碍了工作的行为都列出来。记住，每年都要检查求职的每一个方面，包括以下几点：面试、关系网、简历。
Column 2: Hit or Miss?
第二栏：偶然还是失误？
Now, take a step back and look at each of your actions from an outsider's viewpoint. Did it really derail your job search or is it just something you feel badly about? For example, your lingeringembarrassmentat spilling your coffee during an interview doesn't mean that this is an error you need to fix, unless you repeatedly spill your coffee.
接下来，退回上一步，以一个局外人的眼光来审查列出的每一步行动。这些行动是真的阻碍了你的求职还是你自我感觉不好而已呢? 比如说，在一次面试中你撒出咖啡的尴尬情况并不是你需要改正的错误，除非你总是会反复泼出咖啡。
On the other hand, not knowing the meanings of buzz words you used on your resume is something you need to correct. Go through each item in Column 1. If it truly requires a change, then jot "change this" beside it in column 2.
另一方面，不懂得简历中的一些流行用语则是你需要改正的错误。浏览第一栏中的每一项，如果真的要改正的话，就在第二栏中备注上“此错误需修改”。
Column 3: Can I Fix This?
第三栏：我是否能够改正？
What is in your control to change? Be realistic. You can change your habit of turning up late for interviews. You cannot change the fact that you got fired from your last job because of a personal conflict. Increase your chances of success by focusing your attentionon the things that you can change. And put a check mark for each of those in column 3.
哪些是你可以控制的？现实一点。你可以改正面试迟到的坏习惯。但是你无法改变上次被开除是因为人际冲突的事实。重点改正那些你可以做到事情，这样可以增加成功的几率。然后在第三栏中打上检查标记。
Column 4: My Hits for This Year
第四栏：我今年要提高的
Here is the turning point. Review the list of things to change that remain after questions 2 and 3. Identify a positive behavior to replace each of them and write these in Column 4. For example, do you arrive at interviews inadequately prepared? Then identify a more positive action to take and write a measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-based objective to guide your change, such as, "Starting this month, I will spend at least an hour preparing for each interview."
这里是一个转折点。审查清单上在第2项和第3项之后仍然需要改变的问题。确定一些积极的措施来取代要改正的缺点，并在第四栏中记下来。例如，你是否准备不充分就去参加面试了？那就采取一些更积极的行动，制定一份可检测、可实现的、有明确的完成日期的方针来指导你的修正行动。你可以这样写“从这个月开始，我将会花至少一个小时的时间来准备每次面试。”
Now, make this plan work for you. Circle the three positivechanges from Column 4 that are most important to you. Write them on a cue card or some other place where you can easily review your turnaround plan every day. In addition, give a copy of this list to someone you trust and ask him or her to hold you accountablefor making at least one change by the end of the year.
