参加社交活动
Say Yes to all opportunities that involve talking to people. You never know who might know the person who is looking for the person who could be you in your next job.

Go on interviews, even if they're not for your ideal job

Don't underestimate your need to practice answering questions such as how and why your last job ended. You'll also need to decide how to present your work experience and which skills to emphasize. Practice on a friend or, better yet, someone in your field who's willing to give you a mock interview.
不要低估了训练回答问题的必要性，譬如像上一次工作因为什么结束这种问题。你还需要训练怎么样描述我们的工作经验、怎么样强调某些技能。和朋友一块演练很好，不过最好是由一位有关范围内的人给你进行一次仿真面试。
