Here, experts weigh in on 10 mistakes many first-time job seekers make and how these errors can be avoided:
在这里，专家们总结了许多首次求职者易犯的10个错误，并给出了如何避免犯错的策略方法：

1. Putting too much weight on their GPA
过于看重自己的平均成绩GPA

”[A mistake first-time job seekers make is] believing that high academics is the most important factor in finding a job,” says Stephanie Kinkaid, program coordinator for the Wackerle Career and Leadership Center at Monmouth College in Monmouth, Ill. “Graduates need leadership qualities and the ability to articulate how those experiences have created a well-rounded individual.”
“初次求职者都会犯的错误是认为高学历才是找到工作的利器，把学历看成是最重要的因素，”蒙茅斯学院瓦克勒职业和领导中心职业规划人斯蒂芬妮-金凯德说。“毕业生需要具备领导能力和表达能力，明确有力地表达自己的这些经历是如何把自己打造成了一个多才多艺全面型的个人。”

2. Not doing enough research
没有充分做好调查研究工作

”Many times, job seekers don’t realize the importance in conducting research,” says Debra Ann Matthews, professional résumé writer and certified career coach. “Learn about how to obtain a job … Go to the library and read about job-search tools. Go to your local career center and see what they have to offer. Then take your inquiry a step further—see if these same institutions have social media services.”
“很多时候，求职者并没有意识到做研究工作的重要性，”求职简历写手和认证职业师黛布拉安-马修斯说。“关于如何得到一份工作要进行了解研究…通过去图书馆查阅资料，阅读求职手册的方式进行了解研究。去当地的职业中心，了解一下职业中心必须得提供怎样的职业人。然后，你再进一步调查这类机构是否有社交媒体服务。”

3. Not staying up-to-date on industry trends
没有跟上最新行业潮流趋势的步伐

”Graduates should do research not only on the company to which they are applying, but about the field in general,” Kinkaid says. “[For instance,] if you are entering the medical field, you should be knowledgeable about the Affordable Care Act, how politics affect medicine and social issues.”
“毕业生不仅应该对自己申请的公司做研究，而且还要对这一领域有个大体的研究，”金凯德说。“例如，如果你要进入医学领域，你应该了解平价医疗法案，了解政治是如何影响医学和社会问题的。”

4. Only considering full-time jobs
只考虑全职工作

”First-time job seekers devalue the benefits of temp and short term and placement services,” Matthews says. “Temp jobs … can be of value to a job seeker by giving that job seeker work experience in various tasks. Many temp agencies will offer computer-based trainings that can be learned and applied to résumés and used by job seekers to leverage their job search in a more strategic manner.”
“初次求职者看不起临时性工作、短期性工作和服务性行业，”马修斯说。“临时性工作…对于一个求职者是很有价值的，能让求职者对各种工作任务都有经验。许多临时性机构会提供计算机培训和学着做简历这类基础技能培训，求职者们可以用更具有挑战性的方式来调节他们的求职意向。”

5. Focusing only on jobs related to their degree
只关注与自己学位有关的工作

Dylan Schweitzer, group talent acquisition manager for Enterprise Holdings, says that new job seekers often think they can only work in a field directly related to their major and only apply to jobs in one specific industry. “You major in what you are interested in learning more about, but that doesn’t pigeonhole you into one type of opportunity.”
集团企业控股人才招聘经理迪伦-史怀哲说，新求职者们往往认为自己只能从事直接关系到自己专业领域的工作，只适用于在一个特定的行业工作。“你对关于自己的专业更有兴趣想要多了解了解，但这并不是要把你变成一种职业类型人士的机会。”
