10 Smart College Summer Jobs
大学暑期工的明智十选

1.Get something in your field of study.
1.寻找一份与你专业相关的工作。

Clearly, a summer job is a great way to get a bit of experience in your field of study -- as well as show future employers that you have experience in the field already. Art History major, for example? See if you can work in a museum, even if it's just taking tickets. Even a small job that doesn't seem super important can help you see how things run and provide you with relevant experience.
显然，暑期工是增加你专业领域经验的好途径，同时也可以向你未来的雇主展示在既定领域你已经有了相关经验。比如说，艺术史专业？试试看能否在博物馆工作，哪怕只是检票。即使看起来不是那么重要的工作业也可以帮助你了解事情是如何运转的，进而带给你相关的工作经验。

2.Go abroad/have a cultural immersion experience.
2.去国外/寻求文化洗礼。

Not sure what you want to do? Interested in traveling but can't during the academic year? See if you can work somewhere different during the summer -- even if it's just in another part of the country. Your job may not be as interesting as you'd like, but you can still have a great experience and gain skills you can market later (like language skills, adaptability, and cultural awareness).
不清楚自己想要做什么？喜欢旅游，却在学年中没有机会去？假设在暑期你可以到不同的地方工作怎么样？即使只是在国内的其他地方。你的工作也许没有想象中的那么有趣，但是你依旧可以有很棒的体验，获得一些之后会为你加分的技能（比如语言技能，适应能力和文化意识。）

3.Work somewhere that can provide you with networking connections.
3.选择一个可以助你建立人脉的工作。

Even if you get a job that isn't exactly what you want, getting a job that can provide you with connections -- like professional references from your boss and people you'll meet during your time in the office -- can be a smart addition to the paycheck you get every week.
即使你的工作并不是你想要的，选择一个可以建立人际关系的工作——比如你上司给你的专业参考信息和在办公室里可以遇到的人们——是每周除了薪水之外有益的额外收获。

4.Get a job at the company you want to work for after graduation.
4.选择你毕业之后想要去的公司工作。

Do you have an ideal place for where you want to work after you graduate? Instead of seeing if they are hiring, approach them about doing some kind of summer work. It can be a great way to get your foot in the door and connect you with people so that, when a position does open up, they'll already be familiar with you and your great work.
毕业之后你有想去的理想公司吗？不要去看他们是否招人，通过暑期短工来接近他们。这是个接近理想公司的捷径，可以把你和公司职员们联系起来，当有职位空缺时，他们已经熟知你的为人和出色的工作能力了。

5.Find something that will help you get into graduate school.
5.寻求一些有益于你申请研究生的工作。

You may be an English major, for example, but you are planning on going to medical school. Show your dedication to the profession by working somewhere that connects more to your graduate plans than your undergraduate career -- like in a doctor's office or hospital. What you do outside of the classroom can often be incredibly important for you graduate school application; make it count!
比如说，也许你本科是英语专业，但是你打算去读医学院研究生。通过在一些与你研究生计划相关而不是本科专业相关的地方工作，比如说医生办公室或者医院，来向教授表明你的决意。你在课堂外所做的努力通常会对你的研究生申请非常重要；让它发挥作用！
