1.读读行业杂志。你会跟上业内最新的发展，同时也能获取一些可能的工作列表。
2. Create a list of companies where you'd like to work. Use your connections to make contact with people who work at them. You don't need to ask them directly for a job; just call them to "talk about what it's like to work there," Griffen says.
2.列一个你愿意去工作的公司列表。动用你的人脉和在那些公司工作的人取得联系。你不需要直接请求他们给你一份工作，Griffen说，你要做的只是打个电话给他们“问问在那工作怎么样。”
3. Branch out. Consider whether a hobby could lead to a new career, for example, or whether you should learn a new skill.
3.扩大范围。比如，考虑一下一个爱好是否能引导你踏入一个新行业，或者你是否应该学习一种新技能。
