Be Open-Minded
保持開放的頭腦
Relocating to Virginia from upstate New York, Jamie Chigos landed a position as a financial analyst within two weeks. How?
從紐約上州到弗吉尼亞，Jamie Chigos在兩周內得到了財務分析的工作，她是怎麼做到的？
"I kept an open mind, sent resumes everywhere and went to every agency whether they were hiring or not," said Chigos.
Chigos說，“我保持一個開放的頭腦，四處投遞簡歷，到每一個中介去，不筦他們現在是不是在招人。”
In addition to applying to as many companies as possible, Chigos tried to be open to a range of opportunities.
除了申請儘可能多的公司之外，Chigos並不是申請單一的工作，她願意嘗試一個範圍內的所有機會。
"People have to be willing to be open-minded about the kinds of positions they want," said Chigos. "
Instead of going for a specific job, try going to a company or an employment agency and saying 'This is what I know.' What you know can be applied to a number of different positions."
Chigos說，“人們必須願意對他們願意嘗試的職位保持一個開放的心態，不要尋求特定的工作，試著走進一傢公司或者一傢招聘中介，說，‘這就是我所知道的東西’，你的知識可能會申請到一些不同的職位。”
