At the start of the freshman year, finding a job after graduation is probably the last thing on your mind, but before you know it, it will be senior year and finding that job will be your top priority. Hi, I am Lindsey Pollak, generation Y and career expert and author of Getting from College to Career. I am standing here on the campus of Columbia University to talk about a four-year plan, to land a job of your dreams after you graduate.

在你剛上大學(xué)的時候，不用過多擔(dān)心你的職業(yè)規(guī)劃。嘗試大量的活動，讓你的足跡遍布校園。去上各種課程，看看你最感興趣的是什么。

But everybody's experience is very different, there are few guidelines you can follow for each of your four years. Freshman year, don't worry too much about your career plans, try a lot of activities, get your feet wet on campus and take several different classes to see what it is you most enjoy. Sophomore year is a time to narrow down your academic focus and decide on the college major. You also want to narrow your options in terms of your extra curricula activities to focus on your biggest commitments.

大學(xué)二年級的時候，你可以縮小你關(guān)注的學(xué)院范圍，決定你的專業(yè)。減少課外活動，把精力集中在最重要的事情上。

And finally I recommend getting a professional internship the summer between your sophomore and junior years to start having professional experience you will be able to list on your resume. Junior year is a time to take on leadership positions in the extra curricula activities that you've chosen. It's also really important to get your GPA above 3.0 because that is the cutup for many employers to give you a job. And finally if you haven't on an internship already, it's essential to have at least one on your resume by the end of your junior year.

大學(xué)三年級，在你已經(jīng)選擇的一些課外活動中擔(dān)當(dāng)一些領(lǐng)導(dǎo)工作。這對于你獲得3.0以上的平均分來說至關(guān)重要。也會更容易讓你在畢業(yè)后獲得一份工作。

至少找一份實習(xí)生的工作來做。實習(xí)經(jīng)歷在你畢業(yè)的簡歷上是必不可少的。

GPA: grade?point?average 平均分。美國的GPA滿分是4分

During your senior year, your goal should be to find a balance among the leadership positions you've taken on in your extra curricular activities. Keeping up your great point average in your college major and focusing on the job search for a position after graduation. I strongly encourage you to become involved in your career services centre to make sure you are clear on the deadlines and requirements for any jobs you will be applying to.

在大學(xué)的最后一年。你的目標(biāo)是在你的各種課外活動中取得平衡。學(xué)好你的主要課程，把精力集中在找工作上。

And finally it's your senior year of college, enjoy it, have some fun, take some time to really enjoy college before you're orphan to the real world.

最后，好好享受你的大學(xué)時光，在你獨自面對社會之前盡情享受學(xué)校生活。
