職場英語:10大妙招趕走求職憂鬱症(下)
6. Donate your skills to a ing a charity, professional organization, or community group that could use your help does three good things, Mattson says. First, "giving back" makes you feel good about yourself. Second, you might make contacts that could lead to a new job. And third, you'll be keeping your skills sharp and giving yourself a recent project to talk about when you do land a job interview.
投身公益事業。麥特森表示，找一家能夠發揮你能力的慈善團體、專業機構，或者社區組織，這會給你帶來三個好處。首先，“回報社會”會讓你心情愉快。其次，你所接觸到的人可能幫你找到新的工作。第三，有助於你保持技術的嫺熟，同時保證你獲得面試機會時有話可說。
7. Stick to a daily routine."People need structure," Mattson notes. "The more you keep to a set schedule every day, the more productive you'll be." Her firm provides offices that out-placed managers can use in their job searches and, she says, "it's no coincidence that the ones who choose to come in every day bright and early, just as if they were going to 'the office' for a job, are the ones who find new jobs the fastest."
保持日常生活規律。麥特森強調：“人的生活需要有條理性。越是嚴格遵守既定日程的人，每天的效率也越高。”她的公司爲失業的經理人提供房間，用於職位搜索。她說：“有些人每天一大早就來到房間，好像他們是到‘辦公室’來工作一樣。這樣的人往往能最快找到新工作，這絕對不是巧合。”
8. Do something you love every day."Take an hour or so each day and do something you enjoy that energizes you, whether it's working out, gardening, listening to music, or whatever makes you happy," Mattson advises. Getting some endorphins flowing on a regular basis helps combat the job-search blues.
每天都做一些你喜歡的事情。麥特森建議：“每天花一個小時左右，做一些你喜歡的事情，讓自己精力充沛，包括健身、園藝、聽音樂，或者其他任何能讓你高興的事情。”經常讓你的內啡肽流動，可以幫你克服找工作帶來的負面情緒。
9. Don't beat yourself up."I have clients who say things like, 'I've been on x number of interviews and still haven't gotten any offers -- what's wrong with me?'," says Mattson. "The answer is, nothing! A long job search is an emotional roller coaster, and it's important to acknowledge that you're going to have good days and bad days. The bad days are a normal part of the process. They're not your fault."
不要氣餒。麥特森說：“我的一些客戶會說：‘我已經參加過x次面試了，可是依然沒有得到工作機會——我有什麼問題嗎？’答案是，你沒有任何問題！長時間的求職會使人的情緒像過山車一樣。求職者得承認，生活中有高潮就會有低谷，現在的低谷只是這個過程中正常的組成部分。這並不是你的錯。”
10. Remind yourself of your successes."Only you can tell others how good you are, but first you have to believe it yourself," Mattson says. "Write down a list of everything you've done in your career, and your life, that you're most proud of, and re-read it often." The point is to stay focused on the fact that, as she puts it, "you have been successful before -- and you will be again."
時刻提醒自己曾經的成就。麥特森表示：“只有你能告訴別人，你有多麼優秀；但是，首先你自己要有信心。找出你在職場和生活中做過的最讓你自豪的事情，列一個清單，經常拿出來溫習一遍。”她解釋說，關鍵是要始終堅持一個信念：“我曾經取得過成功——將來，我也能再創輝煌。”
