A Better Economy = Bring On The "Churn"
好的經濟形勢=新的“翻騰”
When the economy is stronger, like it is now, people feel more confident in switching jobs. That's why almost half the working population is saying they'll be hunting for work next year. In my industry, we call this "churn." - an increase in voluntary turnover. Passive candidates, a/k/a people who are doing well in their careers but want to do even better, start making themselves available to employers. Employers love to hire passive candidates who fall high on the talent spectrum because they know they're so busy succeeding in their jobs, they don't like to spend a lot of time looking for a new job. Recruiters will proactively reach out to these candidates via LinkedIn or email to let them know about potential opportunities with their company. The result? Good employers get their pick of top talent. Essentially, stealing them away from competitors.
當經濟走強時，就像現在，人們換工作時會更自信。這就是為什么，有幾乎一半的人說他們來年要找工作。在我的行業里，我們稱這為“翻騰”，即個人找工作意愿增加。被動的求職者，也就是那些在本行業里表現出色，但又想更出色的人們，已經開始發布有跳槽意愿的消息了。雇主們喜歡雇傭這些人，他們天資聰明，知道自己要忙著成功，而不是將時間花在找一份新工作上。招聘者喜歡通過領英或者郵箱找到這些人，并讓他們知道這些潛在的機會。結果是?好雇主們找到頂尖人才。更重要的是，能從競爭對手中把他們搶過來。
3 Ways To Bring Your Job Search "A" Game
三個方法助你拿下夢想工作
With all these people looking for work, the competition will be stiff. Here are a few of tips to help you compete:
有這么多人在找工作，競爭將會異常激烈。一些小建議幫助你在競爭中搶得先機：
1) Your network is your net worth.
1)關系網是你的凈值
Recruiters love, love, LOVE getting referrals. They're always asking existing employees if they know anyone for their open positions. Why? Studies show great talent knows great talent. In other words, when you get referred in to a job by a colleague, you get bonus points in the eyes of the recruiter because you're connected to someone they already trust.
招聘者喜歡，特別喜歡，有人推薦。他們一直詢問自己的員工，是否有合適的人選推薦。為什么?研究表明，頂尖人才才能找到頂尖人才。換句話講，當你通過他們中的人得到這份工作，招聘者就對你另眼相看，因為你與他們信任的人有聯系。
2) Interview prep will make or break you.
2)成也面試準備，敗也面試準備
When you go on an interview, you should think of yourself as a business-of-one who is marketing their services to the employer. You need to do your homework and be prepared to make the best impression possible. Employers hire on personality, aptitude, and experience. If you can't effectively show you are a match for all there, you won't get the job.
當去參加一個面試時，你應當將自己當做一個在向招聘者推銷服務的公司。做好功課，并盡可能留下好印象。招聘者雇傭的是個性、能力和經驗。如果不能有效地證明你就是他們所需要的，你將得不到這份工作。
3) Salary negotiation skills are your game-changer.
3)薪資談判技巧是關鍵
Did you know? Negotiating $5,000 more in salary early in your career can result in a total gain of more than $600,000 in additional earnings over a lifetime. Knowing the right way to negotiate pay and benefits will help you create a win-win situation so you can start your new job with excitement.
你知道么?在薪資上多談5000美元，將會給你整個工作生涯帶來60萬美元的額外收入。知道如何談判報酬，會給你帶來一個雙贏的局面，然后你就可以精神抖擻地開始新工作了。
PS - Knowing how to look for work is half the battle.
附言：知道如何找工作，你就成功了一半。
The tips above will be useless if you don't know the right way to look for work. Many job seekers will fail to achieve their goal in 2017 because they'll be using outdated job search techniques. i.e. wasting hours applying to jobs online, etc. If you are serious about changing jobs, then get some education on the latest techniques for finding and connecting with the best employers. When it comes to getting ahead in your career, you get out what you put in.
如果你不知道如何找工作，那么上面三個方法將都是無效的。2017年，許多求職者目標不會實現，因為他們在用過時的方法來找工作，例如：將時間浪費在網上申請職位等。如果對于換份工作這件事是認真的，那么你就花些時間學習最新的找工作方法，以及與最好雇主建立聯系的方法。想在職業生涯中更上一層樓，你付出多少，才會得到多少。
