　　Part ⅠWriting

　　How to Get Prepared for a Job

　　With more and more graduates from colleges and universities every year, job hunting has become more and more difficult. In order to gain an upper hand, it is necessary for us to prepare ourselves when we are still on campus.

　　There are several measures college students can take to sharpen their edges. First, it is important to learn the kind of writing skills that will help us get an interview. Writing effective resumes, letters of application, and interview follow-up letters can give us an edge in the job market. Second, we should have knowledge of the job itself. The job we are looking for should neither be beyond our reach nor should it be too easy. Instead, it should bring your abilities into full play.

　　If I do get an interview, take time to prepare well for it. It could be the most important meeting of my career. Try to anticipate what questions will be asked and have answers ready. Present your best appearance and conduct. As a matter of courtesy, and to strengthen your case, write a follow-up letter to thank the interviewer for the interview.

　　In a word, opportunity will only favor those with a ready mind. We should get well-prepared for the future success.
