Do your New Year's resolutions include finding a new job? The Internet is a great resource for job seekers. But far too many people don't use it effectively. 你今年的新年愿望中有找一份新工作吗？互联网是求职者可以利用的一大资源，但是很多人没能有效地使用这个资源。

According to Nielsen Online, CareerBuilder, Monster and Yahoo HotJobs are the most visited job sites. These general job sites attract a wide variety of employers. There are literally¹ hundreds of thousands of job listings on these sites. 根据Nielsen Online公司统计，CareerBuilder、Monster和Yahoo HotJobs是最热门的求职网站。这些综合型求职网站吸引了各式各样的招聘者。这些网站上发布有数十万的招聘职位。

Some of the better jobs may not be listed on these sites. 可是，其中许多职位并不能吸引到中层或高层职业人士。如果你是其中之一，那么也许要在许多和你工作经验不匹配的职位中费力寻找。一些好工作可能不会登在这样的网站上。

Try Specialized³ Sites 使用专业网站

No matter what your field, you're likely to find a specialized site listing jobs related to your industry. 不论你身处哪个领域，都可能找到一个提供和你行业相关的求职招聘网站。

Specialized sites won't have the same volume of listings as general sites, but don't let this deter⁴ you. The listings will better suit your skills. 专业网站的职位数没有综合型网站多，但是别担心，这些职位会和你的技能更对口。

There's another advantage, too. You won't be competing against so many other job seekers. However, the competition will be better qualified⁵ than on other sites. 而且，还有一个优势是，和你竞争的其他求职者不会那么多。不过，专业网站上的竞争者较其它网站相比资格更高。

By joining an industry organization, you'll meet other professionals in your field. Some of the people you meet may have hiring authority. At the least, you'll learn about new job openings. Some may not even be listed online. 通过加入一个行业组织，你能结识同行。也许其中有些人有招聘的权力。至少，你会发现新的工作机会，而其中有些职位并不会在网上公布。

Also, industry associations often have job boards on their sites. These boards will help you find hidden job opportunities. 而且，行业联盟往往在网站中有工作机会板块。这些板块会让你找到隐藏起来的工作机会。(to be continued)
