　　Will you get a good job？ What will you do？ Many new graduates feel lost when they consider the endless list of career choices. They’ve invested（投資）a lot of money for their diploma（文憑）and now an important question stares them in the fact.

　　I’ve seen so many now graduates who do not know how to use the degree they have just earned. An example was Dave，who loved sports and had played baseball throughout his college years. He had his heart set on working for Nike. But he had never made clear in his own mind what kind of job he could do for Nike，so nothing ever happened. Another example was Allison，who was a history major. She wanted to work as an event planner，but unfortunately，no one hired her. Why？ No experience.

　　Failing to do some solid career exploration first，to get a clear idea of the types of jobs you can do，is a big error that many college students make. After our suggestion，Dave and Allison both found their jobs. To ensure a brighter future，follow these effective strategies：

　　—Make educated career choices. Identify the job you want. Conduct research. Ask parents to advise you on actual job duties. Consider what your natural talents are，and look for positions where you can use them.

　　—Don’t rely on the Internet. Networking is an effective tool—be sure it’s a job—hunting strategy you use. New studies from the Department of Labor state that only 4％ of job-seekers found their job on the Internet. The fact is that 63％ of all jobs are filled by contacts.

　　Employers are making quick decisions. Most people lose the job in the first minute of the interview. It’s deadly to let the employers focus quickly on how well you can perform the job.

　　—Practice your interviewing skills. Be ready for the tough questions by first writing out good answers to possible questions and having a role-playing interview with your friend.

Just how popular was Mini? Very. Every year, her classmates voted her  31 the favourite student. She was so easy to 32 along with that the number of friends she had by far outnumbered (壓倒)those of anyone else in her group.

One day the 10-year-old was  33  talking in the class and ordered to stay back as  34 . Staying back 35 doing something “useful”, like helping in the garden or library after school.

   Now the school in which Mini 36  had a rule of sorts. Once a month, you could interchange your punishment schedule with someone else. If you 37 something else to do the day you were punished, you could 38 a friend to stand in for you. Of course, you had to return the favour, but in that same month itself. Otherwise the favour cancelled itself out. So the students who stayed back for others and wanted the favour repaid, found ways to be punished that very month. 39 it happened, on that day a very dear aunt was visiting Mini on her way back to America. That afternoon was the only  40  Mini had of seeing her for another five years. Mini needed someone to stand in for her. That was a problem though it was the last day of the month. So anyone who helped her, would do so out of friendship's sake alone. She sought out Preeti, her “best'”friend. "Oh no Mini, I can't," Preeti said. "I have to coach my brother for his nursery entrance test. The kid just can't seem to get into any decent （體面的）school." And she spent a good  41 of time telling Mini of her brother's problems.

"Mohit, 42 you stay back for me?" Mini asked another friend who was dribbling a ball（運(yùn)球） in the playground. She knew he often just hung around after school. "To help the librarian? I  43 you'd told me earlier. I have to go to a relative's house with my father. Some other day perhaps," and  44 that Mohit fled.

   By now, Mini was beginning to  45  if even one of her friends would 46  to stay. But she tried again. Three  47 friends and each one refused. Of course, no one said "no" outright. Mini was a great pal, after all. But each had a “reason”why they couldn't take her place that afternoon, and if only it were some other day...

   So, after school Mini stayed back to help the  48 , Ms Mathur. And, when the remote Ms Mathur found her crying after everyone had left, it was she  49  surprised Mini by allowing her to leave to meet her aunt. "Some popularity I have," Mini murmured（嘟囔） to herself, as she went home. "I may have many friends, but in reality I have  50 ."
