Brian: but, my college mate, she got a long process of rejections(拒绝), no company was likely to accept her , I mean every 1000 resumes received by employers, only 10 persons were taken on.

　　【注】我的这个小师妹投了无数个简历，最终除了几封自动回复表示将把您的简历存档日后如有需要再进一步联系的信外，其他都杳无音信。

　　Nikky: don't rely on (相信,依靠)job ads

　　Brian: yeah, but she doesn't have anything to rely on but the job ads, and the worst thing is she doesn't have any job experience which most companies need most nowadays

　　【注】现在的用人单位就是招一个扫地的，也要有两年以上大型企业扫地经验。

　　Nikky: just try to find those who need the new graduates (试试那些招收应届毕业生的单位)

　　Nikky: and go to the places she'd like to work and talk to the people who have the power to hire her, not just the personnel or human resource office .(人力资源部)

　　【注】我印象里，人力资源部都是一群扯淡的人在里面做一些扯淡的事情。记得第一次来上海找工作时，金茂大厦的那个漂亮的美国公司的上海小姐一听我不会说上海话就把我挡在门外，使我对上海公司人力资源的极差印象到现在都没有办法改变过来。

　　Brian: I agree with u there, but it's hard for her to come to know and talk those who have the power to hire her, every company has a HR office, that's what they are doing for, it's a rule(这是规矩).

　　Nikky: try the small companies(试试那些小公司)

　　Brian: she tried all of the small companies, but no results

　　Nikky: sorry to hear that, what does she want to work for, any specialties? (有特长么?)

　　Brian: the biggest specialty of her is no specialties. (她最大的特长就是没有特长)

　　【注】俞敏洪曾经在新东方的冬季辅导班开课是讲到：有一个同学专门研究蒋介石，这个其实不能算做特长，但是由于他研究和时间很长，而且研究得很深很透，所以最后他就被美国的一家大学教授看上了，邀请他过去读博士。他在美国读了四年博士，写了两本研究中国现代史的专著，最后他留在那所大学当了教授。从此他通过研究蒋介石和教授中国现代史在美国谋取了一席之地，他凭着这个能力就可以永远换取自己生活所必要的资源。俞到美国去看他的时候，汽车、房子、老婆、儿子他都有。我想这就是俞强调的特长吧。

　　Nikky: maybe she should be flexible, think about all the possible kinds of work she would enjoy and settle on more than one target company

　　Brian: she send out 50 resumes in 2 days without any answer

　　Nikky: what about the career planning office at the college?

　　Brian: u know, nikky , in our school, no students like to turn to the career planning office(Nikky指的是像我们大学里的大学生就业指导中心之类的部门), that's equal to joblessness.
