Before you agree to help your friends with their job search and applications, it's important to know your boundaries. You don't want to set yourself up for a huge commitment, but you do want to be a supportive and helpful friend.
在你答应帮助朋友找工作之前，先想想自己有多大的能力，这一点很重要。你不需要给朋友做出太大的承诺，但你需要给予他们支持和帮助。
1.Give advice based on your skills– Perhaps you are a great communicator and networker but terrible at grammar. Only help your friend in areas where you feel strong and confident.
1. 根据你的技能来提出建议——也许你擅长交际，很会搜索东西，但你的语法不好，那么你只需要在你自信又擅长的领域里帮助你的朋友就可以了。
2.Respond promptly– You have a busy schedule too, but it's important that if you agree to help them, respond to their emails or phone calls in a timely manner.
2. 及时回复——如果你答应了帮朋友找工作的话，就算你的工作很忙，也要及时回复他们的邮件或电话。
3.Make small edits to cover letters and resumés– Do check for grammatical errors and clarity, but don't tear apart their work and make elaborate changes. After all, their work must showcase and maintain their voice.
3. 帮忙改改朋友的求职信和简历——帮着看看有没有语法错误，结构是不是清晰。但不要把朋友的工作弄得支离破碎，也不要去做一些花里胡哨的改变。毕竟，他们做过的事才是亮点，要保证让他们发出自己的声音。
4.Offer a list of informative websites– If you don't want to spend a lot of time going over all the gritty formalities of the job application process, recommend a few websites that cover the basics of how to build a resumé and prepare for the interview.
4. 提供有用的网站——如果你不想花大把时间在帮朋友处理工作申请流程的话，那么就给他们推荐一些有用的网站吧，主要是那些指导如何写简历，如何准备面试的网站。
5.Always be supportive– Job searches can be tough on the morale and confidence, and many people become hypersensitive during this time. Find ways to be uplifting and encouraging to your friend, and be constructive in your criticism.
5. 做坚强的后盾——找工作的时候，对于士气和自信是很大的考验。很多人在找工作的时候会变得异常敏感。想办法给朋友加油打气，激励他们，提出的意见也要是有建设性的。
6.Conduct a mock interview– Without interruptions, play the role as the hiring manager, and ask your friend questions that they will anticipate for the real interview. Listen to their answers carefully, jot down good and bad observations, and go over your suggestions afterward.
6. 模拟面试——不要有任何的打断，你来扮演面试官，向你的朋友提出各种在真实面试中可能会被问到的问题。仔细听他们的答案，把好的和不好的表现都记录下来，并在模拟面试后给出自己的建议。
7.Leave details to the experts– While there are some universal rules for the application process, don't assume that you know their industry. Answer general questions, but suggest that they turn to another friend for details or a trustworthy perspective.
7. 把细节问题交给专家——尽管在申请工作的过程中有些共性的东西，但不要以为自己对每一个行业都很了解。回答那些具有普适性的问题，细节方面，可以建议你的朋友去找另一个更懂行的朋友。
