10 Smart College Summer Jobs
大學暑期工的明智十選
something in your field of study.
1.尋找一份與你專業相關的工作。
Clearly, a summer job is a great way to get a bit of experience in your field of study -- as well as show future employers that you have experience in the field already. Art History major, for example? See if you can work in a museum, even if it's just taking tickets. Even a small job that doesn't seem super important can help you see how things run and provide you with relevant experience.
顯然，暑期工是增加你專業領域經驗的好途徑，同時也可以向你未來的僱主展示在既定領域你已經有了相關經驗。比如說，藝術史專業？試試看能否在博物館工作，哪怕只是檢票。即使看起來不是那麼重要的工作業也可以幫助你瞭解事情是如何運轉的，進而帶給你相關的工作經驗。
abroad/have a cultural immersion experience.
2.去國外/尋求文化洗禮。
Not sure what you want to do? Interested in traveling but can't during the academic year? See if you can work somewhere different during the summer -- even if it's just in another part of the country. Your job may not be as interesting as you'd like, but you can still have a great experience and gain skills you can market later (like language skills, adaptability, and cultural awareness).
不清楚自己想要做什麼？喜歡旅遊，卻在學年中沒有機會去？假設在暑期你可以到不同的地方工作怎麼樣？即使只是在國內的其他地方。你的工作也許沒有想象中的那麼有趣，但是你依舊可以有很棒的體驗，獲得一些之後會爲你加分的技能（比如語言技能，適應能力和文化意識。）
somewhere that can provide you with networking connections.
3.選擇一個可以助你建立人脈的工作。
Even if you get a job that isn't exactly what you want, getting a job that can provide you with connections -- like professional references from your boss and people you'll meet during your time in the office -- can be a smart addition to the paycheck you get every week.
即使你的工作並不是你想要的，選擇一個可以建立人際關係的工作——比如你上司給你的專業參考信息和在辦公室裏可以遇到的人們——是每週除了薪水之外有益的額外收穫。
a job at the company you want to work for after graduation.
4.選擇你畢業之後想要去的公司工作。
Do you have an ideal place for where you want to work after you graduate? Instead of seeing if they are hiring, approach them about doing some kind of summer work. It can be a great way to get your foot in the door and connect you with people so that, when a position does open up, they'll already be familiar with you and your great work.
畢業之後你有想去的理想公司嗎？不要去看他們是否招人，通過暑期短工來接近他們。這是個接近理想公司的捷徑，可以把你和公司職員們聯繫起來，當有職位空缺時，他們已經熟知你的爲人和出色的工作能力了。
something that will help you get into graduate school.
5.尋求一些有益於你申請研究生的工作。
You may be an English major, for example, but you are planning on going to medical school. Show your dedication to the profession by working somewhere that connects more to your graduate plans than your undergraduate career -- like in a doctor's office or hospital. What you do outside of the classroom can often be incredibly important for you graduate school application; make it count!
比如說，也許你本科是英語專業，但是你打算去讀醫學院研究生。通過在一些與你研究生計劃相關而不是本科專業相關的地方工作，比如說醫生辦公室或者醫院，來向教授表明你的決意。你在課堂外所做的努力通常會對你的研究生申請非常重要；讓它發揮作用！ for something that provides amazing benefits.
6.尋找可以帶來非同尋常收益的工作。
There are jobs out there that provide benefits right when you start or even if you work part-time. They may not be your top choice of what to do, but any job provides money and experience that you can use to your advantage when looking for jobs after you graduate -- and jobs with good benefits can make your life as a student a lot easier. (Health insurance, anyone?)
有些工作一開始就能給你帶來收益，有些即便只是兼職也賺頭不小。它們也許不在你的首選之列，但是任何可以帶來金錢和經驗的工作，在你畢業求職時都可以利用。而且那些可以帶給你不錯收益的工作都會使你的學生生活更加輕鬆（健康保險，有人嘗試嗎？）
something that teaches you the skills you want.
7.找一份能讓你學習到想要技能的工作。
You may know you want to open your own business after you graduate, but your summer job is working at a non-profit community organization. Instead of looking at the job itself, look at what skills you'll gain while working there, like budgeting, marketing, customer service and administrative skills.
也許你計劃畢業之後自己創業，但是你暑假是爲非營利性組織工作的。不要只關注這項工作本身，要關注從這個工作中你可以學到什麼，比如說，預算、市場營銷、服務顧客和行政管理技巧。
at a place that provides the time and pay to do what you really want.
8.選擇能夠給予你充分時間和金錢去做你真正想做的事的工作。
Are you interested in having an internship -- but your financial situation requires that you have a paying job? Do you want to do research on a topic over the summer but don't have the funding? Find a job that pays the bills and allows you to pursue your other interests during the time you're not on the clock.
你是否對一份實習工作感興趣，但是你的經濟狀況卻要求你去找一份掙錢的工作？你是否想在暑假研究一項課題，卻苦於沒有資金？找一份可以掙錢，同時又能留給自己足夠的時間來追求自己興趣的工作吧。
a job that simply lets you have fun and explore a hobby.
9.找一份單純能使你樂在其中而且能培養興趣的工作。
Are you, for example, a Sociology major but you love to cook? Getting a job that allows you to explore your hobbies, like cooking, can make you an interesting job candidate after you graduate. (After all, no one wants to hire boring employees, right?!) Look for a summer job that lets you pursue your cocurricular interests while learning important skills you can use later.
比如說，你的專業是社會學，但是你熱愛廚藝。找一份可以使你培養愛好的工作，就像做飯，可以讓你在畢業之後成爲一個有趣的應聘者（畢竟沒人想要僱傭一個無聊的人，不是嗎？）。尋找一份可以使你追求興趣，同時也能學到日後有用的重要技能的工作吧。
something that demonstrates your intellectual curiosity.
10.選擇一份可以展示你求知慾的工作。
College is a great time to explore things that, while perhaps not specifically related to your career choice, are still interesting and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. So go do an architectural dig in Greece, help organize the archives at a famous library, or work as an artist's assistant. Jobs like these can help you earn the money you'll need while also showing future employers that you're an intellectually curious, hard-working employee.
大學時期是用來探索的好時光，那些探索也許與你的職業選擇無關，但卻是有趣且千載難逢的機遇。所以去發掘希臘建築的樂趣吧，到有名的博物館志願整理檔案吧，或者成爲藝術家的助手吧。從這類工作中，你不僅可以掙錢，同時也在向未來的僱主展示你是一個充滿探索精神又努力工作的僱員。
