成功求职者的五个秘密(3)

Completing a 26-mile marathon race shares some characteristics with a successful job search. 跑完26英里的马拉松赛跑和成功找到工作有一些相似之处。

There is one "winner" who crosses the finish line first. There are the many who quit before they've completed the race. Finally, there are the rest of us who don't finish first, but are determined to complete the race nevertheless. 这两者都是有一个“胜利者”会第一个穿过终点；有许多人中途退出；而其余的人并非第一个穿过终点，但还是决定完成比赛。

For most of us, half the battle is finishing the race, regardless of where we place among the finishers. The same goes for a job search. 对多数人来说，完成比赛就是成功的一半，不论最后是排在第几位。找工作也是如此。

有五个秘密诀窍能帮你在求职中更好地获得成功。

3. Replenish Yourself 给自己打气

The job search process, like a marathon race, can be an endurance test with a lot of disappointments and setbacks. It can also go on for weeks, months, and for some people, even a year or more. If you're going to outlast this process and prevail, you have to take care of yourself. This means taking time to relax to take your mind off the challenges, frustrations and rejections. Work hard on your job search, then take time out to exercise and pursue activities that bring you joy and replenish you. 找工作的过程如同马拉松比赛一样是一个充满许多失望和挫折的耐力考验，它可能持续几周、几个月，对某些人来说可能会持续一年或者更久。如果你想“完成”这一过程并取得胜利，那么就要照顾好自己。这就是说要去放松，使大脑暂时不考虑那些挑战、沮丧和拒绝。努力找工作，然后花时间锻炼、参加让你快乐、振奋的活动。(to be continued)
