一篇讲怎样改善没有工作经验这个劣势的文章，可以借鉴。
Peter Vogt, MonsterTRAK Career Coach
Graduation is just around the corner, and you're panicking because you feel you
have little or no work experience that will wow prospective employers, and you
don't have enough time to get any before you graduate.
Don't despair. For starters, you may have more experience than you realize --
experience gained not through professionally oriented work or internships, but
instead through part-time, volunteer experiences, student or community
organizations, or even your own hobbies and avocations. A campus career
counselor can help you identify and effectively market these important
undertakings.
But even if you have no relevant experiences to speak of, you can still pursue
or create some after you've graduated from college. Though there may well be
such a thing as too little when it comes to your work experience, especially as
it relates to the professional career you want to pursue, there's no such thing
as too late.
What can you do after you've graduated to gain some (or more) helpful work
experience in your chosen field? Your options may surprise you. You can:
Get a Postgraduation Internship.
There's no law saying you can do an internship only while you're still in
college. Many new college grads pursue internships, either for credit or not,
paid or unpaid, after graduation. Certainly you may have to make a case for
yourself with the internship provider. On the other hand, many internship
providers appreciate interns who are a little older than most and who have,
like you perhaps, given more careful thought to their career goals and how they'
ll achieve them.
Take a Part-Time Job in Your Field.
It's easy, often for financial reasons, to rule out part-time jobs without
seriously considering them. Be careful in this regard. Part-time jobs sometimes
offer good opportunities for you to gain experience, because they're frequently
hard to fill and often consist of a wide range of tasks and responsibilities.
Maybe you could combine a part-time job in your field with another part-time
job in the same or a different field so you can still gain the experience you
need and pay the bills.
Volunteer to Do Project Work for a Company.
Companies everywhere have tasks that go undone and projects they dream of
tackling but don't have the time or staff to pursue. Does a company in your
field appear to have a gap between what it is doing and what it wants to do? If
so, consider offering to fill that gap, if only on a temporary, volunteer
basis. You win, because you gain work experience you really need. The company
wins because you help it achieve goals it couldn't have achieved on its own.
And this mutually beneficial relationship just might lead to something paid and
permanent.
Take a Temp Job.
These days, temporary staffing firms offer opportunities in many career areas
within an assortment of professional settings. By temping, you can earn some
money, perhaps receive important benefits such as health insurance and get some
professional experience. Perhaps most importantly, you can gain that experience
in a wide variety of companies and industries. This experience might make you
that much more appealing to employers who consider you for full-time positions
in the future. All companies like to hire employees who have wide-ranging
skills and can deal with both ambiguity and constant change.
One of the greatest alleviators of career-related fears is the knowledge that
you have options. That's certainly the case when you find yourself facing
graduation with seemingly little or no career-related work experience.
You do have options in this increasingly common situation -- many, in fact. By
pursuing one or more of them and accepting the hard work and occasional risks
accompanying that pursuit, you can give yourself the experience you need to
land the satisfying job you really want.
