找工作前不得不知的10件事 　　1 Unpaid internships are illegal 　　The biggest issue for todays graduates isnt joblessness it is unpaid internships. There is no legal definition of an intern, but national minimum wage law states anybody who qualifies as a worker must be paid at least ￡6.08 an hour (if aged 21 and over) unless their employer is a charity. 　　无报酬的实习是非法的 　　对今天的大学毕业生来说最大的问题不是没有工作，而是无报酬的实习。没有法律定义实习生，但国家最低工资的法律规定任何有工作资格的人必须获得至少6.08英镑每小时的报酬(如果21岁以上)，除非他们的雇主是慈善机构。 　　2 Ignore the headlines there are still jobs out there 　　News that 83 graduates apply for every job is eye-catching, but is it really true? Are graduates only applying to the big names, via adverts theyve seen in the most obvious places? 　　忽略头条新闻 除那之外还有工作 　　有消息称83个毕业生申请一份工作是引人注目的，但它是真的吗?通过他们在最显眼的地方看到的广告，难道大学毕业生只申请那些大公司吗? 　　3 Doing more education isnt the answer 　　A second degree means a better job or at least a better chance of getting a job. Right? Wrong. Think carefully before you sign up for an expensive postgraduate course that may be of little interest to employers and beware of the increasingly slick marketing methods used by universities (remember, education is a business now). 　　接受更多地教育并不是解决之道 　　第二学位意味着更好的工作或者至少是一个找到工作更好机会，对吗?这是错误的。在你签署那些你的雇主并不感兴趣的昂贵研究生课程之前仔细想想，同时提防大学日益华而不实的营销方式(记住，现在教育是一桩生意)。 　　4 Give the industry you have chosen a health check 　　The digital revolution has turned many industries upside down. The music industry, book publishing and print journalism are obvious examples, but other industries are suffering, too. This means the “dream jobs” youve set your heart on may not even exist in a few years and if they do, they could be poorly paid and insecure. 　　Graduates often hope that if they want their goal badly enough, theyll get there. Sadly, this isnt true. Look around. If people established in your chosen industry are bailing out, what does that tell you? Think laterally and take your skills to a growing sector. Your career spans 40 years. Dont pick an industry that will be dead in five.
