5 job-hunting donts 浪费时间的5种求职误区 Time is money -- whether youve got a job or not. While it may be tempting to chase down every possibility when youre searching for work, dont. Many can lead you down a blind alley -- where you may lose the contents of your wallet. 时间就是金钱，不管你找到工作与否。虽说在找工作的过程中要抓住每一个机会听起来很诱人，但是不要这样做。很多机会可能会让你进入一个损失钱财的死胡同。 A focused search using tried and true methods, especially networking, will lead to your next job, not tactics that smack of desperation. 在找工作的时候，不是靠那些无用的战术理论，而是有重点（特别是在人际网络方面）地使用正确的、可靠的方法才能找到下一份工作。 Avoid these five job-hunting donts that will yield the poorest of results, according to leading workplace advisor Liz Ryan. 根据职场顾问的领尖人物Liz Ryan的建议，要警惕以下5个求职者不能做的事情，来避免最差的求职结果。 1.

Ryan, a former human resources executive, points to company-specific open hours and college placement job fairs. Tap your network to learn if anyone can recommend worthwhile fairs.
