如何选择适合自己的职业？

Steps to make a good career choice.

Continue Narrowing Down your List

继续缩减名单

Pare down your list of possible occupations based on what you learned from your research. For example, you may not be willing to put the time and energy into preparing for an occupation for which an advanced degree is required, or you may consider the earnings for a particular occupation inadequate.

根据个人的资料收集，继续把职业名单缩减下来。例如，也许你并不想把时间和精力花费在一个需要高等学历的职位上，又或者你觉得某一个职位的薪酬水平并不符合自己的预期，那么你就可以把这些职位删除掉。

Conduct Informational Interviews

信息会面

At this point you should only have a few occupations left on your list (two to four). You now have to gather more in-depth information. Your best source of it are people who have firsthand knowledge of the occupations in which you are interested. Identify who they are and conduct informational interviews with them.

到了这一步你的名单也就剩下几个职位选择了（2个到4个左右）。那么你就需要在挖掘更深一层的信息。最佳的信息收集方法就是从拥有第一手资料的那些人着手。看看哪些人对这个行业很熟悉并与他们安排会面。
