To avoid landing in a position that's not for you, here are 12 pieces of advice to consider about the job hunting process before you accept your first job.

为了避免找到的工作不适合自己而陷入困境，在接受第一份工作之前，这里有12条建议供你在求职过程中参考。

4. Job satisfaction is more important than salary. Consider job satisfaction as well as salary, suggests Rachelle Canter, author of "Make the Right Career Move." Launch yourself in a direction you want to go by considering the skills you have and enjoy using, skills you want to acquire and rewards that are meaningful to you.

工作满意度比薪水更重要。《做出正确职业选择》一书作者Rachelle Canter的建议是：考虑薪水的同时也要考虑工作满意度。考虑一下你喜欢、并能在工作中应用的技能、希望获得的技能或对你有意义的奖励，这样能给自己一个理想的定位。

5. Evaluate the employer's brand. Does a company place an emphasis on its talent? Does it engage in employee development? What reward incentives does it have in place? Are employees encouraged to participate in company decisions? All of these questions are key indicators of an employer's brand and how much a company invests in its employees, says Ed Lawler, professor of the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California.

评估雇主的品牌。公司重视人才吗? 它注重员工发展吗？有什么奖励激励？鼓励员工参与公司决定吗? 来自南加州大学Marshall商学院的教授Ed Lawler说，这些问题都是考核雇主的品牌如何、公司对员工投入多少的关键指标。

6. Get rid of the "shoulds." Don't listen to what other people tell you that you should want. "Before accepting a job, make sure it's a job you want and not a job your parents want, your college counselor wants or your friends want," says Lindsey Pollak, author of "Getting from College to Career."

排除“应该”。不要让别人告诉你应该怎么做。《从大学到事业》一书作者Lindsey Pollak说：“接受一份工作之前，一定要确保那是一份你想要的工作，而不是你父母或是职业顾问或者你的朋友们想要的。”
