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.
工作认可度比薪水更要紧。《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认可度。考虑考虑你喜欢、并能在工作中应用的技能、期望获得的技能或对你有意义的奖励，如此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 incentives1 does it have in place? Are employees encouraged to participate in company decisions? All of these questions are key indicators2 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。公司看重人才吗? 它重视职员进步吗？有哪些奖励勉励？鼓励职员参与公司决定吗? 来自南加州大学Marshall商学院的教授Ed Lawler说，这类问题都是考核雇主的品牌怎么样、公司对职员投入多少的重点指标。
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 counselor3 wants or your friends want, says Lindsey Pollak, author of Getting from College to Career.
排除应该。不要让其他人对你说如何做。《从大学到事业》一书作者Lindsey Pollak说：同意一份工作之前，必须要确保那是一份你想要的工作，而不是你爸爸妈妈或是职业顾问或者你的朋友们想要的。
