Emily: Hey Trent!
Trent: Oh hey Em, how’s things?
Emily: ①Not too shabby. How goes the job hunt?
Trent: 1)Meh. Not great to be honest.
Emily: How come?
Trent: I feel like I’m just nottapped into the job market.
Emily: But I’ve seen you checking the newspaper and internet every day.
Trent: I know. It just seems like every time something catches my eye, ②I call up to find out that someone else has already swooped in and scooped up the position.
Emily: Are you checking up-to-date postings?
Trent: Look here—this morning’s newspaper, right? Barely an hour old, right? These three jobs? Already gone.
Emily: You’re kidding me. That fast?
Trent: ③I just don’t know how to get ahead of the game.
Emily: You know, I was reading yesterday that social media is becoming the new job market.
Trent: How so?
Emily: People are using sites like Twitter and2)LinkedIn as PR devices.
Trent: I think I’ve heard something about this.
Emily: Yeah, they basically make a profile of themselves on the net that’s super professional and tweet about things related to their field.
Trent: I guess it was the next step after employers started checking out prospectives’ Facebook pages.
Emily: Eee…I remember that. ④My company was all over that like white on rice. I had something like 24 hours to try and erase everything 3)incriminating from my page.
Trent: It’s funny how these sites are moving toward a much more realistic model, eh? Can’t party your face off while you’re working, and now you can’t even do it online.
Emily: It was 4)inevitable though. And ⑤it’s best to jump on the 5)bandwagon early.
Trent: Speaking of that, did that article you read give any tips for job hunting via Twitter?
Emily: Um, let me think…oh, yeah! I remember one thing: it said that you should start following relevant people. Leaders in the industry, expert commentators, that kind of stuff.
Trent: Okay, that’s easy.
Emily: Oh, and you should 6)mosey on over to 7)TweetMyJobs.
Trent: What’s that?
Emily: It’s this great site where you can list cities and titles you’re interested in, and jobs will get tweeted to you as they appear.

Emily: Hey, no problem.
艾米丽：嗨，特伦特！
特伦特：哦，嗨，艾米，你好吗？
艾米丽：还行。工作找得怎么样了？
特伦特：还行。说实话，不怎么样。
艾米丽：为什么？
特伦特：我觉得我就是不太了解职场。
艾米丽：但是我看到你每天都在查阅报纸和网站啊。
特伦特：我知道。好像每次有引起我注意的职位，我打电话去问时都发现已经有其他人捷足先登了。
艾米丽：你查看的是最新职位吗？
特伦特：看这儿——今天早上的报纸，对吧？才一个小时的时间，对吧？这三份工作，已经没了。
艾米丽：你开玩笑吧。这么快？
特伦特：我真不知道该怎样占尽先机。
艾米丽：你知道吗？我昨天看书的时候看到社交媒体正在成为新型的求职广场。
特伦特：怎么弄的？
艾米丽：人们在用如推特和LinkedIn这样的网站来作为公关方式。
特伦特：我想我听到过关于这个的一些消息。
艾米丽：是的，他们大致说来就是在网上做一个超级专业的自我简介，然后发一些与他们自己领域相关的微博。
特伦特：我想这是在雇佣者开始查看潜力雇员的脸书网页之后的步骤。
艾米丽：咦……我记得，我们公司当时进行了全面密切的关注。我曾经有某个软件是可以全天候从我的主页上审查和清除所有错误的。
特伦特：这些网站如何朝着一个更具现实意义的模式发展是一件很有趣的事情，嗯？工作的时候都难以让视线离开屏幕，现在你甚至不能在线做这事儿。
艾米丽：虽然这不可避免，但最好尽早跟上潮流。
特伦特：说到这个，你读到的那篇文章有提到任何关于如何通过推特来找工作的建议吗？
艾米丽：呃，让我想想……噢，有的！我记得一点，它说：你们应该从关注相关人物开始，比如该行业的权威人士、专业评论员等等这种人物。
特伦特：好的，这很容易嘛。
艾米丽：哦，还有你应该经常逛逛TweetMyJobs。
特伦特：那是什么？
艾米丽：是一个很棒的网站，你可以在上面列出你感兴趣的城市和职位名称，当这类工作出现时就会发微博给你了。
特伦特：哇，听起来真不错啊，艾米。你真是我的救星！
艾米丽：嗨，别客气呀。
