Getting Great References
找到最好的举荐人

It is inevitable that at some point in your job search you will be asked for references, and when you are, you want to be sure you have a great group of advocates who are prepared with answers that will help rather than hinder your chances at landing the position. References are something you should think about at the beginning of your interview process and not just at the end when you are under immediate pressure to provide them.
在你的求职某个时刻，不可避免的会被要求提供举荐人，在这个时候，你就希望举荐人是一位做好了充分准备的，能够帮你得到这份工作机会，而不是会妨碍你成功面试的人。举荐人是你在面试开始之前就应该要考虑的事情，而不是在面试快接近尾声时突然被要求提供时慌慌张张的去想应该说谁。

Start by making a list of all the possible people you can use as a reference. Be sure to think about:
从列出一张可能成为你的举荐人的名单开始吧，确保你考虑了：

1） Former employers and managers  前任雇主和经理

2） Former clients  前客户

3） College professors 大学教授

4） Family friends who have seen you in a professional setting 已经了解过你工作的亲友

5） Association leaders 协会领导

It is fine if a reference no longer works for the company where you were employed together, or if they live in another city. It is more important that the individuals you choose know you well enough, have experience working with you, and are willing to vouch for you. In short, you are looking for anyone who can communicate your experience, skills, integrity, professionalism, and can-do attitude to any potential employer.
如果一位举荐人不再在你以前工作过的公司上班了，或住在别的城市都是没关系的。重要的是你选的举荐人对你非常了解，曾经和你共事过，并且愿意为你担保。总之，你要找的举荐人，是能够向任何一位雇主证明你的经验、技能、诚实、专业以及你的能干的。

Once you have a list of approximately five potential references you need to:
在你大概确定了5位举荐人后，你需要做：

1. Ask them for permission. Be sure to keep thorough notes of when you contacted them and what their response was.
征求他们的许可。要确保在和他们联系的时候你做好了详细的分析笔记，并明确他们的反应。

2. Ask for their preferred means of contact, whether it is by personal or office phone, or if they would rather be contacted via e-mail.
询问他们的主要联系方式，是私人电话还是办公室电话，或者他们更情愿通过邮件的形式联系。

3. Discuss the following likely questions with your potential references, so that you know what they are going to say and there are no surprises. You can tell them what points you are aiming to reinforce with the employers who might contact them and more than likely they will happy for the input.
和你的潜在举荐人共同探讨以下问题，这样你才知道他们会说什么，不会有什么意外发生。你可以告诉他们，在雇主可能和他们联系的时候，你希望他们补充哪些要点，那样他们更乐意付出。

1） What was your relationship with the candidate?  你和候选人是什么关系？

2） What responsibilities did she perform in her position with the company?  她以前曾经在公司担任过哪些职责。

3） Why did she leave that position?  她为什么会离职？

4） What are her strengths? Weaknesses? 她的优点是? 缺点是？

5） What was her approximate salary?  她的薪资大概是多少？

6） Would you hire or work with this person again?你是否会再次聘用此人（或与她共事）？

It is also a good practice to keep a folder of references and commendations for a job well done that you augment throughout your career. Get into the habit of asking for a letter of reference from someone who you have worked with who might be moving on and ask that person if they would be willing to serve as a verbal reference as well. This is certainly something to keep in mind if you are or have worked as an intern where the big payoff is more likely to be in experience gained and contacts made than in money earned.
将你整个职业生涯中因出色的工作成就而累积收到的推荐和赞扬记录下来，保存在一个文档里也是个好方法。养成这样的习惯，就是当你知道和你共事的某人即将离职时，要求他帮你写一封举荐信，也顺便问问那个人是否愿意担当你的口头举荐人。这一点尤其是你在作为实习生的时候要记住，因为这个时期你最大的回报可能是积累经验和结交朋友，而不是挣钱。
