Before you agree to help your friends with their job search and applications, it's important to know your boundaries. You don't want to set yourself up for a huge commitment, but you do want to be a supportive and helpful friend。 1.Give advice based on your skills Perhaps you are a great communicator and networker but terrible at grammar. Only help your friend in areas where you feel strong and confident。根据你的技能来提出建议——也许你擅长交际，很会搜索东西，但你的语法不好，那么你只需要在你自信又擅长的领域里帮助你的朋友就可以了。 2.Respond promptly You have a busy schedule too, but it's important that if you agree to help them, respond to their emails or phone calls in a timely manner。及时回复——如果你答应了帮朋友找工作的话，就算你的工作很忙，也要及时回复他们的邮件或电话。 3.Make small edits to cover letters and resumés Do check for grammatical errors and clarity, but don't tear apart their work and make elaborate changes. After all, their work must showcase and maintain their voice。帮忙改改朋友的求职信和简历——帮着看看有没有语法错误，结构是不是清晰。但不要把朋友的工作弄得支离破碎，也不要去做一些花里胡哨的改变。毕竟，他们做过的事才是亮点，要保证让他们发出自己的声音。 |
