  There are many ways to find a job.It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board.Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide.Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.

  Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper.Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.

  Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet.For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job.Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.

  Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university.For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job.Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do.For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute?” by Richard Bolles.This book has been helping people choose a career since it was first published in nineteen seventy.

  Some experts also help people find jobs.Susan W.Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles.She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests.Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.

Dear Jose,

  

  You have asked me for suggestions on how to get along in the United States. It is difficult to give advice, but I have found the following“dos”and“don'ts”helpful.

  

  As a __1__, it isn't easy to find anyone to ___2___ in a big city. However, here are some suggestions. First get or borrow ___3___ ! Walk him several times a day !Americans love dogs and usually stop ___4____ to anyone with a dog. Then, try to eat in a cafeteria(食堂). People generally ___5___ the same tables and will sometimes talk to you ___6___ they see that you are a (an)___7____. Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry(洗衣店)!It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people ____8___ there. They often pass the ___9____ talking to the other customers.____10____ ask for information from a woman, if you are a ____11___ ; and from a man, if you are a woman !It seems to get ___12____ results for a reason I can't understand. Learn the____13____“Please”,“Thank you”, and “You're welcome” before you come and use them all the time! They usually work like magic(魔术).

  

  There are some things you shouldn't. Don't tell the truth when people ___14____“How are you?” They only ____15___ the answer to be “Fine”. Never ask people their ___16_____ -- especially women! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are ____17___. Tell them they are losing ____18___. Everyone here wants to be ___19____. Don't be late for appointment! When someone says six o'clock, ____20___ be there by six. Americans respect time and expect everyone to be “on time”.

  

  Above all, don't worry ! Just follow my advice and bring a 1ot of money and you will get along. I hope I have been of some help to you.
