未來職業(yè)早規(guī)劃

Peer Story同齡故事

只要有心，生活中的許多細(xì)節(jié)和靈感都可以變成職業(yè)發(fā)展方向。本期即將出場(chǎng)的主人公馬克——美國時(shí)尚校園雜志《Rez (life)》的主創(chuàng)者，其創(chuàng)刊靈感便來源于他的校園生活。

My Magazine， My Pride

Marc Andrew Deley， 22， who comes from Buffalo， New York， created his own magazine， Rez (life)， a publication for college students that focuses on photography and college life.

When in high school， Marc was on the yearbook staff1) and newspaper staff. And in college， he was the newspaper photo editor. At that time， he realized that college papers are focused on news and sports; however， many students are interested in entertainment， fashion， and music. Therefore， he went and found writers and editors around the college campus to create a magazine， Rez (life).

Marc managed to have a legal structure set for a corporation， and found good people to work on it and those people found good people. The magazine was growing and good things were happening; what the students produce in it amazed Marc a lot.

When asked whether he had run into an obstacle， Marc answered \"My age.\" Being younger means he had to work and prepare harder in order to convince people his magazine was a professional publication. He always acted professionally. \"If you want people to take you seriously， you have to be serious about what you're doing.\"

In Rez (life)， Marc wanted to convey a message to college students that you can be in college and produce work that is of equal， if not better， quality than what adult professionals are producing. Rez (life) is proof that you don't have to wait until you are out of college to produce a professional product.

我的雜志，我的驕傲

22歲的馬克·安德魯·德雷來自紐約州布法羅市，他創(chuàng)辦了自己的雜志《Rez (life)》，這是一本面向大學(xué)生的刊物，內(nèi)容以攝影和大學(xué)校園生活為主。

上高中時(shí)，馬克任職于學(xué)校年刊和校報(bào)。大學(xué)期間，他擔(dān)任過報(bào)紙圖片編輯。在那時(shí)，他意識(shí)到大學(xué)的報(bào)紙都是以新聞和體育為主;然而，很多學(xué)生感興趣的是娛樂、時(shí)尚和音樂。因此，他到大學(xué)校園里去發(fā)掘作者和編輯，創(chuàng)辦了《Rez (life)》雜志。

馬克設(shè)法建立了有合法組織的公司，并找來優(yōu)秀的人員進(jìn)行運(yùn)作，而這些人又找來了優(yōu)秀的人才加入。這本雜志逐步發(fā)展，好事也接連發(fā)生;學(xué)生們?cè)谶@本雜志中所呈現(xiàn)的圖文讓馬克感到十分驚喜。

當(dāng)被問及是否曾經(jīng)遇到過阻礙時(shí)，馬克回答說是“他的年齡”。年齡小意味著他必須更加努力地工作，做更充足的準(zhǔn)備，以使大家相信他的雜志是一本專業(yè)的刊物。他也一直表現(xiàn)得非常專業(yè)?！叭绻阆胍蠹艺J(rèn)真對(duì)待你，那么你就必須認(rèn)真對(duì)待你正在做的事情。”

在《Rez (life)》雜志中，馬克想向大學(xué)生傳達(dá)這樣一個(gè)信息:在上大學(xué)的同時(shí)，即使你的作品不能超越成年專業(yè)人士的作品，但至少可以制作出與之旗鼓相當(dāng)?shù)淖髌??！禦ez(life)》就很好地證明了一點(diǎn):要制作專業(yè)的作品，你無須等到畢業(yè)之后。

馬克給青少年的建議

\"Never think you can't do it. Be aggressive2) and get involved. The more you do now， the more contacts you'll make in the business and that will help in the long run.\"

“永遠(yuǎn)不要認(rèn)為自己無法做到。要有進(jìn)取心，并積極參與。你現(xiàn)在做得越多，就越能更多地接觸這個(gè)行業(yè)，從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來看，這將會(huì)很有幫助?！?/p>

Experts' Notes

興趣是最好的“職業(yè)導(dǎo)航儀”，它能帶你找到適合你發(fā)展的領(lǐng)域，并成為你堅(jiān)持不懈、奮斗不息的強(qiáng)大動(dòng)力。

“量體”找工作

大多數(shù)青少年都在尋求各種方式來賺取額外的收入，他們想要做些事情來提升自己的斗志，同時(shí)，也讓自己感覺更加成熟，更有準(zhǔn)備地來面對(duì)這個(gè)世界。

一份青少年時(shí)期的工作必須值得讓充滿好奇的青少年花費(fèi)時(shí)間。找到最適合你的工作，關(guān)鍵在于了解哪個(gè)工作符合你的個(gè)性和性情。然而，鑒于青少年在目前所處的年齡段還不能確切地知道自己想要什么，那么最好做一些能夠引起自己興趣的事情。

那么，你又如何才能知道自己會(huì)對(duì)哪類工作感興趣呢?通過以下這些基本問題評(píng)估自己，是幫助你在青少年時(shí)期找工作的方法之一。

1.你會(huì)花大量時(shí)間在計(jì)算機(jī)前進(jìn)行研究嗎?那么你或許會(huì)喜歡開發(fā)教學(xué)軟件。教別人使用計(jì)算機(jī)，或者你可以在家辦公，為那些無法完成計(jì)算機(jī)任務(wù)的人工作，例如幫他們編程或編碼等。

2. 你喜歡烹飪或是在廚房做東西嗎?如果是這樣的話，那么你可以烘焙小甜餅、蛋糕或是油酥點(diǎn)心，賣給你的鄰居、朋友和社區(qū)居民，或是正在尋找這類產(chǎn)品用于出售的商店。

3. 你喜歡藝術(shù)或喜歡變廢為寶嗎?如果是的話，那么你可以做一些手工藝品或是手工制作的卡片，賣給專營(yíng)商店或是朋友。若是他們喜歡你的作品，得到認(rèn)可或推薦后，你將擁有更多的客戶。

4.你是能夠圍繞房屋做相關(guān)維修和跑腿活的能工巧匠嗎?那么你可以做室內(nèi)粉刷、草坪修剪、管道維修，以及其他一些房屋內(nèi)外的修補(bǔ)工作。可以向同一個(gè)村子或小區(qū)的朋友、鄰居提供這些服務(wù)，他們不會(huì)或沒時(shí)間來做這些事情。你只需在接受工作之前確保裝備齊全，而且對(duì)即將要做的事情非常了解即可。

5. 你喜歡組織各類事情或是喜歡文書工作嗎?如果是，那么你非常適合在一些需要協(xié)助文員工作的小型辦公室甚至是接受在校實(shí)習(xí)生的大公司做暑期或兼職工作。誰知道呢，或許之后你就被長(zhǎng)期聘用了。

6.你喜歡用服飾來打扮自己或讓自己改頭換面，并根據(jù)流行趨勢(shì)設(shè)計(jì)不同發(fā)型嗎?如果是，那么不要認(rèn)為沒有工作適合你，當(dāng)然有。你可以制作一些如發(fā)飾或是衣服配飾類的飾品，然后將其出售。你也可以到時(shí)裝店申請(qǐng)做兼職銷售助理。顧客一定會(huì)對(duì)你提供的時(shí)尚方面的好建議表示贊同。

7. 你立志要在政府部門工作嗎?那么，從青少年時(shí)期開始努力并不是沒有可能的。有大量的政府機(jī)關(guān)你可以申請(qǐng)。政府部門也有很多青少年可以做的工作。

8. 你是不求報(bào)酬，只為獲得經(jīng)驗(yàn)而工作的人嗎?如果是，那么你可以去做志愿工作。社區(qū)工作或慈善工作是最好的。志愿去政府機(jī)構(gòu)或是私人組織工作。

對(duì)于尋求方法賺取額外收入的青少年來說，肯定有各種途徑能夠快速輕松地賺錢。只要問問你自己，看看你的周圍，你青少年時(shí)期的工作問題就解決了。最好牢記，你做事情是因?yàn)槟阆矚g這樣做，而不僅僅因?yàn)槟惚仨氝@樣做。大多數(shù)人富有而成功，那是因?yàn)樗麄兌甲鲋约鹤钕矚g和最享受的事情。
