Mike： I felt the same when I hunted for a job before. The first thing you should do is to know what you’re good at and put it into words1.
Sally： What do you mean
Mike： Actually， many of us are not naturally proficient at talking or writing about ourselves， so you have to brush up on the techniques. But do look objectively at yourself.
Sally： And after knowing myself， I may decide which job suits me.
Mike： Right！ Once you’ve worked out why you’re a good match for a job， it will be eaiser to make convincing applications.
Sally： Then what should I do
Mike： Target the right employers， and reduce the chance of repeated rejection.
Sally： I hate being rejected. It will make me unconfident.
Mike： With any hunt there’s always the possibility of disappointment， but don’t let that turn into defeat. From every pursuit that doesn’t bring the result you want， there’s something to be learned.
Sally： Thank you very much. You’ve been very helpful.
