COLLEGE students might get depressed reading the work experience requirements of job ads. But don't despair. Compared with older workers, students do have an edge in some careers, especially in the Internet-related areas. This week, 21st Century lists several of these professions to keep in mind before and after graduation.
導(dǎo)讀：每每看到招聘廣告上關(guān)于工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的要求，大學(xué)生們總?cè)滩蛔“底跃趩省e氣餒，和哪些資深職場(chǎng)人士相比，學(xué)生們?cè)谀承┬袠I(yè)占有很大優(yōu)勢(shì)，尤其是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)相關(guān)領(lǐng)域。本周，《21世紀(jì)英文報(bào)》列舉了幾大職業(yè)，無論你畢業(yè)與否，牢記這些都會(huì)讓你獲益匪淺。
Social game designer
社區(qū)游戲設(shè)計(jì)
The boom in social networking services (SNS) has meant more young people playing social games. They're not just fun, they're a good job opportunity.
社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)的流行意味著更多年輕人成為社區(qū)游戲的愛好者。這些游戲不僅是一種樂趣，更是一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的工作機(jī)會(huì)。
For example, the popular Renren.com game "Happy Farm" was developed by a group of post-80s youngsters, including COO (chief operating officer) Xu Cheng.
拿校內(nèi)網(wǎng)（現(xiàn)改名為"人人網(wǎng)"）上流行的組件“開心農(nóng)場(chǎng)”為例，該游戲是由一群80后青年研發(fā)。包括首席運(yùn)營(yíng)官（COO）徐成就是其中一員。
Young people, including university students, have advantages in the gaming industry, especially in developing mini social games mainly based on Flash technology, explains Li Xu, the website's social game development manager. "They understand the technology more easily than those who're older."
“包括大學(xué)生在內(nèi)的年輕人在游戲產(chǎn)業(yè)中占有很大優(yōu)勢(shì)，在開發(fā)Flash技術(shù)為基礎(chǔ)的迷你社區(qū)游戲上尤是如此，"網(wǎng)站社區(qū)游戲開發(fā)經(jīng)理李旭說，"在這項(xiàng)技術(shù)的了解掌握上，他們比資深職場(chǎng)人士更駕輕就熟。”
Online forum manager
論壇版主
In the Web 2.0 age, traditional media like newspaper, radio and TV have established websites to communicate online with readers. The job of forum manager is another new career opportunity for young people.
在Web 2.0時(shí)代，像報(bào)紙、廣播、電視這樣的傳統(tǒng)媒體都已經(jīng)創(chuàng)建了網(wǎng)站，與自己的受眾群進(jìn)行在線交流。對(duì)年輕人來說，論壇版主是另一個(gè)就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。
Most college students are already familiar with their campus BBS (bulletin board system), Baidu post bar and other kinds of online forums. Some are active members, or even moderators.
多數(shù)大學(xué)生早就對(duì)校園論壇（電子布告欄系統(tǒng)）、百度貼吧及其他在線論壇十分熟悉。有些人是活躍用戶，更有人甚至擔(dān)任論壇版主一職。
Crafting eye-catching headlines requires witty wording skills and a good sense of slang. Young people are often more qualified than senior news reporters and editors that may not be proficient in online skills.
在論壇發(fā)帖，一個(gè)抓人眼球的標(biāo)題往往需要詼諧的文字和對(duì)俚語(yǔ)的充分掌握。在這點(diǎn)上，年輕人通常比資深新聞?dòng)浾摺⒕庉嫺ㄟ@些互聯(lián)網(wǎng)技能。
Hotel critic
飯店評(píng)論家
Can you imagine working in your pajamas? You can forget those dull meetings with clients and business talks. All you need do is comment on a hotel and share pictures and videos on your blog.
能想象穿著睡衣工作么？徹底擺脫和客戶進(jìn)行無聊的工作會(huì)議，你所要做的就是在博客上對(duì)某家飯店進(jìn)行點(diǎn)評(píng)，和網(wǎng)友分享一些圖片和視頻內(nèi)容。
It's true. Travel search engine Qunar.com recently posted a job announcement for a "hotel-sleeper", with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. "College students from all majors are welcome. We think they all have the qualities for the job," says Zhang Ze, vice president for Qunar.
這些都是真的。不久前，中文在線旅行網(wǎng)站去哪兒網(wǎng)(Qunar.com)發(fā)布了一則招聘 “酒店試睡員”的通知，月薪萬(wàn)元。“我們歡迎任何專業(yè)的大學(xué)生前來應(yīng)聘，相信他們都能勝任這個(gè)工作。” 去哪兒網(wǎng)酒店業(yè)務(wù)副總張澤說。
Traveling around and living in hotels means you need plenty of energy and enthusiasm, and young grads always have the passion to travel, says Zhang. "Students have the curiosity to explore strange places and their special angle can find ways to have fun that aren't found in travel guides."
“四處旅游、居住酒店意味著你需要有充沛的精力，而且熱情洋溢。而年輕畢業(yè)生們往往熱衷于旅游，”張澤說，“學(xué)生們對(duì)陌生的地方擁有很強(qiáng)的探索欲，他們不種不同的視角總能挖掘出旅游手冊(cè)上所沒有的樂趣。”
To describe the experience, you need to write well. "Many grads have blogs where they share their experiences, so writing with humor and ease, and adding some pictures and interesting videos might not be so hard for them," Zhang observes.
當(dāng)然，要描述這些經(jīng)歷，扎實(shí)的文字功底是必備條件。“很多畢業(yè)生都在自己的博客上分享他們的經(jīng)歷，輕松詼諧的文字加上栩栩如生的圖片和趣味視頻對(duì)他們來說絕非難事，”張澤說。
User experience staff
用戶體驗(yàn)員
This job is just like its name implies: gathering the experiences of users and potential users, and helping improve products to ensure that they're easy and pleasurable to use. For example, MSN has user experience specialists who help improve its popular messenger's functions.
從字面上，我們便能輕易看出這份工作的內(nèi)容：收集用戶和潛在用戶的體驗(yàn)，幫助提升產(chǎn)品用戶體驗(yàn)，確保產(chǎn)品使用過程簡(jiǎn)單、令人滿意。例如：MSN就有專門的用戶體驗(yàn)專家，他們幫助提升MSN常用功能的用戶體驗(yàn)。
This might be a great place for grads, said Luo Wei, a user experience specialist at 55bbs.com, a Beijing-based website with information on shopping, food, and travel. The website has part-time and full-time positions in the user experience field for grads.
這對(duì)于畢業(yè)生來說是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的選擇，北京購(gòu)物、飲食、旅游信息平臺(tái)“我愛打折網(wǎng)”的用戶體驗(yàn)專員羅瑋說。該網(wǎng)站為畢業(yè)生提供用戶體驗(yàn)的兼職和全職職位。
For example, when people browse through a long post on our forum, they can be interrupted by numerous comments, which is very annoying, Luo says. "User experience specialists find this and report it to our technical team, who can add a 'see author only' button to a post. A lot of users say this makes surfing our website much more convenient."
“比如，用戶在論壇瀏覽篇幅較長(zhǎng)的帖子時(shí)，經(jīng)常被評(píng)論所打斷。這很容易引起用戶的不滿，”羅瑋說，“用戶體驗(yàn)專員發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)問題后報(bào)告給技術(shù)團(tuán)隊(duì)，后者就會(huì)在帖子頁(yè)面添加一項(xiàng)'只看該作者'的按鈕。很多用戶反映，有了這項(xiàng)功能，瀏覽網(wǎng)頁(yè)更方便了。”
Students have a lot of Internet experience, he says. "They know the users' habits so well that they can spot mistakes, malfunctions and bad online product designs."
“學(xué)生們擁有很多互聯(lián)網(wǎng)經(jīng)歷。”他說。“他們熟悉用戶的習(xí)慣，可以輕易辨別出錯(cuò)誤、誤操作和在線產(chǎn)品設(shè)計(jì)的好壞。”
