这是适用于软件工程师工作的最佳方法，以及确切的使用方法。 (Here are the best methods for applying to software engineer jobs — and exactly how to use them.)
When people think of applying for jobs, they often think of simply applying online.
当人们想到求职时，他们通常会想到只在网上申请。
However, it’s not always the best strategy, because that’s pretty much what everyone else does.
但是，这并不总是最好的策略，因为这几乎是其他所有人所做的。
Instead, there are four other ways to apply for jobs that are particularly effective. I’d recommend these strategies when applying to software engineering jobs, but I think they are effective for other types of jobs, as well. They are:
取而代之的是，还有其他四种申请工作特别有效的方法。 在应用到软件工程工作时，我会推荐这些策略，但我认为它们对其他类型的工作也有效。 他们是：
- Using LinkedIn 使用领英
- In-person networking 面对面的网络
- Getting referrals 获得推荐
- Career fairs / recruiting events 招聘会/招聘会
I’ve personally used a combination of these strategies to land job interviews with various tech companies, including Facebook, Yelp, and Evernote.
我亲自使用了这些策略的组合来与包括Facebook，Yelp和Evernote在内的各种科技公司进行面试。
I have also used them to get job offers from multiple software companies, including Microsoft and Google.
我还使用它们从多家软件公司(包括Microsoft和Google)获得工作机会。
In this article, I’m going to walk you through exactly how to use each of these strategies. I’m also going to give you some tips and tricks along the way.
在本文中，我将向您详细介绍如何使用这些策略。 我还将在此过程中为您提供一些提示和技巧。
但是首先……要记住一件事。 (But first… One thing to keep in mind.)
As I mentioned in my previous article about getting software engineer jobs, the best strategies are different depending on the size of the company you’re applying to.
正如我在上一篇有关获得软件工程师职位的文章中所提到的那样，最佳策略因要申请的公司规模而异。
If you’re applying to a small to medium-sized company, I’d recommend focusing on LinkedIn and in-person networking.
如果您要申请中小型公司，建议您重点关注LinkedIn和面对面的人际网络 。
On the other hand, if you’re applying to larger, more popular companies such as Google and Facebook, using referrals and career fairs on top of simply applying online is more effective.
另一方面，如果您要申请更大，更受欢迎的公司(例如Google和Facebook)，则在仅在线申请的基础上使用推荐和职业介绍会更为有效。
Now, with that in mind, let’s go through all four strategies.
现在，考虑到这一点，让我们研究所有四种策略。
1.领英 (1. LinkedIn)
In my opinion, using LinkedIn is the best way to apply for software engineer jobs at small to medium-sized companies.
我认为，使用LinkedIn是在中小型公司申请软件工程师职位的最佳方法。
Here’s how I would use it.
这是我将如何使用它。
步骤1：找到工作空缺 (Step 1: Find a job opening)
First, find a job opening you are interested in on the company’s website or by using websites like Indeed and LinkedIn.
首先，在公司的网站上或使用Indeed和LinkedIn等网站找到您感兴趣的职位空缺。
Use keywords like “software engineer” with the location you want to work in on Indeed and LinkedIn.
在您要在Indeed和LinkedIn上工作的位置使用“软件工程师”之类的关键字。
Using this strategy, suppose you’ve found at least one job opening that you’re interested in.
使用这种策略，假设您找到了至少一个感兴趣的职位空缺。
Let’s say you’re interested in this software engineer job at Palantir.
假设您对Palantir的此软件工程师职位感兴趣。
步骤2：寻找招聘者 (Step 2: Find recruiters)
Then, instead of simply applying online, I would first find recruiters at this company. You can do this fairly easily on LinkedIn. Just search for keywords like “recruiter <company name>”.
然后，我将首先在这家公司找到招聘人员，而不是简单地在线申请。 您可以在LinkedIn上轻松完成此操作。 只需搜索“招聘者<公司名称>”之类的关键字。
Ideally, you should be able to find 6–10 recruiters from this company.
理想情况下，您应该能够找到该公司的6-10名招聘人员。
If the company is tiny (<10 people or so), you might want to target non-recruiters as well. Try engineers, the CTO, and even the CEO if you’re applying to a tiny company.
如果公司规模很小(少于10名员工)，那么您可能还希望定位非招聘人员。 如果您要申请一家小型公司，请尝试工程师，CTO甚至CEO。
步骤3：在LinkedIn上添加招聘者 (Step 3: Add the recruiters on LinkedIn)
The next step is to either send connection requests to the recruiters you’ve found on LinkedIn, or message them there.
下一步是将连接请求发送到您在LinkedIn上找到的招聘人员，或在其中发送消息。
Adding them is easier, and it’s free. However, LinkedIn might stop you from adding people if you add too many people in a short period of time. At that point, you might need to switch to LinkedIn messaging, which might cost a little bit of money.
添加它们更容易，而且是免费的。 但是，如果您在短时间内添加太多人，LinkedIn可能会阻止您添加人。 那时，您可能需要切换到LinkedIn消息传递，这可能会花费一些钱。
Anyway, once you find 6–10 recruiters from the company you’re interested in, I would just send all of them connection requests at the same time. I wouldn’t add any custom message here to make this process as easy as possible.
无论如何，一旦您找到感兴趣的公司的6-10名招聘人员，我将同时发送所有他们的联系请求。 我不会在此处添加任何自定义消息来简化此过程。
If you send 6–10 connection requests, about 2–5 of them should accept your requests within a week or so.
如果您发送6-10个连接请求，则大约2-5个请求应在一周左右的时间内接受您的请求。
步骤4：发送自定义消息 (Step 4: Send a custom message)
After the previous step, suppose 2–5 people accepted your connection requests. This is a good sign, because this means that they use LinkedIn at least somewhat actively.
在上一步之后，假设2–5个人接受了您的连接请求。 这是一个好兆头，因为这意味着他们至少在某种程度上积极使用LinkedIn。
Then, send them a message like the following:
然后，向他们发送如下消息：
Hi <first name>,
您好<名字>，
Thank you for accepting my connection request.
感谢您接受我的连接请求。
I’m thinking of applying to this position I found on your website: <URL>
我正在考虑申请在您的网站上找到的该职位：<URL>
I’m about to graduate from a 6-month coding bootcamp program that covers full-stack development in JavaScript.
我将要学习一个为期6个月的编码训练营计划，该计划涵盖JavaScript的全栈开发。
I was wondering, would I be qualified enough for this position? If not, is there anything I can do to better prepare myself?
我想知道，我是否足够胜任这个职位？ 如果没有，我能做些什么来更好地做好自我准备？
Regards,
问候，
In this example message, you are asking about the following two points:
在此示例消息中，您要询问以下两点：
- Am I qualified for this position? 我有资格担任这个职位吗？
- If I’m not qualified yet, what should I do? 如果我还没有资格，该怎么办？
By asking these questions, you’ll have a better idea about where you stand in the job market, as well as what you can do to improve your position.
通过提出这些问题，您可以更好地了解自己在就业市场中的地位以及可以做些什么来改善自己的职位。
At the same time, this is a good way to start building connections with key people in the industry.
同时，这是开始与业内关键人员建立联系的好方法。
Of course, customize this message so that it better fits your particular situation and your voice.
当然，请自定义此消息，以使其更适合您的特定情况和声音。
第5步：发送后续消息 (Step 5: Send a follow-up message)
Once you send this message to the 2–5 people who added you back on LinkedIn, you should be able to receive 1–2 replies.
将邮件发送给在LinkedIn上添加了您的2–5个人之后，您应该可以收到1-2答复。
If they say you’re qualified enough, then it’s great. Apply for this position online. Then, if you don’t hear back from them in two weeks, send them a message like this:
如果他们说您足够合格，那就太好了。 在线申请此职位。 然后，如果您两周后都没有收到他们的回音，请向他们发送如下消息：
Hi <first name>,
您好<名字>，
As you suggested, I applied to the <position name> position about two weeks ago.
正如您所建议的，大约两周前，我申请了<position name>职位。
I was just wondering what the status of my application might be?
我只是想知道我的应用程序的状态可能是什么？
Regards,
问候，
After the initial message, if they say you’re not qualified, that’s fine, too. Ask them what you can do to better prepare yourself if you haven’t yet. Then, if you’d like, follow their recommendation to increase your chances next time.
发出初始消息后，如果他们说您不合格，也可以。 询问他们如何做才能更好地做好准备。 然后，如果您愿意，请遵循他们的建议，以增加下次的机会。
If you follow their recommendation, you can message them in a few months again and let them know about the progress you’ve made. Then, ask them again if you’re qualified enough.
如果您遵循他们的建议，则可以在几个月后再次向他们发送消息，并让他们知道您所取得的进展。 然后，再次询问他们您是否具备足够的资格。
After all of these steps, chances are, you’ll be able to start getting job interviews. If not, at least you should be able to start building meaningful connections and get better ideas about what skills to work on.
完成所有这些步骤后，您将可以开始进行工作面试。 如果没有，那么至少您应该能够开始建立有意义的联系并获得有关要使用的技能的更好的想法。
回顾 (Recap)
Here’s my 5-step strategy for getting a job interview through LinkedIn.
这是我通过领英进行求职面试的五步策略。
- Step 1: Find a job opening 步骤1：找到工作空缺
- Step 2: Find recruiters 步骤2：寻找招聘者
- Step 3: Add the recruiters on LinkedIn 步骤3：在LinkedIn上添加招聘者
- Step 4: Send a custom message 步骤4：发送自定义消息
- Step 5: Send a follow-up message 第5步：发送后续消息
I like to think of these steps like a sales funnel. You start with 6–10 recruiters at each company. Then, only 2–5 of them will accept your connection requests. Out of those people, only 0–2 of them will reply to your message.
我喜欢将这些步骤视为销售渠道。 您从每家公司的6-10名招聘人员开始。 然后，其中只有2–5个会接受您的连接请求。 在这些人中，只有0–2会回复您的消息。
Note that you can follow this strategy for multiple companies at the same time.
请注意，您可以同时对多家公司采用此策略。
So, for Step 1 (find a job opening), you should find 5–6 positions at the same time. If you follow the rest of the steps simultaneously for all 5–6 positions, you should be able to get at least one good lead.
因此，对于第1步(查找职位空缺)，您应该同时找到5–6个职位。 如果您同时在所有5-6个职位上执行其余步骤，则应该至少能够获得一个好的线索。
Then, just repeat Step 1 (find a job opening) through Step 5 (a follow-up message). Meanwhile, keep increasing your programming skills by building interesting projects on the side.
然后，只需重复步骤1(找到职位空缺)到步骤5(后续消息)即可。 同时，通过在侧面构建有趣的项目来不断提高您的编程技能。
2.面对面的交流 (2. In-person networking)
In-person networking is also very effective for getting a job, particularly for small to medium-sized companies.
面对面的网络对于找到工作也非常有效，特别是对于中小型公司。
For this, use your interests as a guide.
为此，请以您的兴趣为指导。
For example, let’s say you like iOS development. Then, look for iOS-related events near you on services like Meetup.com and Facebook Events.
例如，假设您喜欢iOS开发。 然后，在Meetup.com和Facebook Events等服务上查找您附近的iOS相关事件。
You can just search for terms like iOS, mobile development, and React Native on those sites.
您可以在这些站点上搜索诸如iOS ， 移动开发和React Native之类的术语。
Then, go to one of the events near you.
然后，转到附近的活动之一。
Once you’re at one of the events, your focus should be learning as much as possible. If there’s a presentation there, see if you can learn anything from it. If there are people in the industry there, see if you can learn anything from them.
参加其中一项活动后，您的重点应该是尽可能多地学习。 如果那里有一个演示文稿，请看您是否可以从中学习到任何东西。 如果那里有业内人士，请看您是否可以从他们那里学到任何东西。
Also, make sure to talk to people individually. If you are not sure what to say at one of these events, you can use something like the following:
另外，请确保与每个人交谈。 如果不确定在这些事件之一中该说些什么，可以使用类似以下的内容：
First, wave at someone who’s not talking to anyone else to get their attention. Then, say:
首先，向不与他人交谈以吸引他们注意力的人挥手。 然后说：
Hi! How are you?
嗨！ 你好吗？
- Good, how are you?
- 我很好，你呢？
Then, use your curiosity as a guide for making conversation. If you don’t feel comfortable with the person you started talking to, just find someone else.
然后，根据您的好奇心进行交谈。 如果您对与之交谈的人不满意，那就找其他人吧。
At some point, they’ll probably ask you something like, “What brings you here?”
在某个时候，他们可能会问您诸如“什么让您来到这里？”
At that point, you can explain that you’re there to learn more about the industry/technology, and that you’re also looking for a job.
到那时，您可以解释说您是在这里了解有关行业/技术的更多信息，并且您还在寻找工作。
If they know about local opportunities, chances are, they’ll tell you about it.
如果他们知道当地的机会，机会就会告诉你。
My piece of advice here is to not just ask for help, but also to offer help when you can. For example, volunteering for local organizations is a great way to get to know people in the industry in your area.
我在这里的建议不仅是寻求帮助，还应尽可能提供帮助。 例如，为当地组织提供志愿服务是了解您所在地区的业内人士的好方法。
3.获得推荐 (3. Getting referrals)
Getting referred by your friends is also a great way to land job interviews, whether you’re applying to small companies or large companies.
无论您是申请小型公司还是大型公司，得到朋友的推荐都是获得工作面试的好方法。
If you have friends who work at one of the companies you want to work at, that’s great. See if they can refer you there.
如果您有要在其中一家公司工作的朋友，那就太好了。 看看他们能否在那儿转介您。
If not, there’s still a chance to use this strategy.
如果没有，那么仍然有机会使用此策略。
There’s an interesting story about this in Rejection Proof, a book about overcoming the fear of being rejected.
关于拒绝证明，这是一本关于克服被拒绝恐惧的书的有趣故事。
In it, the author’s wife tries different strategies to get a job at Google.
在其中，作者的妻子尝试了不同的策略来在Google工作。
One of the most effective strategies she tries is using LinkedIn to build connections. Through LinkedIn, she asks for help from a number of people who work at Google. Some of them are so impressed by her initiative, they end up referring her to the company. Eventually, that’s how she gets the job.
她尝试的最有效策略之一是使用LinkedIn建立联系。 她通过LinkedIn向许多在Google工作的人寻求帮助。 他们中的一些人对她的主动性印象深刻，最终将她引荐给公司。 最终，这就是她得到这份工作的方式。
Now, if you feel like you’re up for it, I’d suggest that you try the same strategy.
现在，如果您觉得自己愿意，那么建议您尝试相同的策略。
First, find key people in your industry — for example, software engineers at companies you want to work for.
首先，找到您所在行业的关键人物-例如，您要工作的公司的软件工程师。
Then, use a similar strategy as the one I mentioned earlier in the LinkedIn section. First, add them on LinkedIn. Then, send custom messages to the people who add you back.
然后，使用与我在LinkedIn部分中前面提到的策略类似的策略。 首先，将它们添加到LinkedIn。 然后，将自定义消息发送给添加您的人。
You might want to send them a message like this:
您可能想向他们发送如下消息：
Hi <first name>,
您好<名字>，
Thank you for accepting my connection request.
感谢您接受我的连接请求。
I’m in the process of preparing myself for a software engineer position at <company name>.
我正在为自己在<公司名称>的软件工程师职位做准备。
I feel like you’ve been in a similar position as myself since you also went to a JavaScript-based coding bootcamp.
自从您还参加了基于JavaScript的编码训练营以来，我觉得您和我的处境相似。
Could you maybe tell me a little bit about how you prepared yourself for your position after graduating?
你能告诉我一些关于你毕业后如何为自己的职位做准备吗？
Please don’t worry about replying if you’re busy. Either way, thank you for reading this message!
如果您很忙，请不要担心会回复。 无论哪种方式，谢谢您阅读此消息！
Regards,
问候，
A few things to note here:
这里需要注意的几件事：
- If you are targeting a large, popular company, I would contact non-recruiters. Recruiters at large popular companies usually don’t reply, probably just because they get too many messages on LinkedIn. 如果您的目标是大型，受欢迎的公司，我会与非招聘人员联系。 大型热门公司的招聘人员通常不会回复，可能仅是因为他们在LinkedIn上收到的消息太多。
- In my message above, there’s quite a bit of customization — for example, “I saw that you also went to a JavaScript-based coding bootcamp.” This will let them feel like you care about them, too. 在上面的消息中，有很多自定义功能，例如，“我看到您还参加了基于JavaScript的编码训练营。” 这会让他们觉得您也很在乎他们。
- You should ask a specific question instead of just asking them to “pick their brain.” 您应该提出一个具体的问题，而不仅仅是问他们“挑剔他们的大脑”。
- At the end of a message like this, I like saying something like, “Please don’t worry about responding if you’re busy.” This will make them feel more at ease about this message. This is especially important if you’re contacting non-recruiters, since replying to your message is not part of their job. 在这样的消息末尾，我喜欢说些类似的话：“如果您很忙，请不要担心会做出响应。” 这将使他们对此消息更加放心。 如果您要与非招聘人员联系，这一点尤其重要，因为回复您的消息不是他们的工作。
Once you make the initial contact that way, ask for one more piece of advice. Thank them for their advice, follow it, and follow up again in a few months.
通过这种方式进行初次联系后，请再提出一条建议。 感谢他们的建议，请遵循它，并在几个月后再次跟进。
Then, show the progress you’ve made based on their advice. Eventually, if you feel like you’ve made a solid enough connection, ask for a referral.
然后，根据他们的建议显示您的进度。 最终，如果您觉得自己建立了足够牢固的联系，请寻求推荐。
4.招聘会/招聘会 (4. Career fairs / recruiting events)
Using career fairs / recruiting events at universities near you is also an effective strategy, both for small and large companies.
对于大型和小型公司而言，在附近的大学中使用职业展览会/招聘活动也是一种有效的策略。
Even if you don’t currently go to a university, you can still attend one of these. Sometimes they’re held at public places.
即使您目前不上大学，也可以参加其中的一所。 有时他们被关在公共场所。
Also, if you find one that’s held at a university where you’re not a student, you can still try going.
另外，如果您发现一所不是学生的大学就读，您仍然可以尝试。
Often times, these events don’t check for student ID’s. So, just try going to the event, and talk to the companies there. Then, explain to them that you’re not a student but that you’re still looking for a job.
通常，这些事件不会检查学生证。 因此，只需尝试去参加活动，并与那里的公司交谈。 然后，向他们解释您不是学生，但您仍在寻找工作。
If you’re new to these events, you might not be sure what to say exactly. If that’s the case, here’s a script you can use:
如果您不熟悉这些事件，则可能不确定确切说些什么。 如果是这样，可以使用以下脚本：
Hi! Do you have any open positions for entry-level software engineers?
嗨！ 您有入门级软件工程师的空缺职位吗？
- Yes. We have this and this positions.
-是的 我们有这个职位。
Hmm, I would like to apply for this position, but I’m not sure if I’m qualified enough... Could you maybe take a look at my resume?
嗯，我想申请这个职位，但是我不确定我是否有足够的资格...你能看看我的简历吗？
- Sure. Okay, I think you might be qualified. Let me pass this to our recruiter.
好的 好吧，我认为您可能有资格。 让我将此传递给我们的招聘人员。
If you don’t know anything about the company you want to talk to, you can just say the following at the beginning:
如果您对要与之交谈的公司一无所知，则可以在开始时说以下话：
Hi! I was just wondering, could you explain what your company does?
嗨！ 我只是想知道，您能解释一下您的公司做什么吗？
Your goal at one of these events should be to give out at least 7–15 copies of your resume. Bring 20 copies just to be safe.
您在其中一项活动中的目标应该是分发至少7–15份简历。 为了安全起见，请携带20份副本。
Then, talk to one company after another without spending too much time on any one of them. If you give copies of your resume to 15 companies, you should be able to get at least 2–3 interviews as long as you have a solid programming foundation.
然后，与另一家公司交谈，而不必花费太多时间在任何一家公司上。 如果您将简历的副本提供给15家公司，只要您有扎实的编程基础，就应该至少能获得2-3次面试。
By the way, if you need some advice on how to prepare your resume, I have an article about it here.
顺便说一句，如果您需要一些有关如何准备简历的建议，请在此处阅读有关它的文章。
