④ have a good knowledge of表示“精通,掌握,对……很了解”,倾向于对知识的了解。

文化小贴士
职业生涯规划最早起源于1908年的美国,有“职业指导之父”之称的帕森斯针对大量年轻人失业的情况,成立了波士顿职业局,首次提出职业指导的概念。
在美国,职业生涯教育开展得非常普遍,从幼儿园开始就有职业生涯辅导。在中小学,更是有多种多样旨在扩展生涯经验和增进自我了解的职业探索活动和教育活动。而在我国,职业生涯规划还是一个比较新的概念。职业生涯规划教育也只是从大学才开始,很多的学校把职业生涯规划教育等同于就业指导,等同于找工作,其目标就是找到最适合的职业。还有很多的大学新生认为职业生涯规划离自己还很遥远,或者根本没有帮助。我们必须看到,大学生职业生涯规划越早开始越好,它是唤醒学生职业意识并促进其职业精神要素生成和发展的人生重要环节。

职位信息,就是企业发布的招聘信息。求职者在求职过程中,会对这些信息进行筛选,最终找到适合自己的职位信息。中西方求职者在寻找职位信息方面存在着差异。在中国,企业发布职位信息的传统方式是通过刊登报纸、张贴小广告或者举办各种各样的招聘会。随着社会的快速发展,信息的网络化日益显著。出现了多个招聘网,求职者开始习惯于在网上翻看职位信息,寻找工作。但是在美国,招聘网没有networking给求职者的帮助大。这是因为美国大部分企业的职位不是公开招聘的,而是通过networking。对于美国人来说,招聘网只是一种招聘信息的获取渠道,需要进行大量的筛选工作,很费时。除此之外,美国还有专门的留学生求职平台,可以获取名企的招聘信息。不同国家职位信息的发布是不一样的,在国外找工作,你需要了解职位信息的发布方式,然后再去筛选信息,方可找到适合自己的工作。
