For example, we could keep dreams and open new possibility, instead of being an unrealistic and rigid.
In additional, how can we find out the job in the market while there are full of several of resource and information? We usually use some website in the internet to do research. There are also many websites for the jobs, such as occupation outlook of handwork, career info net, business week, and career journal. What is more, we could make research through the newspapers and industry journal.
