Question

People can find jobs in many ways. Sometimes you can find a job easily, by walking into a local store and looking at its notice board(布告栏). Local stores often have areas for people to put small signs telling the services that they need or they can provide.  Such services include looking after children or cleaning houses.

     Another popular tool for finding a job is the Internet. For example, people around the world can

 use the Craigslist Web site to buy things, meet people or find a job. It is said that the site can receive two million new jobs each month.

     Another useful way to find a job is through a university. For example, students at the University

of Texas can go to the job center to get help. Many college students like this way better.

     At times, some experts(专业人士)can also help people find a job. Susan Miller has her own company called California Job Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find a job by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods to help them find the right job. So with her help, many people have succeeded in finding a good job.
