7. Notarizing
7、公證人資格
Becoming a certified notary public is a lot easier than most people think. Depending on state regulations, there is an exam followed by and an oath. Requirements include a clean record and being a legal resident of the state in which you are seeking certification.
成為一個認(rèn)證的公證人比大部分人想的要容易許多。依據(jù)州法規(guī)，只需要在申請后進(jìn)行一次考試和一次宣誓。要求包括無犯罪記錄并且在你申請認(rèn)證的州是守法公民。
8. Scuba Diving
8、深潛
It isn't likely that scuba diving will be tied directly to your prospective field, but it's important to develop your interests as well as take steps to achieve your professional goals.
潛水并不是直接與你潛在的職業(yè)相關(guān)，但發(fā)展興趣和逐步實現(xiàn)職業(yè)目標(biāo)一樣重要。
It takes less than six months to learn how to scuba dive, and it shows that you're not only naturally curious but you also understand the importance of following regulations and safety codes. You can also learn to cook or earn a pilot's license in six months, all of which have benefits and lessons you can bring to an office or other professional setting.
學(xué)會潛水花不用超過6個月，并且它顯示你不僅天生地好奇，而且也明白遵守法規(guī)和安全準(zhǔn)則的重要性。在6個月時間內(nèi)，你也能學(xué)會做飯或者獲得一個引水員證書，這些都是你可帶到辦公室或者其他專業(yè)場所的經(jīng)驗和教訓(xùn)。
9. Public Speaking
9、公開演講
There's nothing quite as useful as being able to speak with confidence and poise to a room full of people, getting your point across in the most effective and persuasive way possible.
沒有什么能像沉穩(wěn)自信地面對一屋子人演講、用最高效和有說服力的方式使人抓住重點那么有用處。
Public speaking is a crucial skill to develop, especially in a field where you need to present information or communicate with others frequently. There are typically classes at local colleges or other learning institutions, but you can also attend Toastmasters meetings to become more eloquent while working on leadership skills.
公開演講是一項需要學(xué)習(xí)的關(guān)鍵技能，特別是在需要陳述信息或者經(jīng)常與其他人交流的行業(yè)。在本地大學(xué)或者其他學(xué)習(xí)機構(gòu)有許多典型課程，但在學(xué)習(xí)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)技巧上，你也可以參加Toastmasters的會議以變得更有口才。
10. Foreign Language Basics
10、外語基礎(chǔ)
Maybe you still remember a little Spanish or French from high school or college. Perhaps you picked up German or Italian from big dinners with your relatives all these years. Or maybe you just have a passion for Japanese or Korean media and have learned some basic phrases. If you have an interest in a foreign language, you can increase your linguistic prowess in a matter of months.
可能你還記得高中或大學(xué)學(xué)的一點西班牙語或者法語。可能這些年在與親戚們大聚餐時你學(xué)會了一些德語或者意大利語。抑或者你對日本語或者韓語媒體感興趣并學(xué)會了一些基本詞組。如果對外語有興趣，你可以在數(shù)月內(nèi)增加語言造詣。
Improving your language skills to get up to a working proficiency can really help pump up your resume. If you have no background in other languages, consider taking sign language classes. Even though some countries have region-specific sign languages (American and British sign languages are different, despite both intended for English), it opens up the possibility to communicate with even more people.
提高語言運用能力到精通的程度可使你的簡歷脫穎而出。如果沒有其他語言背景，你可考慮參加手語班。即使有些國家有區(qū)域特定手語（美國和英國雖然都是英語，但手語不同），它使你與更多人交流成為可能。
Not all languages are used for communicating person to person — there are various programming languages that you can learn. If your field is mainly online, it's good to start with HTML. There are code-specific classes you can take, and there are great online lessons on sites such as Codecademy. If this is your first coding experience, note that it may take a little longer than six months to understand it fully.
不是所有的語言都用作人與人之間的交流，你也可以學(xué)習(xí)許多其他程序語言。如果你的行業(yè)主要是在網(wǎng)上在線，最好從HTML語言開始。有許多特定代碼班你可以參加，也有許多譬如Codecademy比較棒的在線課程。如果這是你的第一次編碼經(jīng)歷，注意，你可能需要花6個月以上才能全面地理解。
