     When you are in a place where you are hunting for a new job or career, you will find that there are several
things needing your atten tion. Jobs and careers are fewer than you might entirely be prepared for; especially
when satisfying employment is something you need to seriously think about. How are you going to find the job
that you want and how are you going to avoid traps in your way? When you want to make the most out of your job search, take a moment and think about the things that you must avoid at all costs.
     One of the most important rules is, never to compromise on your requirements such that it will negatively
affect your life and peace of mind at a later stage. Keep in mind your basic expectations from a job. It might be
something along the lines of increased monetary pay ment or you might find that it has something to do with
benefits or time off. Whatever it is that you count as your basic requirements, make sure that you do not accept a job without it. Your requirements might be difficult to get, but you have all the rights to try and a chieve them.
     That being said, don't shy away from odd jobs that might actu ally take you to the place that you want to be
in, eventually. Some- times, finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching
and putting in a lot of efforts. And if something unexpected happens, remember that taking chances is something you might want to seriously consider. You are in a place where you are thinking about moving forward, so
don't be surprised by what route it might take to get there. As long as you keep your goals in mind, you are going to be doing much better than other people are during their job search.
     If you are looking for the right career, another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is to advertise yourself. When you do nothing to push yourself forward, you will be the one
suffering for it. If required, motivate yourself and try to look at all that you possess by way of positive traits.
Make sure that you can present your skills and abilities in the best light possi ble. If the jobs that you have set
your sights on are challenging, set targets for yourself and work towards them in a systematic and fo cused
manner. The more efforts you put into marketing yourself, the better will be your chances of obtaining the job
of your choice.
     Remember that when you are working on a job search, you should not shortchange yourself. This is because you will only hurt yourself by aiming low.

Herta Muller was born in August 1953 in the traditionally German—speaking Nabat region of Romania.

After studying literature between l 973 and l 976,Muller was fired from her first job after refusing to work for Ceausescu’s(齐奥塞斯库)secret police.It was at this time that she decided to devote her life to literature,but she refused to publish her first book Niederungen(Nadirs)in Romania because of attempts by the authorities to censor(审查)it.The manuscript,describing vividly the boring life under Ceausescu’s rule,was taken secretly into West Germany,where it was published in 1984,with Germany’s Spiegel magazine pronouncing her a “discovery”.After being refused permission to move to West Germany in l 985,she was finally allowed to leave in 1987after her sharp criticism of her native country’s rule earned her death threats from the secret police.

The Berlin International Literature Festival described her work as being focused on the non-conformist(不墨守成规者)life in the smallest unit of the dictatorial(独裁的)state,as well as observations from her childhood and village life anti family.

The novel Reisende auf einem Bein (Travelling On One Leg) describes the difficulties of settling anew in foreign surroundings. Alongside other novels about the Ceausescu rule like Herztier (Land of Green Plums) and Heute waer ich mir lidbernicht begegnet (The Appointment), she has also written a series of political essays.
