@Carly Ruskowski :作为一名50岁以上的员工,我发现现在想换工作比过去十年都难。虽然有四分之一的像我一样的年长员工计划今年换工作,但令人担忧的是,我们中的大多数人并没有为这个转变做好充分的准备。许多人可能已经十几年没有换过工作了,对现在的求职环境感到陌生。我建议大家应该提前更新自己的技能,了解最新的行业趋势,并积极准备面试,这样才能在竞争激烈的就业市场中脱颖而出。 @Peter Capelli :我个人认为,在当今的求职环境中,建立和利用人脉关系至关重要。相比于通过在线招聘网站海投简历,我更倾向于建议大家尝试直接写信给潜在的雇主,或者通过朋友、前同事等建立联系。通过人脉关系,我可以更容易地绕过那些自动化筛选系统,直接与决策者沟通,从而增加获得面试和工作的机会。我相信,人际网络在职业发展中起着不可替代的作用。

Later, our BBC colleagues gain rare access to the facility of a company said to make the world's most advanced microchips.
