　　The worst time to look for a job is when you must have a new one immediately.Job searching under pressure often results in nervous interviewing and decision­making from relatively few options.If you are not in need of an immediate career change，here are ways you can improve your long­term career prospects(前景) today：

　　Identify at least two different roles.You do not have to be qualified for these positions today，nor do they have to exist in your company.However，these roles should be related to your current skill set.They are career options that look interesting.Once you have a couple of targets，think about what interests you and why it interests you.Pay close attention to what appeals to you，and write it down.This will give insight into your motivations and targets.

　　Subscribe to a career specific magazine.Knowledge is power in the workplace.All business must stay relevant to their customers in order to win the competitions and increase revenue(收益).Reading about industry trends，advancements and success stories keeps you in touch with market conditions.This information allows you to see which companies and professionals are leading the peak.You can follow their examples in your own workplace.If you associate with those that stand out from the rest，you are likely to find yourself with better opportunities.

　　Do exceptional work.In any role，there is a way to perform at your best.Look for ways to deliver a top performance.Show up early，be flexible to new assignments，have a positive attitude，cooperate with other departments，and pay attention to the little details.

　　Be professionally curious.Talk to people about their careers.Learn more about how success is measured in other roles，departments and companies.Ask people their thoughts on different industries.Challenge yourself to expand your business knowledge through interactions with people at regular time.People hire people.You never know what connections may be relevant when you start your next job search，so develop a habit of making good connections no matter where you go.Take the time to learn about others，and be helpful when you can.

　　As in all things in life，getting in front of a difficult task early is always less stressful than reacting to a career surprise.Changing jobs is to be expected.No matter how secure you feel today，the time will come when either you or your employer decides it is time to change.
