When you are fired from a job, one of the first things you may wonder is how you will get another job. Although being fired does make it slightly more difficult to convince a new employer to hire you，there are some key ways you can decrease the negative impact.Instructions：1. Cool off. Chances are that you're angry about being fired. If you jump right into job hunting, you risk entering an interview with a negative attitude or making a bad remark about your former employer, neither of which will win you any points. Instead, take a few days to relax before beginning your search.2. Strengthen your resume. An updated resume that focuses on your accomplishments is necessary when beginning a new job search.Focus on how your actions at recent jobs have helped improve productivity or efficiency.3．Network with former colleagues. By obtaining an interview through a connection with someone who knows you personally, you give yourself an advantage. Your skills and work ethic (理念) may not be questioned as thoroughly as they would be when applying for a job where no one knows you.4. Provide good references who can validate your ability to do the job you are interviewing for. Having a list of former leaders or colleagues who are willing to prove for you helps offset (抵消) the negative feelings a potential employer may have when he sees you were fired.5．Volunteer the information about your end during the job interview. Being up front and honest about the situation, without going into too much detail, shows the interviewer that you are willing to address a negative situation openly.6．Maintain a positive attitude.Even though being fired isn't the best situation in which to look for a new job, having a pleasant personality and staying confident about your abilities can help you overcome this hurdle.1．What might being fired lead to according to the passage?A．The new boss will show pity on you.B．The former boss will say sorry to you.C．The new boss will show less trust in you.D．The new boss will not accept you at all.2．The job seekers' resumes should focus on________.A．actions at recent jobsB．expectations from the new companyC．teamwork with former colleaguesD．the skills and work ethic3．The underlined word “validate” in Instruction 4 refers to________.A．give confidence to B．give proof toC．give help to D．give advice toB(2012·潍坊期末考试) When Boris left school，he could not find a job.
