What advice do we have for new grads now, or for anyone who wants to succeed at a big company?

对于应届生或是那些希望在大公司取得成功的人，有些什么建议？

First, you have to outwork everyone else. If you don't, talent will not help you. In this difficult job market, new grads may even have to work for free for a little while, in order to get a foot in the door. Find somewhere you really want to work and prove yourself by working hard and doing a great job, and I guarantee you that they will find a way to hire you and pay you.

首先，你需要比其他任何人都做得更好。如果你不那么做，你的天赋就派不上用处。在当前这个求职难的市场上，应届生甚至需要接受一段时间的免费工作，从而跨出职业生涯的第一步。你需要找一个你确实希望工作的地方，通过勤奋的工作和出色的表现来证明自己。我保证这样雇主一定会愿意聘任你，付你薪水。

I would also recommend reading a lot. Read everything you can get your hands on, because you'll always learn something you can use. One thing that helped me early on was a little book called It's Not How Good You Are, It's How Good You Want to Be [by British ad man Paul Arden]. It's really for salespeople, but you can apply a lot of the wisdom in it to yourself. I still pick it up and read it now and then.

我同时也建议要多读书。读任何你能够获得的东西，因为你总能学到你用的上的知识。曾经有一本小书给了我很大的帮助，它叫《你有多出色并不重要，重要的是你希望变得多出色》（英国广告人保罗·埃尔登著）。这本书其实是写给销售员的，但我们都能从中学多一些智慧。到现在我还是会偶尔翻阅它。
