The entire job or career search can best be illustrated as a ladder. With the bottom rung as the beginning of the job or career search process, the next rung in the self-assessment process is the preparation of an effective resume, and ultimately the top rung of the ladder, or the final objective, is securing the appropriate position. The goal in each step of the process is to understand yourself and to present yourself as positively as possible, to overcome any negative aspects that would inhibit a competitive job offer, and to be ultimately successful in the interview process. All of this must be achieved using the most effective, efficient method in the shortest possible time while still facing serious and aggressive competition. The long road ahead can be made easier and can make you stand out from the crowd if the sometimes difficult and time-consuming groundwork provides your ladder with the foundation necessary to reach that top rung as a winner.
整个求职或职业探索过程可以用梯子来最好地说明。梯子的最底层是求职或职业探索过程的起点，自我评估过程的下一级是准备一份有效的简历，而梯子的最顶层，即最终目标，是获得合适的职位。这个过程中每一步的目标都是了解自己，并尽可能积极地展现自己，克服任何可能阻碍获得有竞争力的工作机会的负面因素，并最终在面试过程中取得成功。所有这些都必须在尽可能短的时间内，使用最有效、高效的方法来实现，同时还要面对激烈的竞争。如果有时困难且耗时的基础工作为你的梯子提供了成为赢家到达顶端所需的基础，那么前方漫长的道路会变得更容易，而且能让你脱颖而出。
