　　以下是预计到2018年间工作机会减少得最多的十大行业，以及如果你目前正处于这个行业该如何努力：

　　1. Department stores: Projected to lose 10.2 percent of the 1.56 million jobs they had in 2008.

　　百货商店：2008年有156万份工作，预计到2018年将会缩减10.2%。

　　"People are doing their shopping online," Levit said. To survive, stores need to offer value beyond the products they sell, such as special events or superiorcustomer service. To increase the chances that you'll keep your own job, you need to "be on the innovationtrain."

　　Levit说："人们都开始网购。"为了生存，商店需要提供销售的产品外的优惠，比如特价活动或一流的客户服务。为了增加你保住自己工作的机会，你需要"不断创新"。

　　"You need to be front and center with management, giving them suggestions for how they can remain competitive," she said。

　　她说："你需要在管理的前沿和中心，为百货商店献计使他们保持竞争优势。"

半导体制造业

　　2. Semiconductormanufacturing: Projected to lose 33.7 percent of the 432,000 jobs it had in 2008.

　　半导体制造业：2008年有4.32万份工作，预计到2018年将会缩减33.7%。

　　Semiconductors are one of several manufacturing industries on the declining list. Because so many different types of manufacturing jobs are disappearing, it will not be easy to simply get another manufacturing job. You may need to develop some completely new skills。

　　半导体是众多正在下滑的制造业之一。因为很多不同类型的制作业工作正在消失，而且想要重新找到一份制造业的工作并不简单。你可能需要学习一些全新的技能。

　　Levit suggests beefing up your resume with volunteer work so you can show skills that will be applicable in other industries. For example, helping a volunteer organization deal with its members can show that you have client-service skills。

　　Levit建议可以用志愿者工作来武装你的简历，这样你可以显示你所掌握的技巧在其他行业也可以用到。比如，在一个志愿者协会里帮助他人可以显示你有较强的客户沟通技巧。
