阅读暖身开始怀疑自己是否胜任现在的工作,或只是在工作上遇到低潮吗?在你决定转换跑道前,不妨先倾听内心真实声音,来场私密对话。进入文章前,请先想想下列英文怎么说:A.达成期望 B.低潮期 C.坚持
Over the last few weeks, a lot of powerful women have talked about the significance of knowing when to walk away from ventures that no longer feel rewarding. At the end of September, for example, we watched as Blake Lively gracefully and humbly announced the shutting down of her lifestyle site Preserve, which she ultimately didn't feel (A)lived up to its original mission of "making a difference in people's lives." Not long afterward, we learned that our favorite funny lady, Amy Schumer, walked away from a $1 million book deal because she knew she deserved more-and ultimately landed an $8 million book deal.
过去数周,不少有名望的女性公开谈论选择退场时机的重要性,以适时摆脱热情不再的「现任」。举例来说,就在2015年9月底,美国女星布蕾克‧莱芙莉低调宣布结束她的生活时尚网站Preserve,因为它无法达成她「改变人们生活」的心愿,不如选择优雅退场。就在此事不久,美国的另一位人气俏妞艾米‧舒默也拒绝一份100万美元的书约─最终她获得了800万美元的酬劳。
While we don't have Blake or Amy's cell-phone numbers, we do have the ultimate questions to ask when dealing with a similar, should-I-walk-or-should-I-stay job dilemma. Compliments of millennial career coach Ashley Stahl, if you answer "no" to two or more of these questions, Stahl says it's time to have an honest conversation with yourself and consider moving on. If you answer "no" to one (or none)? Don't walk away yet-you might just be going through a temporary (B)rough patch.
虽然无法现场连线布蕾克或艾米为我们开导,但我们精心设计的问题一样不会少,能帮助你在职业生涯进退维谷之际,再给自己一次机会,重新审视自己的内心。有千禧世代职涯导师之称的艾希莉‧施塔薾诚挚建议,待会以下6题,如果有两题以上你的回答都是「不」,那你可以认真考虑是否转换跑道了;但如果只有一题(甚至没半题)能让你说「不」呢?那先别急着辞职-因为你可能只是遇上职业生涯的低潮期。
1.Is This Experience (1)Serving Me? 这份工作经历对我是否有任何助益
What are you gaining from your current role? If the answer is "not much," it may be a sign that it's time to walk away-but not without analyzing what, if anything, you enjoyed during your time with the company. "Understanding those benefits can translate into a much better fit in your next step," said Stahl.
这份工作是否让你获益良多?如果你觉得「没什么收获」,那也许正是时候转换跑道了-但也别忘了回顾过去在公司的点点滴滴,重拾美丽的回忆。记住,要让那些美丽回忆转换成正能量,帮助你在未来的道路上,步伐更坚挺。
2.Are There More Opportunities For Growth? 我是否能从这份工作获得学习和成长的机会
This question is especially important for those who are still new to the job. Things may not feel right just yet, but remember that you're still adjusting. Think about the future of your current gig: If you can see opportunities for learning and growing, you owe it to yourself to keep exploring this new step in your career.
对于入行不久的新手而言,这更是一个值得深省的问题。......
