每天必做的十件事(双语)
Like the old saying, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life," it's never a bad time to start moving your career in a better direction.
就像谚语中说的那样“每一天都是余生的第一天”。好的职场规划是必需的。
1. Pay Attention in Class 投入精力
Treat every workday like a school day. Be sure you learn something and use it to make yourself more productive. It doesn't have to relate to your skills set. It may be as simple as understanding how to work with specific peers or emotional intelligence. Take mental notes. Don't sleepwalk through the day.
将每一个工作日都当成一个学习日。每一天你都需要吸收新的东西,让你自己更有竞争力,不一定都得是硬本领,也可以是与同事相处,控制自己的情绪等等。不要浪费时间。
2. Look for the Next Rung 找升职的机会
You need to excel at your job. This is how you gain credibility. But understanding your next step is key to career happiness. Career pathing is critical to remaining engaged on the job. Schedule discussions with your manager to get clarity on the next challenge. If you don't get it on your team or in your company, it may be time to look elsewhere.
你需要将自己的工作做的很优秀,这样你就可以活得信任,但是记住升职是你工作中真正需要的。这样你才有可能进一步在自己的职业道路上发展,抑或者是你并不适合自己的领域。
3. Understand Company Goals 清楚公司的发展方向
Make sure you understand how your job contributes to your company's business objectives. Are you in a revenue generating role? A brand-awareness role? Is your mission to delight the customer? Knowing how your job fi ts into the big picture will give you inspiration and a sense of accomplishment — and will help you understand your job's impact.
弄清楚你现在所做的工作在你的公司中出于怎样的地位,你是否让公司增值了?还是与客户打交道?
4. Be Ethical 诚实可靠
Bring integrity to your job. Whether you're running the company or cleaning its bathrooms, be honest in all you do. Don't call in sick just to get a day off — that's stealing. Put in an honest day's work. Be accountable. If you're working remotely, be sure you are. Do what you say you're going to do. Honesty and reliability mean a lot to your manager.
全身心投入自己的工作,不论你是公司的经营者,或者只是一个清洁工作者,务必做好你自己的工作,不要谎称生病,诚实面对自己,面对你的工作。
5. Stay Fit 注意身体
Try to break a sweat for 20 minutes, three days a week. Go for a walk at lunch. Join a gym. Lift weights. A healthy body makes a healthy mind. Exercising increases blood flow to the brain and gives you ideas. You'll be more productive at work, and best of all, you'll feel better.
每天花20分钟锻炼,或者在午餐时间走走,最好办一张健身卡,锻炼可以加速你的血液循环,让你更好地投入自己的工作。
6. Stretch Your Role 关注自己分外的事
Occasionally think how you can go above and beyond. Are there projects outside your defined role you could help with? Be proactive; ask to join. Come up with your own ideas, and work with your manager to implement them. If you're a hamster, step off the wheel and poke your head out of the cage. Stretch a little. This won't go unnoticed.
偶尔想想自己除了现在的事,还可以做些什么,是不是有些不是你岗内的事,要有提前意识,积极争取。
7. Manage Up 和上司保持一致
Make sure you and your manager are in firm agreement on what you're doing. Be proactive and get on his calendar to ensure you're meeting or exceeding expectations. Don't assume he's paying close attention. There are bad managers. If there's a disconnect between what you're doing and what your manager wants, you're partly to blame. Don't wait until review time.
要确保自己和管理者在你的工作上达成了一致,知道他心里的最后期限,最好能提前完成他的要求。如果你做的和你的上司想的不一样,你很可能被批评。
8. Manage Across 和同事保持一致
Even if you work primarily alone, be sure to make time to understand your peers' roles and how they go about their jobs. Show an interest. Don't just choose a few friends and become part of a clique. High school is over. You never know when you may need people — or be reporting to them.
就算是一个你一人承担的工作,弄清楚其他同事的角色,他们都在做些什么。
9. Communicate 交流
Don't leave people waiting for answers. If you're in an e-mail environment, return e-mails promptly. Let people know what you're doing. If you're working on a project, always ask yourself who needs to know about it, then tell them. Talk to people; give them a heads up. And when someone helps you out, be sure to thank him. It's amazing this even needs to be on a list, but bad communicators abound. Don't be one of them.
不要让别人等着你的答案。如果你可以发电子邮件,及时地回封电子邮件。让别人知道你在做什么。
10. Make Time for Play 劳逸结合
Have fun. Work hard, but smile while you're doing it. No one likes a grump. Approach each day with a positive spirit and stay loose. Enjoy your family and friends as well. Make time for them — and you. It's called work/life balance. All work and no play makes life a chore.
快乐工作,辛勤工作的同事不要忘记微笑。没人喜欢脾气暴躁的人。
