如何瞞著你的上司悄悄找工作

How to Tap Your Network Without Tipping off Your Boss

怎樣在不讓你上司知道的情況下建立你的交際網(wǎng)

Even if you have a job, you may be in the market for another one.

即使你現(xiàn)在有一份工作，你也可能會(huì)去市場(chǎng)上找另外一份工作。

Your current employer may be in direstraits, or you may simply be seeking new challenges. But in a challenging economy, there are a lot of eager professionals gunning for any position -- including your present one. And because most employment is at-will, you may be fired for looking for a new job.

你當(dāng)前的雇主可能陷入了困境，或你只是想尋求一份新的挑戰(zhàn)。但是在經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)時(shí)期，有很多虎視眈眈的求職者對(duì)任何職位都是伺機(jī)而動(dòng)，這當(dāng)然也包括你當(dāng)前的職位。而且也因?yàn)楣蛡蜿P(guān)系是可以隨意終止的，你可能會(huì)因?yàn)檎乙环菪鹿ぷ鞫婚_除。

Use these tips to alert your network about a job search without alarming your employer.

運(yùn)用以下小貼士在不讓你上司知道的情況下拓展你的求職交際圈。

Don't Go into Broadcast Mode

不要用廣播的模式

Even though you want your network to know you're looking for work, Liz Ryan, founder of AskLizRyan.com and author of "Happy About Online Networking: The Virtual-ly Simple Way to Build Professional Relationships," urges job seekers, "Do not use LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter to indicate that you're job hunting!"

Liz Ryan是"AskLizRyan.com"網(wǎng)站的創(chuàng)始人，也是"Happy About Online Networking: The Virtual-ly Simple Way to Build Professional Relationships,"一書的作者，她力勸求職者說："即使你想讓你關(guān)系網(wǎng)中的朋友都知道你在找工作，也不要在"LinkedIn", "Facebook", 或"Twitter"等網(wǎng)站上表明你正在找工作。

The same goes for mass emails. She states, "People process information differently and they may think they're being helpful by forwarding a message when, in fact, they're being indiscreet." Someone could reach out, inadvertently, to someone connected to your boss and blow your cover.

同樣也不要利用大量的群發(fā)郵件。她指出說："人們處理郵件的方法不同，他們可能認(rèn)為幫你轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)傳達(dá)信息是幫到了你，而實(shí)際上這卻是不慎重的行動(dòng)。"有的人可能一不小心就把你的郵件轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)給了和你上司有關(guān)系的某人，一樣一下子就讓你的秘密行動(dòng)曝光了。

"Remember, too, that gossipis a valuable currency today," she says. If news of your search falls into too many hands, you cannot control how it is spread. "You can't put such a currency in people's hands and expect them not to spend it."

"還有一點(diǎn)也要記住，如今閑聊也是很有效的信息傳輸方式之一。"她說。如果你在找工作的信息被太多人知道的話，你就不能有效地控制它的傳播。"你不能指望將這樣的信息泄露給別人之后他們不會(huì)和別人四處去說。"

If you ask for a helping hand, ask your associates to run possible leads and introductions by you before pursuing them. The same goes for recruiters. You don't want anyone acting on your behalf without your approval, as you risk exposing your search to your current employer.

如果你想找?guī)褪值脑挘谟兴袆?dòng)之前，先請(qǐng)你的朋友幫你牽頭，并介紹你們認(rèn)識(shí)。在和招聘人員打交道的時(shí)候也是同樣的道理。你不會(huì)想要任何人沒經(jīng)過你的同意就以你的名義去和他們接觸，因?yàn)檫@樣會(huì)增加你的求職行動(dòng)在當(dāng)前雇主面前曝光的可能性。

Stay Top of Mind All the Time

一直都要銘記于心

Because your network is your most powerful resource for finding another job, you must make sure everyone in it understands what you do and what types of opportunities you're pursuing. Says Ryan, a former human resources executive, "The best possible thing you can do for a search is enroll your job-search army! Meet with them. Talk with them. Ask about their lives. Find out how you can help them. This will get them thinking about you in an up-to-date way."

因?yàn)槟愕娜穗H交際網(wǎng)絡(luò)是你找到一份新工作的最強(qiáng)的資源，所以你必須要保證這之中的每一個(gè)人都明白為什么你要換工作，以及你正在找什么類型的工作。Ryan以前是人力資源經(jīng)理，他說："求職中你可以做到的最完美的事情就是招收求職大軍。和他們見面，與他們交談。詢問他們的生活?？纯茨阌惺裁纯梢詭偷剿麄兊?。你這樣做會(huì)讓他們?cè)谟凶钚滦畔⒌臅r(shí)候想到你。"

And if your network isn't big enough, she says that growing it is easiest when you have a job. She notes, "Employed job seekers have a HUGE advantage over unemployed people because they can reach out to anyone in their industry, invite them to coffee, and get to know them without asking for anything." These people may not respond to you when you're unemployed. The same is true for those already in your network.

她還說，如果你的交際網(wǎng)不夠大的話，那么在你在職期間擴(kuò)大是最簡(jiǎn)單的了。她提醒說："在職的求職者與那些失業(yè)了的求職者相比，有非常大的優(yōu)勢(shì)。因?yàn)樗麄兛梢院屯恍袠I(yè)的任何人聯(lián)系上，請(qǐng)他們?nèi)ズ瓤Х?，不用開口要求任何事情也可以了解他們。"而這些人在你失業(yè)的時(shí)候可能不會(huì)接受你的任何邀請(qǐng)。同樣的情況也會(huì)發(fā)生在你交際網(wǎng)中已存在的人脈中間。

"If you let a connection lapse, you may encounter apathy when you ask for help," Ryan adds.

Ryan 補(bǔ)充說："如果你失去了一份聯(lián)系的話，在你需要幫助的時(shí)候可能會(huì)遭遇冷漠。"

Be Ready with References

準(zhǔn)備好推薦信

If you're looking for a job while you have one, you probably don't want to use your boss or a current colleague as a reference. This is particularly vexing if you've held the same position for a number of years. Ryan, an expert on the new millennium workplace, advises, "We have to cultivate references all the time. Look to people who have left the company. Former clients. Even vendors. You may think a vendorwouldn't roll over on a client they serve, but they're pragmatic. You may be a good contact for them down the road." Individuals you know through volunteer activities and professional associations can also act as references.

如果你在有工作的時(shí)候求職的話，你可能不會(huì)想要你的上司或同事幫你寫推薦信。尤其是如果你在同一職位做了幾年的話這種情況尤其讓人傷腦筋。Ryan是一位新千年職場(chǎng)的專家，她建議說："我們必須時(shí)刻準(zhǔn)備好推薦信。去找已經(jīng)離開公司的同事，或以前的客戶，或以前的供應(yīng)商幫你寫推薦信。你可能認(rèn)為一個(gè)供應(yīng)商不能給他們服務(wù)的客戶寫什么推薦信之類的，但是他們的推薦也是很有效的。因?yàn)槟憧赡茉趯砟硞€(gè)時(shí)刻和他們會(huì)有很好的接觸。"你認(rèn)識(shí)的熟人中那些參加過志愿工作或?qū)I(yè)協(xié)會(huì)的也可以為你寫推薦信。

Another great opportunity for references from your current boss and coworkers are LinkedIn endorsements. "Approach your boss in an 'up' moment, when you've gone the extra mile or saved something, and ask, 'Do you use LinkedIn? May I ask you for an endorsement? It would be fantastic because I'm thinking of becoming an officer in a professional association.' Or something to that effect." Once you have the endorsement, it's there for potential employers to see.

另外一個(gè)從你當(dāng)前的上司或同事那里得到推薦信的機(jī)會(huì)是百度簽注。"在一個(gè)好的時(shí)機(jī)去找你的老板，比如在你比別人多做了一點(diǎn)事情的時(shí)候或挽救了什么事情的時(shí)候，問他‘你是否用LinkedIn'我是否可以得到您的簽注？這樣會(huì)很棒，因?yàn)槲乙恢毕胫蔀橐粋€(gè)專業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)的一員。'或說些其他有用的事情。"一旦你得到了這份簽注，那么有朝一*的潛在雇主可能就會(huì)看到。
