5大標(biāo)準(zhǔn)幫你判斷工作是否該轉(zhuǎn)行

　　When you’re in your 30s you’ve reached a critical point in your career. You’ve got a good amount of experience under your belt, you’ve been promoted a few times, and you’ve got a decent salary.

　　你已經(jīng)30多歲了，那么你就到達(dá)了事業(yè)發(fā)展的關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)。你已具備豐富的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)，多次獲得晉升，以及早已獲得一份相當(dāng)不錯(cuò)的薪水了。

　　But, as Stephen Covey said:

　　但是，正如Stephen Covey(史蒂芬·柯維，美國著名管理學(xué)大師)所說：

　　"It doesn’t really matter how fast you’re going if you’re heading in the wrong direction."

　　“如果你正往錯(cuò)誤的方向前進(jìn)，那速度多快就根本不重要了。”

　　Having the right goals in place is fundamental to successfully achieving them, and for that achievement to really contribute to your happiness and life satisfaction. So the number one priority at this stage is getting clarity on what your priorities actually are!

　　能否設(shè)定明智的目標(biāo)對于能否順利完成它們來說是至關(guān)重要的，并且這種達(dá)到目標(biāo)的成功確實(shí)能使你感到快樂以及生活滿足感。所以當(dāng)前要?jiǎng)?wù)就是你得弄清自己的首要事情是什么!

　　A great way to do this is to define your personal values, getting to a list of your top three is ideal. Then ask yourself if these values are really reflected in your career and your lifestyle today. If not, you can go about setting goals that are aligned with those values, and then creating an action plan to achieve those goals.

　　有一個(gè)很好的方法，那就是明確個(gè)人價(jià)值觀，把最主要3個(gè)列出來就足夠了。然后問問自己這些價(jià)值觀能否真實(shí)反映你當(dāng)前的職業(yè)狀態(tài)與生活方式。如果不能，那么設(shè)定一些與這些價(jià)值觀相關(guān)的目標(biāo)，然后設(shè)計(jì)一份行動(dòng)計(jì)劃去實(shí)現(xiàn)它們。

　　Signs that you should move on

　　出現(xiàn)以下情況時(shí)，你就該做出改變了：

　　1. Your key strengths and skills are not being leveraged:

　　1.你的特長與技能并沒有利用起來。

　　If you find that you’re unable to use your experience and abilities in your current role, it may be time to look for a role that’s a better fit for your profile. The same applies if you’re not being recognised and appreciated for the value you’re adding to the business.

　　如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)在當(dāng)前的職位中無法把自己的經(jīng)驗(yàn)與能力運(yùn)用起來，那么也許就該找另外一份與你的個(gè)人特長更匹配的職業(yè)了。同樣這也適用于個(gè)人投入工作中的價(jià)值特征沒被認(rèn)可或欣賞的情況。

　　2.You’ve stopped learning and growing:

　　2.你已停止學(xué)習(xí)與進(jìn)步。

　　If every aspect of your role starts to feel routine, if you’re constantly bored and you feel you no longer have any opportunities to grow either in this role or in another role at your current company, then you’d do better to seek a new challenge.

　　如果當(dāng)前的職位方方面面都讓你感到平淡乏味，如果你總是覺得無聊并且你認(rèn)為自己無法在當(dāng)前的公司獲得任何發(fā)展的機(jī)會了，無論職位如何，你都得尋找新的挑戰(zhàn)了。

　　3.The positives no longer outweigh the negatives:

　　3.利處不再大于弊處：

　　If your salary no longer makes up for the stress and overtime, if the fun times become less and less frequent, if the interesting projects no longer compensate for the dull tasks, then you may want to look for a job where the balance is more in your favour.

　　如果你的薪水再也無法抵消壓力和加班對你造成的負(fù)面影響，如果快樂的時(shí)光越來越少越來越渺茫，有趣的項(xiàng)目不再抵消日常的瑣事，那么你也許就該找另外一份讓你感到心理平衡的工作了。

　　4.Your values are misaligned with the company’s:

　　4. 你的價(jià)值觀與公司的不一致：

　　If you find yourself disagreeing with the overall company direction, or your boss’s decisions are counter to what you believe, and fundamentally you realise that your values are not aligned with those of the company, the right thing for both you and your boss will be to find a role that’s a better match for what you believe in.

　　如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己并不同意公司的總體發(fā)展方向，或者老板的決定與你的信念背道而馳，并且重要的是你意識到你的所堅(jiān)信的價(jià)值觀與公司的價(jià)值觀并不一致，那么你和老板該做的就是尋找另外一個(gè)與你的價(jià)值觀更相符的職位了。

　　5. You have a burning desire to do something else:

　　5. 你急切希望做別的事情。

　　If your gut tells you it’s time to move on, if you have a passion that you’ve been dreaming of following for years, if you have a business idea that’s clearly formed in your head, then now may be the time to make it a reality; even if it means starting at a lower level.

　　如果你的內(nèi)心告訴你該放手了，如果你有一個(gè)早已夢想多年希望完成的愿望，如果你有一個(gè)早已了然于心的經(jīng)商點(diǎn)子，那么現(xiàn)在也許就是時(shí)候?qū)崿F(xiàn)它了，即使這意味著從較低水平開始著手。

　　Questions you can ask yourself:

　　在做決定前，可以問問自己這些問題：

　　What is my current job giving me (in terms of tangible benefits as well as things like satisfaction and growth)? What’s missing?

　　我目前的工作給了我什么(可以從物質(zhì)利益還有滿意度和職業(yè)發(fā)展方面考慮)?缺少了什么東西?

　　Where am I headed in my current role? (This is also a question for your boss.)

　　我當(dāng)前職位的前進(jìn)方向是什么?(這也是給老板提的問題)

　　Where do I see myself in five years? Ten?

　　五年后我會是怎樣的?十年后呢?

　　What would this career change give me?

　　這次改變職業(yè)會給我?guī)硎裁从绊?

　　What to do next:

　　接下來該這么做：

　　The next steps will depend on your reasons for wanting to change, and your answers to those questions above. You may decide that you simply need to change to a similar job in a different company, or perhaps a different industry; you may be looking to move into the non-profit sector; or maybe you want to start your own business. As a general guide, if you haven't already I would advise you to do some research on what it would take for you to make that move.

　　接下來就該取決于你想改變職業(yè)的理由了，以及你對上面的這些問題的答案?？赡苣阒皇窍朕D(zhuǎn)換到別的公司，或不一樣的行業(yè)擔(dān)任類似的職位;也許你希望加入一家非盈利機(jī)構(gòu);或你想自主創(chuàng)業(yè)。根據(jù)常規(guī)，如果你還沒決定好我就會建議你多做資料搜集，以確定自己為何想要轉(zhuǎn)行。

　　Have a look at the roles that are currently being advertised: Does your profile fit the job description? Are there skills that you need to develop, courses you need to take, in order to be qualified? What books can you read about this new industry or field to get better informed? What conferences and networking events can you go to in order to connect with people who are already there?

　　瀏覽一下當(dāng)前正在招募的職位描述：你的個(gè)人履歷符合要求嗎?你是否需要培養(yǎng)所需的技能，是否需要參與一些課程以便自己獲得資格證明?關(guān)于新的行業(yè)領(lǐng)域需要閱讀哪些書籍以獲得更好的信息?你能參與哪些會議或建立社交關(guān)系的晚會以便更好地聯(lián)系行業(yè)里的前輩?

　　Money is often the biggest concern for people making such a big change, especially if you're facing the prospect of a cut in your salary. If this is a worry, then it’s best to sit down sooner rather than later and take a proper look at your finances. Do you need to start cutting down on your expenses to have a buffer for when you decide to quit? How long will it take you to save this amount, i.e. what deadline can you give yourself to actually quit your job?

　　金錢通常都是人們在考慮此類重大改變時(shí)最關(guān)注的問題，特別在你可能面臨著薪水的銳減時(shí)。如果這是一個(gè)讓你擔(dān)憂的問題，那么你還得坐下來好好評估一下自己的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況。你是否需要節(jié)省一筆開支以備辭職時(shí)作為緩沖的需要?多久才能存到那一筆錢，也就是說你給自己辭職的最后期限是什么時(shí)候?

　　If you’re really unsure of whether the career change is the right move for you or not, or you just want some extra support from someone who is objective and unbiased, then you can also consider working with a career coach.

　　如果你真的不確定職業(yè)變換是不是一個(gè)好的決定，或者你很希望獲得那些能夠客觀，不偏不倚看待事情的朋友的支持，那么你也可以考慮與職業(yè)導(dǎo)師好好地合作，共同解決這個(gè)難題。

　　Good luck!

　　祝你好運(yùn)!
