There's nothing more exciting than receiving a job offer. But that excitement is often mixed with anxiety and apprehension. What if you make the wrong decision? To ease your nerves and make the decision process less emotional, use an objective assessment to evaluate what's important to you in a job. That will ensure you make the best decision for your career and happiness.
没有什么比收到录用通知更令人兴奋的事了,但伴随着这种兴奋之情的往往是焦虑、忧思。如果做错决定了怎么办?为了减轻紧张情绪、使决策过程不那么情绪化,请客观评估工作中的轻重缓急,这或能帮助您做出有关职业和幸福的最佳决策。
Before you even start applying for new jobs, list what you are looking for. It's OK if money is on the top of your list, but don't stop there. Here are more categories and criteria you'll want to consider:
申请一份新工作前,列出自己的预期。如果你觉得工资最重要,那完全没问题,但不要只着眼于工资,您还可以考虑以下的类别和标准。
The Company
公司情况
Number of employees; financial status; leadership style; policies, processes and procedures that establish how it functions; how it holds true to its mission and vision.
职工人数、财务状况、领导风格、公司运营的政策、流程和程序;公司如何让使命和愿景成为现实。
The Job
职位情况
Job duties and how much you would enjoy them; how you would spend your day; how many meetings or events you would be expected to attend; the reporting relationships of the job; how your boss would measure success.
工作职责以及你是否喜欢做这些工作;每天如何度过;你需要参加多少次会议或活动;工作的对接关系;你的老板如何衡量成功。
Career Potential
职业潜力
If you haven't given much thought about your future, imagine where you want to be three to five years from now and how your next job can help you get there. Is there an opportunity for advancement and does the company offer tuition reimbursement?
如果你没有好好想过你的未来,那就想象一下,希望自己3至5年后处于什么样的状态,你觉得新工作会在此间起到何种作用。有没有升职的机会?公司是否可报销学业进修费?
Research examples of employees who have been successful attaining promotions and support for additional education. While company leaders may say they promote from within, there may not be enough roles for you to move up and into.
调研成功升职或得到学业进修补助的职员的案例。虽然公司领导可能会说他们会从内部层层提拔,但你要知道:可能并没有那么多的升职机会等着你。
Working Hours and Flexibility
工作时长和灵活性
What are the real hours your potential colleagues work versus the published start and end times? Would you be required to be on call or work overtime? Does the company allow employees to work remotely or offer flexibility in the work schedule?
你的潜在同事真正的工作时长是什么?公司规定的上班时间和下班时间又是什么?你是否要做到随叫随到,是否需要加班?公司是否允许员工远程工作,其工作时间是否灵活?
Total Compensation
总体的补偿情况
Evaluate the benefits, such as: quality and cost of health insurance, number of days for vacation and sick leave, availability of retirement plans, life and disability insurance.
评估福利,比如:健康保险的质量和成本、休假和病假的天数、退休计划的有效性,以及人寿保险和伤残保险。
Don't forget to think about commuting time, whether you'd have to relocate, the costs of parking and child care and other perks and expenses.
还得考虑通勤时间、是否需要搬公寓、停车费、儿童保育费,以及其它津贴和费用。
