好前程是做出來(lái)的：如何變得更職業(yè)

HowToBeProfessional?Youprobablyknowthatit'simportanttobeprofessionalifyouwanttohaveasuccessfulcareer,butwhatdoesthatactuallymean?你可能知道，如果你想要獲得職業(yè)生涯的成功，表現(xiàn)得更職業(yè)是非常重要的。不過(guò)這到底是什么意思呢？Afterall,professionalismisrarelytaught;you'resupposedtopickituponyourownthroughacombinationofobservationandosmosis,butthat'snotalwayseasytodo.Andlearningonthejobcanbefraughtwithlandmines,sinceyoumightnotevenseeyourmistakescoming.畢竟，很少會(huì)有人教你怎樣才是職業(yè)，人們希望你從觀察和潛移默化中學(xué)習(xí)。而這個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)的過(guò)程總是會(huì)讓你在不經(jīng)意間踩到地雷，因?yàn)槟悴恢滥闶裁磿r(shí)候會(huì)犯錯(cuò)。Sowithoutfurtheradieu,hereare10keyelementsofprofessionalismthatyoushouldmasterearlyinyourcareer.所以，就不多介紹了，以下是你在職業(yè)生涯初期必須掌握的條職業(yè)的原則。Payattentiontotheculturalnormsinyourorganization,andfollowthem.Ifyouwatchhowothersinyourofficeoperate,you'lllearnallsortsofimportantthingsabout"howwedothingshere."Forinstance,youmightobservethateveryoneshowsuppreciselyontimeformeetings,thattheymodulatetheirvoiceswhenothersareonthephone,andthatpeoplerelyonemailfornon-urgentquestions.Theseareimportantsignalsforwhatwillbeexpectedofyourownbehavior-andyou'llcomeacrossastone-deafifyouignorethem.注意觀察你所在企業(yè)的文化規(guī)范，并遵從這種規(guī)范。只要你觀察你周圍的人是怎么做的，你就能學(xué)到有關(guān)“我們?cè)谶@兒怎么做事”的一切。比如說(shuō)，你可能會(huì)觀察到每個(gè)人在開會(huì)的時(shí)候都會(huì)恰好準(zhǔn)時(shí)到達(dá)他們講電話的時(shí)候會(huì)調(diào)整自己的音量，他們?cè)谔幚矸蔷o急事務(wù)時(shí)更依賴郵件。這些都是關(guān)于你該怎么做的重要暗示。一一而你如果無(wú)視了這些事情，就會(huì)被看作是個(gè)不懂得察言觀色的愣頭青。Bepleasantandpolitetopeople,evenifyoudon'tlikethem.Youwillhavetoworkwithpeoplewhomyoujustdon'tcarefor,andevenwithpeoplewhoaren'tverynice.You'lllookfarmoreprofessionalifyoudon'tletthemgetunderyourskinandinsteadremaincordialandeasytoworkwith.友善而有禮貌地待人，即使你不喜歡他們。你會(huì)需要和那些你根本不關(guān)心的人一起共事，甚至還要和那些脾氣很差的人共事。如果你能不被這些人激怒，而是保持親切溫和，那么你一定會(huì)被認(rèn)為相當(dāng)職業(yè)。Takeworkseriously.Ifyoumakeamistakeorsomethingdoesn'tgowell,don'tbrushitofforusecavalierresponseslike"mybad."Acceptresponsibilityforyourpartinwhatwentwrong.認(rèn)真對(duì)待工作。如果你犯了個(gè)錯(cuò)，或者某件事進(jìn)展不順，不要不屑一顧或是傲慢地回應(yīng)：“我的錯(cuò)”。當(dāng)事情出了問(wèn)題時(shí)要對(duì)你負(fù)責(zé)的部分但負(fù)起責(zé)任。Speakupwhenworkisn'tgettingdoneontimeorwhenthereareproblemswithaproject.Partoftakingrealownershipforyouworkmeansthatyou'reresponsibleforalertingyourbosswhenthingsaregoingoffcourse,ratherthantryingtoignoreitorjusthopingthatnoonenotices.如果工作沒有及時(shí)地完成，或是項(xiàng)目出了什么問(wèn)題時(shí)將它提出來(lái)。為工作負(fù)責(zé)的一部分意味著你有責(zé)任在事情正在脫離正軌的時(shí)候提醒你的老板,而不是試著無(wú)視它或寄希望于別人注意不到。Realizethatgettingfeedbackonyourwork-evencriticalfeedback-ispartofthejob;it'snotpersonal.Gettingangryordefensiveorotherwisetakingitpersonallywhenyourmanagergivesyoufeedbackcanbeaneasytraptofallinto,butitwillmakeyoulooklessprofessional.Andafterall,ifyoucareaboutdoingyourjobwellandadvancing,don'tyouwanttoknowwhereyouneedtodobetter?意識(shí)到獲得工作上的反饋一一即使是批評(píng)意見一一也是工作的一部分，而不是個(gè)人事務(wù)。在經(jīng)理給你提出反饋意見時(shí)，很容易使人表現(xiàn)出惱怒和防御性，或是把它理解為個(gè)人事務(wù)。這么做就會(huì)讓你顯得不那么職業(yè)。畢竟，如果你很關(guān)注如何能把工作做好，你難道不希望知道你在什么地方能做得更好嗎？Youneedtowriteclearlyandprofessionally.Thatmeansnotextspeak,andcorrectpunctuationandcapitalization.Thisdoesn'tmeanthatyouneedtowriteasifyouwereaddressingtheQueenofEngland,butyoudoneedtotakecarethatyoudon'tsoundlikeyou'retextingafriendfromanightclubeither.寫清晰，職業(yè)的書面語(yǔ)。這意味著寫書面化的語(yǔ)言，使用正確的標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)和大小寫。這并不意味著你要像給英國(guó)女王寫信一樣，但你必須注意到你的語(yǔ)氣不能像給俱樂(lè)部的朋友寫信一樣。Beflexible.Yes,yourworkdaymightformallyendat5p.m.,butifstayinganhourlatewillensurethenewslettergoestotheprinterontime,youshoulddoitunlessthat'strulyimpossible.Thatdoesn'tmeantoignoreimportantcommitmentsinyourownlife,butyoushouldn'tletimportantworkgoundonejustbecauseofyourquittingtime.Similarly,beflexiblewhenitcomestochangesinworkplans,goalsorotherthingsthatmightevolveasworkmovesforward.懂得變通。沒錯(cuò)，你的正常工作時(shí)間或許應(yīng)該在下午點(diǎn)結(jié)束，但如果你多待個(gè)小時(shí)，就能確保通訊文件能及時(shí)打印出來(lái)，你就應(yīng)該這么做，除非確實(shí)不可能。這并不意味著忽視你個(gè)人生活中的責(zé)任，你只是不應(yīng)該僅僅因?yàn)榈搅四阆掳嗟臅r(shí)間就讓重要的工作拖下去。同樣地，當(dāng)工作計(jì)劃、目標(biāo)或其他事情發(fā)生變化的時(shí)候，你也要懂得變通。Showupreliably.Unlessyouhavepre-scheduledvacationtimeoryou'retrulyill,youshouldbeatworkwhenthey'reexpectingyoutobethere.It'snotOKtocallinsickbecauseyou'rehungover,orbecauseyoustayeduplatelastnightwatchingsoccer,orbecauseyoujustdon'tfeellikecomingin.出勤穩(wěn)定。除非你有預(yù)先計(jì)劃好的度假時(shí)間，或者真的生病了，你就應(yīng)該按時(shí)工作。只是因?yàn)槟阋鋈ネ?，或者前一晚通宵看球了，或者只是不想?lái)上班就請(qǐng)病假是不對(duì)的。Behelpful,anddomorethansolelywhat'sinyourjobdescription.Thewaythatyougainagreatprofessionalreputation-whichwillgiveyouoptionsthatyoucanusetoearnmoremoney,getoutofbadsituationsandnothavetotakethefirstjobthatcomesalong-isbydoingmorethanthebareminimumrequired.Thatmeansalwayslookingforwaystodoyourjobbetter,helpingoutcolleagueswhenyoucan,andnotbalkingatnewprojects.對(duì)別人有所幫助，不要僅僅做你工作說(shuō)明書上的工作。能為你獲得職業(yè)聲譽(yù)的方式，就是不僅僅做那些最低要求的工作。職業(yè)聲譽(yù)能在你想掙更多錢、脫離不好的局面或是不想做第一個(gè)交給你的工作時(shí)給你提供更多的選擇。這也就是說(shuō)你要經(jīng)常尋找把工作做得更好的方法，幫助同事們做些力所能及的工作，不要反對(duì)新推出的項(xiàng)目。Don'ttreatyourmanagerasyouradversary.Ifyouseeyourman
