斷送職業(yè)生涯的小事

That They Are Job Hunting

你在找工作

When I was a kid, I told my baseball coach I was quitting in two weeks. For the next two weeks, I found myself riding the bench. It got even worse after those two weeks when I decided to stay, and I became“the kid who doesn't even want to be here.”I was crushed, but it was my own fault; I told him my decision before it was certain.

當(dāng)年我還是個(gè)小孩子的時(shí)候，我對(duì)棒球隊(duì)的教練說(shuō)自己打算在兩周內(nèi)退隊(duì)。結(jié)果在接下來(lái)的兩周里我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己只能坐冷板凳。兩周之后，當(dāng)我改主意決定留下來(lái)的時(shí)候，情況變得更加糟糕，我變成了“那個(gè)甚至不想再來(lái)這里的孩子”。我痛苦萬(wàn)分，但這是我自己的錯(cuò);是因?yàn)樵谖覜](méi)有拿定主意之前，就把自己的決定告訴了教練。

The same thing happens when you tell people that you're job hunting. Once you reveal that you're planning to leave, you suddenly become a waste of everyone's time. There's also the chance that your hunt will be unsuccessful, so it's best to wait until you've found a job before you tell anyone. Otherwise, you will end up riding the bench.

當(dāng)你告訴別人你在找工作的時(shí)候，同樣的事情就會(huì)發(fā)生。一旦你表明，你正計(jì)劃離職的時(shí)候，你突然間就變成了在浪費(fèi)大家的時(shí)間。你在求職中有可能會(huì)遭遇失敗，所以最好是你已經(jīng)拿到工作邀請(qǐng)函之后再去告訴別人。否則，你最后又得坐冷板凳。

【知識(shí)點(diǎn)講解】

There are those, you know, who, by circumstance, end up homeless.

您知道，會(huì)有那么一些人，因?yàn)槊\(yùn)捉弄而落得無(wú)家可歸。
