9. Network, Network, Network 交往、交往、交往
Don't wait for company events to make friends and meet peers. Introduce yourself over a cup of tea or lunch in the cafeteria or even around the water-cooler. Exchange greetings and ask for advice. People will be flattered that you have reached out.
別等著公司舉辦活動才去結交朋友和同事。在喝茶、用自助午餐甚或去飲水機旁接水時就可順帶著把自己介紹給公司同仁。可以與同事互致問候或向他們尋求建議。你這樣主動搭訕,別人會感覺良好。
When possible, also reach out to people outside your department. Down the road, they could be your eyes and ears to what's happening in other parts of the company, and who knows, you might want to work in a different department at some point. Also, don't forget to build good relationships with senior people around you.
如果可能,也要主動去接觸本部門以外的人。他們有可能成為你了解公司其他部門情況的耳目。或許你有朝一日想換一個部門工作呢。還有,別忘了與你周圍的高層人士建立良好關系。
