5.Look for the right match. Big-company denizens looking to change careers often overlook smaller firms, including startups, notes Carolyn Hughes. That's a mistake. "Big companies usually have more rigid job descriptions," she says. "Your best bet might be companies with between 100 and 300 employees, which are big enough to have opportunities but small enough that individual roles are more broad, fluid, and flexible."
5.不選大的，只選對(duì)的。卡洛琳-休斯指出，大公司里準(zhǔn)備跳槽的員工往往會(huì)忽視小企業(yè)的價(jià)值，如初創(chuàng)企業(yè)等，這種做法是錯(cuò)誤的。她說(shuō)：“大公司的招聘條件往往更加嚴(yán)格。員工規(guī)模在100至300人的公司是首選，這樣規(guī)模的公司能夠提供足夠多的機(jī)會(huì)，同時(shí)員工個(gè)體角色的定位相對(duì)來(lái)說(shuō)也更加寬泛、多變且靈活。”
Marc Dorio agrees: "Employers are not all the same. Some want a specific background and set of experiences, but others define jobs more creatively and are interested in how you present your own approach to the work." Dorio coached one former financial analyst who was hired by a market research firm because "they liked the way he proposed to apply his financial acumen to the role. It added a different dimension."
馬克-多里奧對(duì)此表示贊同，并補(bǔ)充道：“企業(yè)老板的想法五花八門(mén)。一些老板希望員工具有特定領(lǐng)域的背景及相關(guān)經(jīng)驗(yàn)；而另一些可能對(duì)職位的定義更具創(chuàng)造性，對(duì)求職者如何展開(kāi)工作更感興趣。”多里奧曾指導(dǎo)過(guò)一位財(cái)務(wù)分析師，現(xiàn)在就職于一家市場(chǎng)研究公司。他之所以能獲得這份工作，是因?yàn)椤八哂休^高的財(cái)務(wù)敏感度，而且有意將之運(yùn)用到市場(chǎng)研究領(lǐng)域。這種思路拓展了市場(chǎng)調(diào)研的維度。”
Some employers actually prefer people who, lacking industry experience, are also free of the bad habits and stale thinking that experience can engender. "We don't pay much attention to industry-specific experience," says Kenneth Wisnefski, founder and CEO of WebiMax, a search-optimization company in Mount Laurel, N.J. "We train them to become the type of employees we want." WebiMax has more than doubled its headcount so far in 2011, from 70 to 150.
事實(shí)上，還存在著這樣一類(lèi)雇傭者，他們更青睞于缺乏經(jīng)驗(yàn)的求職者，因?yàn)檫@類(lèi)求職者顯然還未沾染上業(yè)內(nèi)的某些壞習(xí)慣及陳腐思想。“是否具備行業(yè)經(jīng)驗(yàn)并不是我們關(guān)注的重點(diǎn)，”肯尼斯-維斯尼夫斯基說(shuō)。“我們會(huì)把他們培養(yǎng)成為我們需要的員工類(lèi)型。”肯尼斯-維斯尼夫斯基在美國(guó)新澤西州月桂山市創(chuàng)辦了自己的搜索引擎優(yōu)化公司W(wǎng)ebiMax，并擔(dān)任CEO一職。
