Like the old saying, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life," it's never a bad time to start moving your career in a better direction.

就像諺語中說的那樣“每一天都是余生的第一天”。好的職場規(guī)劃是必需的。

1. Pay Attention in Class 投入精力

Treat every workday like a school day. Be sure you learn something and use it to make yourself more productive. It doesn't have to relate to your skills set. It may be as simple as understanding how to work with specific peers or emotional intelligence. Take mental notes. Don't sleepwalk through the day.

將每一個(gè)工作日都當(dāng)成一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)日。每一天你都需要吸收新的東西，讓你自己更有競爭力，不一定都得是硬本領(lǐng)，也可以是與同事相處，控制自己的情緒等等。不要浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。

2. Look for the Next Rung 找升職的機(jī)會(huì)

You need to excel at your job. This is how you gain credibility. But understanding your next step is key to career happiness. Career pathing is critical to remaining engaged on the job. Schedule discussions with your manager to get clarity on the next challenge. If you don't get it on your team or in your company, it may be time to look elsewhere.

你需要將自己的工作做的很優(yōu)秀，這樣你就可以獲得信任，但是記住升職是你工作中真正需要的。這樣你才有可能進(jìn)一步在自己的職業(yè)道路上發(fā)展，抑或者是你并不適合自己的領(lǐng)域。

3. Understand Company Goals 清楚公司的發(fā)展方向

Make sure you understand how your job contributes to your company's business objectives. Are you in a revenue generating role? A brand-awareness role? Is your mission to delight the customer? Knowing how your job fi ts into the big picture will give you inspiration and a sense of accomplishment — and will help you understand your job's impact.

弄清楚你現(xiàn)在所做的工作在你的公司中出于怎樣的地位，你是否讓公司增值了？還是與客戶打交道？

4. Be Ethical 誠實(shí)可靠

Bring integrity to your job. Whether you're running the company or cleaning its bathrooms, be honest in all you do. Don't call in sick just to get a day off — that's stealing. Put in an honest day's work. Be accountable. If you're working remotely, be sure you are. Do what you say you're going to do. Honesty and reliability mean a lot to your manager.

全身心投入自己的工作，不論你是公司的經(jīng)營者，或者只是一個(gè)清潔工作者，務(wù)必做好你自己的工作，不要謊稱生病，誠實(shí)面對(duì)自己，面對(duì)你的工作。

5. Stay Fit 注意身體

Try to break a sweat for 20 minutes, three days a week. Go for a walk at lunch. Join a gym. Lift weights. A healthy body makes a healthy mind. Exercising increases blood flow to the brain and gives you ideas. You'll be more productive at work, and best of all, you'll feel better.

每天花20分鐘鍛煉，或者在午餐時(shí)間走走，最好辦一張健身卡，鍛煉可以加速你的血液循環(huán)，讓你更好地投入自己的工作。

6. Stretch Your Role 關(guān)注自己分外的事

Occasionally think how you can go above and beyond. Are there projects outside your defined role you could help with? Be proactive; ask to join. Come up with your own ideas, and work with your manager to implement them. If you're a hamster, step off the wheel and poke your head out of the cage. Stretch a little. This won't go unnoticed.

偶爾想想自己除了現(xiàn)在的事，還可以做些什么，是不是有些不是你崗內(nèi)的事，要有提前意識(shí)，積極爭取。

7. Manage Up 和上司保持一致

Make sure you and your manager are in firm agreement on what you're doing. Be proactive and get on his calendar to ensure you're meeting or exceeding expectations. Don't assume he's paying close attention. There are bad managers. If there's a disconnect between what you're doing and what your manager wants, you're partly to blame. Don't wait until review time.

要確保自己和管理者在你的工作上達(dá)成了一致，知道他心里的最后期限，最好能提前完成他的要求。如果你做的和你的上司想的不一樣，你很可能被批評(píng)。

8. Manage Across 和同事保持一致

Even if you work primarily alone, be sure to make time to understand your peers' roles and how they go about their jobs. Show an interest. Don't just choose a few friends and become part of a clique. High school is over. You never know when you may need people — or be reporting to them.

就算是一個(gè)你一人承擔(dān)的工作，弄清楚其他同事的角色，他們都在做些什么。

9. Communicate 交流

Don't leave people waiting for answers. If you're in an e-mail environment, reply e-mails promptly. Let people know what you're doing. If you're working on a project, always ask yourself who needs to know about it, then tell them. Talk to people; give them a heads up. And when someone helps you out, be sure to thank him. It's amazing this even needs to be on a list, but bad communicators abound. Don't be one of them.

不要讓別人等著你的答案。如果你可以發(fā)電子郵件，及時(shí)地回封電子郵件。讓別人知道你在做什么。

10. Make Time for Play 勞逸結(jié)合

Have fun. Work hard, but smile while you're doing it. No one likes a grump. Approach each day with a positive spirit and stay loose. Enjoy your family and friends as well. Make time for them — and you. It's called work/life balance. All work and no play makes life a chore.

快樂工作，辛勤工作的同事不要忘記微笑。沒人喜歡脾氣暴躁的人。
