Examine Expectations

審視期望值


The way to cope is first to examine your expectations. Says Ms. Hassler: ‘Often, the first few years at a job aren’t the most thrilling because you’re learning the ropes, and it may be unreasonable to think that you’ll be jumping out of bed to go to work every day, or that you’ll get promoted before you’ve had time to prove yourself.’


應對這種狀況的辦法，首先就是審視自己的期望值。哈斯勒女士說，一般來說，每份新工作的最初幾年都不會那么令人興奮，原因是你還在熟悉業(yè)務當中。這時候，要求自己每天都很積極地起床上班，或者希望自己在有時間證明自身價值之前就得到提升，可能都是不合情理的的想法。


Plan on the Sidelines

自我規(guī)劃


If you’re certain that you’ve made a wrong turn, try not to get mired in feelings of negativity. ‘If you go to work every day with a woe-is-me attitude, you are going to feel even worse,’says Ms. Hassler, who eventually left Hollywood to become a life coach and book author. She suggests talking about your feelings with a friend or mentor, but keeping your game face on at work.


如果你肯定自己的職業(yè)選擇是錯誤的一步，那么也要試著不讓自己陷在負面情緒里無法自拔。哈斯勒女士說，如果你每天去上班的時候都抱著我很倒霉的態(tài)度，那么你會感覺更差。哈斯勒女士最終離開了好萊塢，成為了一位生活指導和作家。她建議和朋友或者導師暢談自己的感想，但是在工作的時候則要保持正常心態(tài)。


Maintain your work reputation and in your free time you can start putting plans in place to transition your career. Begin researching positions that are a better fit for your skills and interests, start saving money, and attend networking activities in different industries so that you can get plugged into their communities.


一方面保持在工作上的聲望，一方面在閑暇的時候開始自我規(guī)劃，為職業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)型做好準備。不妨開始研究更加適合自己技能和興趣的職位，開始存錢，參加不同行業(yè)的社交活動，以便將來能夠進入它們的領域。

Take the Pressure Off

消除壓力


And don’t do anything rash. Although it’s normal to make a career detour, it’s also hard work, so you’ll be well served to consider your next move carefully. Putting pressure on yourself to find the perfect career right now will not make it happen any faster, so remove the sense of urgency.


不要行事魯莽。雖然職業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)型遇挫是很正常的事情，但是這也意味著要付出努力，因此仔細考慮自己的下一步行動有利無害。給自己太多壓力，要求自己馬上找到完美的職業(yè)，只會適得其反，因此不要有緊迫感。


‘Relax and spend some time getting to know yourself,’ says Ms. Hassler. ‘As we get a clearer picture of who we are, then what we want to do becomes easier to identify.’


哈斯勒女士說，不妨放松心情，花些時間了解自己。隨著我們越來越清楚自己是誰，那么也就更加容易找到我們到底想做什么。
