What are the important factors to consider when you're searching for a job?
找工作,該考慮哪些重要因素

?

Shannon Harrington答道:

1. It varies for everyone, because people prioritize things differently.
1.這得視乎個(gè)人情況,因?yàn)槊總€(gè)人關(guān)注的點(diǎn)都不一樣。

2. Learning.
2. 吸收新知識(shí)。

As a new grad, and if you aren't learning, you will get bored very quickly. Your brain is still active--use it!
作為一名應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生,你沒有吸取新的知識(shí),你很快就會(huì)感到無趣。趁你的頭腦仍然處于活躍的狀態(tài)——那好好利用它!

3. People.
3. 人際關(guān)系。

If you are absolutely in love with the work you would be doing, but can't stand the people you are working with, you will leave. Ask the companies if you can talk to more people or spend time with them in a casual setting. Feel out who you'd love to spend time with because after all, these are the people you will be spending a majority of your time with over the next few months.
如果你確實(shí)非常喜歡這份潛在的工作,但你無法忍受與你共事的同事,你會(huì)辭職的。詢問該公司,你能否與更多的人交談或在輕松的場合與他們相處。想想你希望花點(diǎn)時(shí)間與哪些人相處,因?yàn)楫吘?,這些人將會(huì)占用你加入公司后大部分的工作時(shí)間。

4. Value Add.
4. 價(jià)值的提升。

After 1 year of working, is this a place where you can walk away if you had to and say? Does this job add something to your personal toolkit that can help you get to the next step in your life even if you don’t know what that might be yet?
經(jīng)過1年的工作,這是不是一個(gè)你能說走就走的地方?這份工作能否給你增加了有助提升自我價(jià)值的技能,即使你還沒發(fā)現(xiàn)呢?

5. Room for Growth.
5. 晉升的空間。

If you do well in your job, does the company support personal growth? What are career trajectories or how can the company support your personal ideas as you move forward?
如果你非常勝任這份工作,公司是否提供激勵(lì)個(gè)人發(fā)展的支持?你的職業(yè)發(fā)展軌道是什么?在你職業(yè)晉升的軌道里,公司所提供的支持能否助你一臂之力?

If you have more than one offer, what should you do?
如果你有多個(gè)職位邀請(qǐng),你怎么做?

6. When thinking about company location, salary, benefits etc, make sure that you are fairly comparing your two offers.
6.在考慮公司地點(diǎn),薪資,福利等因素時(shí),確保你在公平地衡量兩個(gè)職位邀請(qǐng)。

If you have an offer for an entry level role at a large company and a small company, know that the salary is going to look different. If you are comparing a startup, know that the salary is going to look a bit different. If you have questions about your offer, ask! Communicating early will show maturity as a candidate, and will also help you understand how a company is willing to negotiate and answer your questions to see how valuable they really think you are.
如果你有一個(gè)職位邀請(qǐng)是大公司里的基層員工,而另一個(gè)是小公司的,就該意識(shí)到薪水的差別。如果你在對(duì)比著新創(chuàng)辦的小公司,那就要意識(shí)到薪資的差別只有一點(diǎn)不同。如果你對(duì)自己的職位邀請(qǐng)有任何疑問,那就提問吧!及早與對(duì)方溝通交流會(huì)顯示一名求職者的成熟,還能讓你更清楚地了解該公司對(duì)于商務(wù)談判和解答疑難的意愿,從而顯示你對(duì)他們的價(jià)值。

Garrick Saito答道:

This list is very subjective.?What may be important to you may not be important to me (and vice versa). For both companies, I would consider the following:
這是非常主觀的問題。也許你認(rèn)為重要的因素我并不這么認(rèn)為(反之亦然)。對(duì)于兩家公司,我會(huì)考慮以下這些因素:

  • Potential for learning and expanding my current skills
    學(xué)習(xí)與拓展現(xiàn)有技能的潛力
  • Upward mobility potential
    往上晉升的潛力
  • Current compensation (relative to local market conditions)
    (與當(dāng)?shù)厥袌鰲l件相適應(yīng)的)當(dāng)前職位的補(bǔ)貼
  • Health insurance and other fringe benefits
    醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)與其他津貼
  • Driving/commuting distance and time
    交通/通勤距離與時(shí)間
  • Financial health of the company (i.e., "Is there even a remote chance I won't get my paycheck?")
    公司的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況(即,“我有沒有可能被欠薪?”)
  • Historical growth of the company and assessment of their future growth
    公司的歷史增長率與對(duì)未來增長率的評(píng)估。
  • An assessment of the company/corporate culture and their values
    公司的評(píng)估/公司文化與價(jià)值觀。
  • An assessment of my would-be boss/supervisor
    對(duì)潛在雇主/主管的評(píng)估
  • An assessment of why I "wouldn't" want to work there
    對(duì)我不想在這里工作的原因的評(píng)估。
  • If I like/believe in the product or service they provide
    我是否喜歡/支持他們的產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)
  • Average historical pay increases/year end bonuses
    平均歷史加薪/年終獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)

Alex Mooney答道:

I have spent my career helping employees evaluate job opportunities. Here's a few things they have found helpful as they weigh job offers:
我的工作任務(wù)就是幫助求職者評(píng)估不同的工作選擇。下面就是他們認(rèn)為衡量職位邀請(qǐng)的方法。

Do your research
多作研究調(diào)查

Not just on the company, the team, and the job (although it's very important to do this as well), but also research your motivations for doing what you do for a living. Do you go to work everyday because you enjoy solving problems? You like to travel? Ambiguity excites you?
不僅研究該公司,團(tuán)隊(duì)和工作(盡管這也是非常重要的),還得研究你的謀生動(dòng)機(jī)。你每天去上班是因?yàn)槟阆硎芙鉀Q問題嗎?你喜歡旅行嗎?還是因?yàn)楸硪獠幻髯屇愀械郊?dòng)?

Understanding your motivations will help you identify the roles that are right for you.
了解你自己的動(dòng)機(jī)能讓你選擇最適合自己的工作。

Evaluate the role
評(píng)估職位

It's easy to get distracted by compensation or the thought of how a brand name employer will look on a resume. What is more difficult is to think about the long-term by maximizing the important stuff in the short term.
是的,我們很容易受工作補(bǔ)貼的誘惑,或只是因?yàn)槔习鍖?duì)簡歷上的大公司名字的想法而模糊了焦點(diǎn)。更困難的是得仔細(xì)考慮如何在短期內(nèi)把重要的事情最大化以達(dá)到長期的目的。

Research has shown that those who maximize job stretch and growth in the short term, earn significantly more in the long run than those who chase compensation. Will the opportunity presented to you allow you the ability to stretch and grow in your role?
有研究表明那些能在短期內(nèi)最大化發(fā)揮工作技能,獲得進(jìn)步的人,能在長期的發(fā)展中比追逐福利報(bào)酬的人賺取多得多的收入。那么這個(gè)職位能否為你提供增長技能與個(gè)人提升的空間呢?

Think twice before you leap. What you should do is to prioritize your major focuses, do some researches, communicate with people and believe yourself.
三思而后行。你該做的就是把自己最關(guān)注的信息按重要次序列出來,多作研究調(diào)查,與他人溝通交流,并相信你自己。
