Career Progression – Promotion 荣耀与责任并存——浅谈职业晋升的关键要素 文/森海海事服务公司营运总监 Lim Poh Whee Promotion is defined as an act of moving someone to a higher or more important position or rank in an organization. 职场升职的专业名词是- 晋升。升职是指上升到较高层次或更重要职位的过程。 Many companies have their own process in their career progression and most of the established companies have their own career progression system but the common requirements are almost the same. 很多公司都有自己的晋升流程并且大多数知名企业已经形成了自己的职业发展体系,不过基本要求是具有共性的。 The above requirements are to prepare the staff to understand the role and to be able to handle the duties of the next rank. Most companies review their promotion prospects a few times in a year and those identified will be invited for interview provided they complete the specific company requirements. We have seen many cases of staff who are promoted and failed to live up to the expectations required of the next rank as they are unprepared for the role. In my many years of crewing and watching the career progression of hundreds of sea staff. I have noticed that the current generation including the Chinese sea farers expect to be promoted upon completion of some of the common requirements while some possessed an indifferent attitude and a wrong mindset. This has to change. 上述所列的标准是为了让员工们更好的了解规则,为进入更高的职位更好地做准备。大多数公司每年都会反复检查船员们的升职条件,符合条件的会被邀请进行面试。 我们遇到过很多的案例, 船员升职后却不能胜任, 因为他们并没有完全准备好接手他们被提升的岗位,让人深感遗憾。 我在船员部工作很多年,目睹了很多船员的升职过程, 我注意到包括中国船员在内的新一代船员在升职方面的焦急心态,他们在获得高一级证书等最基本的升职条件后,希望在达到一些基本要求后就获得升职,其中一些人态度消极,思维方式不够正确, 这个必须要改正。 Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it! Example, if you did not get promoted because there was no recommendations from your superior and you react negatively, complaining that the superior is being biased. That would be a case of the incorrect attitude and mindset. I would suggest that you reflect on yourself and then manage your superior to get the promotion recommendations. 生活对你来说只有10%是事情本身,而90%是你对事情所采取的态度。举个例子, 如果是因为缺少一份直属主管的推荐信你没有获得升职,从而你开始消极应对这件事情,埋怨你的主管对你有偏见, 这样的态度和想法就是错误的。 我的建议是好好的反思自己,为什么主管没有给你推荐信, 找出需要改进的地方, 得到主管的认可, 推荐信将不难拿到。 There was a case when I heard the comment that the panel of interviewers only promotes the other nationalities. A candidate with the wrong mindset will think and react this way. I have been involved in numerous promotion interviews and this is never the case. The simple reason is that the candidate has not given the interviewers the comfort level to make them clear him for promotion to the next rank. 我还听到过这样的说法, 一些船员的心态不正确,他们认为公司里面某些面试官依据个人喜好只提升某些国籍的船员。实际上, 我参与过很多次船员的晋升面试,并不存在这样的情况,这个船员没有被提升的原因非常简单,是因为他在面试的时候没有给出让面试官满意的答案。 Attitude is 100% as such possessing the right positive attitude along with positive thinking in the workplace will reflect on what you do onboard and will make you become worthy and that will help in your promotion quest. Your attitude is a form of expression of yourself. Having the above traits better your psychological well-being and will help you cope better under stressful conditions especially that of the top four. 工作中要端正态度,积极主动。你的态度会100%反映在在船表现的一举一动中。端正的态度自然会带来出色的表现,从而对你的升职申请大有裨益。你的态度决定了你是一个怎样的人。端正的态度带来健康的心态,而健康的心态能可以让你在各种压力下更好地调节自己的状态,尤其在任职管理级船员时的关键时刻更会发挥巨大的作用。 Mindset – is your collection of thoughts and beliefs that shape your thought habits. Your thought habits affect how you think/react, what you feel and what you do. 心态- 是塑造你的思维方式的思想和信念的集合。你的思维方式决定了你的所思所想、一举一动。, Attitude – is a learned tendency to evaluate things in a certain way. 态度- 是对特定对象所持有的稳定的心理倾向是后天习得的思想倾向,决定了看待事情的方式 Attitude and Mindset are the most important factors to success. Positive thinking will encourage positive mindset. Get rid of the negative attitude and the negative mindset and I am sure your career progression will be a calm and smooth ahead. 态度和心态是成功的关键要素,积极的想法带来积极的心态,摆脱消极态度和消极心态,我相信你的事业发展必定一帆风顺。 The following techniques can help in your career advancement onboard the vessel: 下面一些技巧会对你的在船职业发展有所帮助: 1. Become worthy –For example, a Second Engineer has to absorb and apply all the technical knowledge to be worthy enough to fit into the Chief Engineer’s role and likewise a Chief Officer has to be entirely in control to command over a ship. You must know your job! 能力足以胜任- 例如, 大管轮必须掌握并熟练应用职位要求的所有技术知识,才能胜任轮机长的岗位,同样,大副也必须有足够的能力操纵船舶并适当发布命令,才能接任船长的岗位。 也就是说,你必须足够了解自己的岗位职责。 2. Excelling at work –For example, when a Second Officer, time after time, performs his navigational duties exceptionally, he someday is sure to get hold of his superior’s eye for a better outcome. 优异的工作表现- 比如,一名二副始终能够在自己的岗位上表现非常出色, 总有一天会引起他的主管的注意力, 委以重用。 3. Staying up front and volunteering – To enhance credentials, be a volunteer at the workplace. It is always better to exchange your views and experiences that will make your job to be effectively carried out. The management are always on lookout for persons who can handle more responsibilities. To get into their good books, a fourth Engineer for example, can always come up and assist the Third when the generators are being overhauled or look into more of Third Engineer’s duties likewise. But it is also vital that the Fourth Engineer doesn’t shirk away from his current duties. 冲锋在前,主动自愿 -工作中积极主动地站出来,能帮助你获得更加丰富的经验。 勇敢地表达自己的观点与交流经验也可以帮助你更有效地开展自己的工作。管理层也一直在观望谁可以被委以更多重任。如何得到他们的青睐呢? 举个例子,在发电机全面检修时三管轮能够主动帮助二管轮或者分担他的部分其他工作。 当然,一个重要的前提是三管轮首先得做好自己目前岗位的工作。 4. Showcasing leadership – For persons aspiring to get higher ranks on board the ship, it is imperative to highlight one’s strengths and showcase professional leadership qualities. Professionalism at workplace is crucial for one’s success. To get into the Captain’s seat, the Chief Officer has to exhibit abilities to lead and motivate the crew members. He also has to be a team player, respect subordinates, and seed new ideas. A Captain’s profile is full of authority and responsibilities. The person hopeful to become one has to fully merge himself into the role for becoming a responsible leader. 展示领导才能- 立志在船得到提升的人,当务之急是要凸显自己的长处和展示专业的领导力素质。 工作上的专业度是对于成功至关重要, 大副需要具备领导和激励下属的能力,才能升任船长的职位,不但如此,他还必须具备团队精神,尊重下属,并且有创新精神。 希望争取到领导者的岗位,就必须让自己迅速进入角色,最终真正成为一名恪尽职守领导者。 5. Building good interpersonal relations and managing your superiors – It is very noteworthy to build up good personal relations with colleagues, subordinates and of course the superiors. Overall, a good professional image always plays a key role when the management is making decisions for a promotion. 维护良好的人际关系,甚至管理你的上级。 建立与同事、下级以及上级领导之间的良好关系至关重要。总的来说,良好的专业的职场表现是管理层决定是否晋升的关键要素之一。 6. Learn new things each day – Learn every day! Life teaches us something that we never thought existed and that too constantly. One must always improve one’s personality and profile by learning newer things and to do so have the right aptitude. Be it a junior officer who is ready to take on whatever comes to get a level higher or an engineering officer who is ready to take on the next senior position, keeping one updated to the latest skills and techniques will only help in improving one’s proficiency. Leave on vacation is no longer a bed of roses. It will be the right time to upgrade yourself with knowledge. 学习新事物- 积年累月,笃学不倦! 生活告诉我们,生活总是不断地带给我们出人意料的新鲜事,我们必须通过不断学习新事物改善自己的性格,培养和提升自己的能力。 尤其是即将进入高一级岗位的操作级船员,只有不断学习最新的技术和技能才能进一步提升工作的熟练度。 休假也并不意味着你可以躺在自己的安乐窝里, 何不利用这个机会更新自己的知识。 7. Maintain a good track record – Past performance records are always looked at when a company look for promotion candidates in their fleet. 保持良好的表现记录- 当公司在考虑是否提升员工时,过往的表现记录将作为其中一个考量标准。 8. Being a self-starter – One should try and recurrently surpass expectations on board ships by taking up professional challenges and turning them into positive and effective outcomes. Staying within an organization and becoming a successful ‘achiever’ requires one to have the right attitude, dedication to work and a will to succeed. 善于自我激励- 在船上遇到难题和挑战时,必须尝试从危机中找到转机,得到正面并且有效的结果产出,达到甚至超越期待值。 在团队中要想表现卓越必须态度端正,兢兢业业,誓在必得。 9. Think like the Next Rank – Many did not do well in their promotion interview as they still think and react to questions as if they are still in their current rank. If you are being interviewed for promotion as a Chief Officer, you must think like a Chief Officer and not answer questions like a Second Officer. 假设自己被升职一样思考问题- 很多人在面试的时候表现并不理想,是因为他们仍然把自己放在现有的岗位上来思考问题。 试想下如果你在面试提升大副,你必须站在大副的立场上来回答问题,而不是二副。 These are some of the tried and tested methods to climb the hierarchy level on ships but do remember the ingredients of the correct Attitude and Mindset. 这些只是一些经过尝试和验证过有助于船上晋升的方式方法,但是请记住正确的态度和心态的组成要素。 |
