In 1989, Charles Handy wrote a book called "The Age of Unreason." And in it, he predicted that carreers would be a portfolio of different jobs，rather than one position that lasted for decades. Guess what? He was right. In 2007, the New York Times recognized that when it comes to careers, change is the only constant. If jumping off track once was stigmatized, it now has cachet. Career change has cachet! At that time, they predicted that people would change jobs an averate of three times. But by 2010, the number had jumped to seven. By 2015, the number had jumped to 10. And in March of this year (2018), the US Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated 12 to 15 carees per person. 15 careers per person! That's right, if you haven't changed job not just once but a few times, you're behind the times! Changing jobs can be a strength. It can be an asset in your professional development. It can show that you're flexible, adaptable, resilient, and that you have creative problem-solving avilities. 【译文】敞开心扉，准备好接受改变。1098年，查尔斯·汉迪写了一本名为《非理性时代》的书。在这本书中，他预测人们的职业生涯将会由不同的工作组成，而不是在一个岗位上工作几十年。猜猜怎么着？他说对了。2007年《纽约时报》发现在职业生涯中，只有变化是唯一不变的元素。如果说以前脱离职业轨道是耻辱的，那么现在这是一种优秀的标志！当时，他们预测人们平均会换三次工作。但是到了2010年，这个数字上升到了7。到2015年，该数字涨到了10。今年（2018年）三月，美国劳工统计局估计，每个人会从事12至15种工作。每个人从事15种工作！没错，如果你没有换过工作，或者只换过一次而不是多次，那么你就落伍了！换工作会有一个优势，它可以成为你职业发展中的一项资产。换工作能够显示出你灵活、适应力强、有韧性，而且你具有能够创造性地解决问题的能力。 In Handy's words, change, after all is only another word for growth, a synonym for learning. We can all do it, and here's the Key: Enjoy it if we want to。Which leads us to step number 2: Embrace the experiences, ditch the titles. Today, a successful career is not based on a single job title, the sme job in different locations. It's the process of diligently developing and then quickly adapting a set of skills to answer life's challenges. I might not have been Laura, the lawer every place we lived. But in every location, i served as a talented writer, a persuasive speaker, an advocate，for those who needed my voice. These were the common threads that tied my professional experiences together. So ask yourself, what are the skills you consistently use in everything that you end up doing? Therein lies your strength, your story, your path to success. Author Jeff Goins wrote the "Art of Work" recently. It's a really great book you should read it. In it, he encourages you to think about your work as an artist's portfolio, where each piece stands on its own and its own beautiful work, but when compiled into a portfolio, clearly illustrates the progress that the artist has made, the growth that she has come through in the years. In your work, your careers, each semingly unrelated experience stands on its own, but can also be viewed as a contribution to a collective whole, a beautiful collage of a career that you are creating. By ditching the titles and embracing the experiences, you expand your employment options, and you can better enjoy the journey. 【译文】用汉迪的话说，毕竟改变知识成长的另一个表达，是学习的代名词。我们都可以做到，关键是：如果我们想要改变的话就要去享受改变。这就引出了第二步：放弃头衔，拥抱经历。如今，成功的职业生涯并非建立在单一的工作头衔上，或者不同地点的同一工作。成功的职业生涯是一个努力发展并迅速适应一系列技能以应对生活挑战的过程。在我生活过的地方，我可能并非一直是律师劳拉。但是在每个地方，不管是作为一名作者，一名具有说服力的演说者，还是一位倡导者，我都在帮助那些需要我为其发声的人。这些都是将我的职业经历联系在一起的共同点。所以问问你自己，在你做的每一件事中有哪些技能是你一直会用到的？这就是你的力量，你的故事，你的成功之路。最近，作家杰夫·戈因斯撰写了《工作的艺术》。这是一本非常好的书，你应该读一读。在这本书中，作者鼓励你将自己的工作视为艺术家的作品集，其中的每件作品都独立存在，并且都是精美的作品，但是当他们被编入一个作品集时，这个作品集能够清楚地展示艺术家的进步和在过去所经历的成长。在你的工作，你的职业生涯中，每一个技能管理都独立存在，看似无关，但是它们也可以被视为对一个整体的贡献，被视为一个美丽的拼图，组成你正在创造的职业生涯。放弃头衔，拥抱工作经验，你就能拓宽自己的就业选择，你也能更好地享受职业生涯。 "But， okay Laura, how do we land a job?" Great question! And this is the Key, step number three: Make meaningful connections. All theroy and warm fuzzy felling aside, on a very practical level, creating real life connections through actual conversations，can enable and empower you to find success. Despite the plethora of internet-based job，boards that are out there, 85% of jobs are still filled by word of mouth by personal connection. Is it really a surprise that someone needs to know you，in order to recommend you, inorder to want to hire you? So plug-in! Not with devices, but with people. Askquestions, seek advice, tell the world what you want to do，so that when those opportunities arise, they think of you. Start today，go and have a coffee or get crazy, have an entire meal with someone whose job really intrigues you, someone whose activities interest you, some who you just think that you'd like to get to know better. Start a conversation，and if you're looking for a way to get that talk going, I've got a couple of great quesions that can start you on your road. When I meet new people I love to ask:"How did you come to be here?" And if you could do anyting, what would it be?” 【译文】"不过劳拉，我们该如何找到工作呢？" 好问题！而且这是个关键点，第三步：建立有意义的联系。抛开所有的理论和温暖模糊的感觉，在一个非常实际的层面上，通过实际的对话创造真正的生活联系，可以帮助你获得成功。尽管现在在互联网上有着非常多的求职网站，但是依旧与85%的工作是通过扣扣相传和人际关系来填补的。人们需要了解你才能推荐你，才会雇佣你，这一点真的让人意外吗？所以，开始求职吧！不要通过网站，而是通过人际关系。提出问题，寻求建议，告诉世界你想做什么，这样一来，机会出现的时候，他们才会想起你。从今天开始，去和拥有让你感兴趣的工作的人，和在进行让你感兴趣的活动的人，或者和你想要了解更多的人一起喝杯咖啡或者和他们吃顿饭。要和他们展开对话，如果你正在寻找一种方式帮你开展对话，我有几个很好的问题能够让你在对话时有个好的开始。当我遇到新朋友时，我喜欢问：“你是怎么来到这里的呢？" 如果你能够做任何事情的话，你想做些什么呢？“ 改变是成长的另一个表达，想要改变就要享受改变。敞开心扉，接受改变；放弃头衔，拥抱经历；建立有意义的连接，可以帮助你更好地适应新的环境。   ⭐ 若喜欢"卓越星学堂"的分享，记得点亮在看哦... 心里藏着小星星，生活才能亮晶晶⭐ |
