在经济学人的Bartleby专栏里读到一篇和工作相关的文章——CareerTok. 这篇文章讨论了年轻求职者使用TikTok(称为"CareerTok")作为职业发展工具的趋势。特别是Z世代,重视工作场所的透明度、支持和团结,许多人在平台上分享他们的求职经历和建议。这类型的内容容易引起求职者的共鸣并可能会引发病毒式传播。 CareerTok带来了一些好的成果,如公司在被在线指责后改进了他们的做法。但也存在一些挑战,如潜在的法律问题和一些来自老一代的反对声音。 在Tiktok上,除了有CareerTok,还有像BookTok这类的主题标签。 对于Z世代来说,TikTok成了新的LinkedIn. 其实不管是哪个平台,似乎都绕不开要建立社交圈子,链接更多的人。“经营”LinkedIn账号,链接“精英”,其实是个“不小的工程”。 文中提到越来越多的美国人没有依靠家人和朋友,而是转向TikTok寻求建议。这种现象的出现,算是符合了时代发展的趋势吧,只是不知道这是否只是昙花一现。 文中有很多和工作职场相关的词汇,如: perks: something extra that someone receives in addition to regular pay for doing a job(工资外的)额外收入,津贴 — usually plural通常用复数 paycheque: the money that you regularly earn: a wage or salary薪金;工资。美式英语用paycheck. lay off: to stop employing (someone) because there is not enough work(因开工不足)解雇,使下岗 更多好词好句,用于口语和写作素材: 1.Rather than relying on family and friends, a growing number of Americans are turning to TikTok in search of advice that will help them climb those all-important first steps up the career ladder.
