断送职业生涯的小事

That They Are Job Hunting

你在找工作

When I was a kid, I told my baseball coach I was quitting in two weeks. For the next two weeks, I found myself riding the bench. It got even worse after those two weeks when I decided to stay, and I became“the kid who doesn't even want to be here.”I was crushed, but it was my own fault; I told him my decision before it was certain.

当年我还是个小孩子的时候，我对棒球队的教练说自己打算在两周内退队。结果在接下来的两周里我发现自己只能坐冷板凳。两周之后，当我改主意决定留下来的时候，情况变得更加糟糕，我变成了“那个甚至不想再来这里的孩子”。我痛苦万分，但这是我自己的错;是因为在我没有拿定主意之前，就把自己的决定告诉了教练。

The same thing happens when you tell people that you're job hunting. Once you reveal that you're planning to leave, you suddenly become a waste of everyone's time. There's also the chance that your hunt will be unsuccessful, so it's best to wait until you've found a job before you tell anyone. Otherwise, you will end up riding the bench.

当你告诉别人你在找工作的时候，同样的事情就会发生。一旦你表明，你正计划离职的时候，你突然间就变成了在浪费大家的时间。你在求职中有可能会遭遇失败，所以最好是你已经拿到工作邀请函之后再去告诉别人。否则，你最后又得坐冷板凳。
