对跳槽者的建议 疫情期间考虑跳槽的5个建议

疫情期间考虑跳槽的5个建议  

The future is uncertain at the best of times
but especially during a pandemic. It makes sense
then
to pursue a range of possible options
rather than sticking to one single vision
notes Herminia Ibarra
London Business School professor and author of "Act like a leader
think like a leader".
Some of those ideas may be more realistic than others
but that can open you up to new opportunities and keep you resilient to further change ahead.
"Even in happier times
career change is never a perfectly linear process. It's a necessarily messy journey of exploration
" she says.
她说：“即使在快乐的时光，职业变动也不是完美的直线上升过程。它是一个探索之旅，出现棘手情况是必然的。”
Career change
by its nature
is "liminal" — or existing beeen a past that is gone and a future that's uncertain. That can be an unsettling state
but it's also an important chance to process emotions and change.
"Downtime is crucial not only for replenishing the brain's stores of attention and motivation
but also for sustaining the cognitive processes that allow us to fully develop
” says Ibarra.
Indeed
neurological studies suggest making time for "inner business" can be more beneficial than pleting a list of self-improvement activities.
Developing new skills
knowledge and contacts are mon and important routes to career reinvention. Yet
rather than focusing on one specific project
try several to pare the pros and cons of each.
They may not all be directly applicable to your desired new career path
but they will help you find where your true strengths lie.
"The point is to do new and different work with new and different people
because that process represents an opportunity to learn about yourself
your preferences and dislikes
and the kinds of contexts and people that bring out the best in you
" says Ibarra.
A pandemic which requires social distancing is not a great moment for building your neork. But with more people than ever municating online
it could be a good chance to reconnect with old contacts too.
Studies suggest distant connections are often better placed to offer you new perspectives and honest advice than your nearest and dearest. However
they may also be less motivated to help you. Ibarra remends drawing on "dormant ties" — colleagues you were once close to but haven't been in contact with for three or so years.
A career change can feel like an inward-looking process. However
it's important to discuss it out with trusted parties and to clarify your ideas.
"Just the simple act of telling a story about what you want to do
or why you want a change
can clarify your thinking and propel you forward
by mitting you publicly to making a change
" Ibarra notes.
"In the end
when it es to reinventing your career in this time of crisis
remember this important point: The time to get going is now — but don't go it alone."
