WORKING OUT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
As an adult, one of the first questions you are asked when meeting someone new is, “What do you do?” This is because your career is a very important part of who you are. The career you have 1._______________(定义你的生活), and so taking time to think about it is an essential exercise for young people.
The best time to start thinking about possible careers is while you are still at school, before you make any choices about your further education. This, however, is not always easy. Some people know what they want to do from a young age, but many others just have a few ideas 2._______________(想法来回横跳) in their heads.

You don’t want to look back in years to come and say, “I wish I had thought more about what I really wanted to do.”
There are many different kinds of career aptitude tests. Some ask questions about your personal interests and attitudes. Others focus more on asking you to rate different kinds of work scenarios, like 6.____________(担任/作为) a librarian or a lawyer. Of course, while completing these sorts of tests, it is very important to be honest—and don’t worry—there are no right or wrong answers.

VI. 话题语篇泛读
The secret to career success may well be off to the side
The case for being more like a crab
THE CONVENTIONAL language of career success moves in only one direction: up. You scale the career ladder or climb the greasy pole. If you do well, you have a rapid ascent. And if you really succeed, you reach the top. No one ever rings home to share the news that they have reached a plateau. But there is another type of career trajectory. Sideways moves, to jobs that don’t involve a promotion or even necessarily a pay rise, can be a boon to employees and organisations alike. A study carried out by Donald Sull of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his co-authors in 2021 found that the availability of lateral career opportunities has a marked impact on employee retention. Their research found that chances to move sideways were two and a half times more important than pay as a predictor of workers’ willingness to stay at a firm. Another paper, by Xin Jin of the University of South Florida and Michael Waldman of Cornell University, concluded that lateral moves did not just benefit organisations: employees who experienced them were more likely to be promoted and to enjoy higher wage growth later in their careers than employees who did not. You can move up by first moving sideways.
Lateral moves and good management seem to go hand in hand. A recent paper by Virginia Minni of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, a British think-tank, looked at job moves within a big multinational over a period of ten years. She found that the arrival of a high-flying boss (who had got the job early in their career) was associated with a jump in intra-company transfers, both horizontal and vertical, among employees. Better bosses seem to be good at sorting people into roles that suit them. This process again results in higher pay over time for employees who move sideways; it is also associated with higher profits.
The crab-like career has other things going for it beyond better matches between people and jobs. One is that it is a good way to learn new things. As hiring processes increasingly emphasize skills, recruiters are likely to put comparatively less emphasis on CVs and comparatively more weight on what you know. Messrs Jin and Waldman reason that the higher echelons of companies tend to be populated by people whose capabilities are broad, not deep; that may explain why lateral moves are good for promotion prospects. Along with skills come contacts: transferring between teams usually means building a bigger internal network.
Lateral moves can also be a wonderful cure for boredom. There is nothing to fear in a bit of tedium, but people will do almost anything to avoid it in large doses. In an experiment by Chantal Nederkoorn of Maastricht University and her co-authors, participants were asked to watch dull, sad and neutral film clips and given the ability to self-administer electric shocks as they did so. Those watching monotonous films shocked themselves more often and at greater intensity. (Films by Wes Anderson were presumably too dangerous to be shown for this reason.)
This need for stimulation pervades the workplace. Surveys consistently show that great chunks of the workforce find their jobs tedious. Stephan Meier of Columbia Business School, who is writing a book on employee-centric organisations, reckons that one big source of motivation for workers is having “just right tasks” that are within their capabilities but stretch them in new ways. Promotions offer fresh challenges but you can also easily get stuck waiting for a vacancy to open up above you. Looking to the side affords more options.
Opening the door to more lateral moves is partly a practical matter. Some bigger employers have “internal talent marketplaces” in which employees can find and apply for jobs elsewhere in the company; smaller firms have fewer such opportunities to offer. But participating in a side-project is another way for workers to shake things up and learn new skills.In a poll of American workers for Colorado State University Global, almost half said that they would feel more motivated if they were part of a new process or project.
Embracing sideways movement also requires the right attitude. Lots of managers like to hoard talent, at the expense of workers and firms. And moving horizontally still has less cachet than moving upwards. It would help if career success had a different vocabulary: across or out, say, or the meteoric scuttle.
关于职业成功的传统说法只有一个方向:向上晋升。你要么攀登职业梯子,要么抓住那根滑腻的杆子向上爬。如果你工作表现出色,你就会迅速晋升。如果你真的成功了,你就到达了顶峰。但没有人会打电话回家分享自己已经到顶的消息。但还有另一种职业轨迹。横向调动,即不涉及晋升甚至不一定加薪的职位,这对员工和组织来说都是一种福音。2021年,麻省理工学院的唐纳德·苏尔和他的合著者进行了一项研究,结果发现横向职业机会对员工留存率具有显著影响。他们的研究发现,在预测员工是否愿意留在一家公司时,横向调动机会的重要性是薪酬的2.5倍。南佛罗里达大学的辛金和康奈尔大学的迈克尔·沃尔德曼撰写的另一篇论文得出的结论是,横向调动不仅对组织有利:而且经历过横向调动的员工在职业生涯后期更有可能获得晋升和享受更高的工资增长。相比之下,那些没有经历过横向调动的员工则不然。因此,先横向调动,再向上晋升,也是一种可行的职业发展路径。
横向调动和优秀的管理似乎总是相伴而行。英国智库财政研究所的弗吉尼亚·米妮最近发表了一项论文,她研究了一家大型跨国公司在10年间的职位变动情况。她发现,一位成功的领导者(在职业生涯早期就获得高位)的上任,与员工在公司内部横向和纵向调动的增加密切相关。优秀的领导者似乎擅长将员工分配到适合的岗位上。随着时间的推移,这一过程又会使横向调动的员工获得更高的薪酬;同时也与公司更高的利润呈相关关系。
螃蟹式横向调动除了能更好地实现人职匹配外,还有其他一些优点。其中一项优势在于,这是学习新事物的好方法。由于招聘过程越来越注重技能,招聘人员可能会相对减少对简历的重视,而更加看重应聘者所掌握的知识。金和沃尔德曼认为,公司高层往往由全面发展型人才而非专精深人才组成,这或许解释了为什么横向调动有利于未来晋升。同时,随着技能的积累,也能带来人脉的拓展:团队间转岗通常意味着建立更广泛的内部人脉网络。
横向调动也是消除无聊的良药。适度的无聊并不可怕,但如果无聊感过重,人们会不惜一切代价去消除无聊。在马斯特里赫特大学的尚塔尔·内德科恩及她的合著者进行的一项实验中,研究人员让参与者观看乏味、悲伤和中性的电影片段,同时允许他们自行给自己施加电击。结果发现,观看单调电影片段的参与者会更频繁、更强烈地给自己施加电击。(出于这个原因,韦斯·安德森的电影不适合在这项实验中播放。)
这种对刺激的需求在职场中普遍存在。多项调查一致表明,大量员工认为自己的工作乏味无聊。哥伦比亚商学院的史蒂芬·迈耶正在撰写一本关于以员工为中心的商业书,他认为,激励员工的一个重要因素是安排做“恰到好处的工作任务”,这些任务既在他们的能力范围之内,又能以新的方式拓展他们的能力。晋升确实可以带来新的挑战,但人们也容易陷入等待更高职位空缺的困境。相比之下,横向调动则提供了更多的选择。
要实现更多的横向调动,某种程度上是一个实际操作问题。一些大型企业设有“内部人才市场”,员工可以在其中寻找并申请公司内其他职位;而小公司则很少有这样的机会。但是,参与副项目也是员工改变现状、学习新技能的另一种方式。在科罗拉多州立大学对美国员工进行的调查中,近一半的人表示,如果他们参与新的流程或项目,他们会感到更有动力。
接受横向调动还需要正确的态度。许多管理者喜欢囤积人才,但这种做法往往会牺牲员工和公司的利益。而且,横向调动仍然不如向上晋升那样受到推崇。如果职业成功用不同的词汇来描述,那就有助于改变这一现状,别样词汇如“跨界”或“向外拓展”,甚至是“飞速跨越”。
