求職者必看 四個(gè)小問題,讓你了解你的經(jīng)理
Four Questions to Ask a Potential Manager
向未來經(jīng)理提出的四個(gè)問題
Happiness on the job sometimes comes down to one person: Your manager.
在工作上是否能夠獲得快樂有時(shí)候是由一個(gè)人決定的,那就是:你的經(jīng)理
Your manager can matter more than money, title or benefits. People don't always quit jobs, they sometimes quit bosses. Many workers leave a position because they're unhappy with their bosses.
你的經(jīng)理能夠決定的事情不止是你的工資,職位或福利。人們不會(huì)總是因?yàn)楣ぷ鬓o職,而是因?yàn)樯纤。很多人離開一個(gè)職位是因?yàn)楹蜕纤鞠嗵幉缓谩?/p>
On the other hand, if you genuinely like and respect your boss, your job can be rewarding, fulfilling and even fun. But how can you ensure that you and your potential boss will get along?
另一方面,如果你從心底喜歡、尊敬你的上司,你的工作就會(huì)變得值得付出,你會(huì)從中獲得滿足感,甚至快樂。但是你怎么確定你和你將來的上司能夠相處好呢?
While there are no guarantees, you can often recognize a boss who's right for you -- if you ask the right questions.
雖然并沒有百分之百的保證,但是,如果你向未來的雇主提問以下問題的話,你可以知道一位上司是否適合你。
The Ideal Employee
理想的員工
Do you want to know what your potential manager will expect from you?
你想知道潛在雇主對(duì)你有什么期望嗎?
Ask her, "What's your ideal employee like?"
問她"你心目中的理想員工是什么樣的呢?"
If her ideal employee works long hours on a regular basis, expect to do the same.
如果她心目中的理想員工是在正常上班時(shí)間之外還長(zhǎng)時(shí)間加班,那就要做好這樣做的準(zhǔn)備。
If her ideal employee is someone who never questions procedure, don't plan to arrive and immediately implementnew ideas.
如果她心目中的理想員工是永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)對(duì)程序質(zhì)疑,那你就不要妄想剛進(jìn)公司就可以實(shí)施新的想法。
If her ideal employee works independently, rest assured that you won't be micro-managed.
如果她心目中的理想員工是可以自己獨(dú)立工作,那么你就會(huì)知道在接下來的工作中你不會(huì)時(shí)刻被監(jiān)視著。
You're likely to be happier on the job if you and your potential manager have similar working styles. After all, everyone deserves a manager who thinks that they're the ideal employee.
如果你的未來經(jīng)理和你有相同的工作習(xí)慣,那么你在這份工作上獲得快樂的可能性就更大。畢竟,每個(gè)人都值得擁有一位認(rèn)為他們是理想員工的經(jīng)理。
The Skinny on the Staff
與員工相處的細(xì)節(jié)
You can tell a lot about your potential manager from his staff.
從他手下的人員那里你可以知道很多關(guān)于未來經(jīng)理的事情。
Ask him, "Can you tell me about the people I'd be working with? How long have you worked with them?"
問他:"可以請(qǐng)您講講我即將要共事的職員嗎?您和他們一起工作多久了?"
Pay attention to how well your potential boss seems to know his staff. Can he list their individual accomplishments? Is he proud of them?
要注意你未來的經(jīng)理了解他的員工到什么程度。他是否能夠例舉出他們的成就?是否以他們?yōu)榘?
Note his tone and energy when he talks about his team. Does he sound upbeat and positive? Or is there a hint of frustrationor disappointment in his voice?
注意他在說到他的團(tuán)隊(duì)時(shí)的語(yǔ)調(diào)和神態(tài)。他的聲音聽起來是否是積極樂觀的?又或者是他的聲音里暗含著失望和挫敗的感覺?
Also note how long his staff has worked with him. High turnover can be a red flag, and happy employees are more likely to stay put.
另外也要注意他和其團(tuán)隊(duì)一起工作了多久。高頻率的人員流動(dòng)可能是一種紅色警示,快樂的員工都會(huì)選擇留在同一個(gè)職位上。
Results and Rewards
結(jié)果和獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)
Do you want to excel on the job? If so, then you need to know how a potential manager defines excellence.
你是否想在工作上做到最好?如果是的話,那么你就需要了解一位未來的經(jīng)理是如何定義這個(gè)"最好"的。
Ask her, "How do you measure success on the job?"
問他"您怎么評(píng)測(cè)工作上的成功?"
You may be accountable to complete projects to deadline and under budget. Or perhaps you'll need to reach a certain benchmarkin your performance, for example a dollar value in revenue or a percentage of satisfied customers.
你可能要負(fù)責(zé)在期限之內(nèi)以既定的預(yù)算完成各項(xiàng)任務(wù)。又或者你的工作表現(xiàn)要達(dá)到某個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn),比如說賺到多少美元或贏得多少百分比的客戶滿意度。
You should also ask about the typical career path for an employee who successfully meets his goals. After all, you want to work for a manager who recognizes and rewards excellence.
你應(yīng)該向經(jīng)理詢問一位已成功達(dá)到其工作目標(biāo)的某位員工的典型職業(yè)道路。畢竟,你想為一名賞識(shí)并嘉獎(jiǎng)優(yōu)秀表現(xiàn)的經(jīng)理工作。
A Problem Solved
解決的一個(gè)難題
Sooner or later, a problem will arise. And you need to know how a potential manager will handle it.
遲早都會(huì)遇到難題的。而你需要知道你的未來經(jīng)理是否有能力處理。
Ask him, "What's your approach to solving problems?"
問他"您解決問題有哪些方法?"
Knowing how a potential manager solves problems can give you insight into his management style. Does he prefer to take charge and make a decision independently? Does he delegate the decision to a staff member? Or does he favor a more collaborative style of problem solving?
了解一位潛在經(jīng)理是如何解決問題的能夠讓你知曉他的管理方式。他是否選擇獨(dú)立承擔(dān),做出決策?他是否將這個(gè)問題交給團(tuán)隊(duì)中的下屬去處理?又或者他更傾向于用合作的方式來解決問題?
Finally, keep in mind that a potential boss' overall attitude toward answering questions can be very telling about his management style. If he's open to questions and answers thoughtfully, he's likely also open to exploring and improving his working relationships. And that's one quality that makes for a great manager.
最后要記住,你能從一位潛在雇主對(duì)回答這些問題的總體態(tài)度中知曉他的管理方式。如果他很愿意接受這些問題,并仔細(xì)地回答你,那么他也就更加愿意去探索,改善工作關(guān)系。而這正是一位杰出經(jīng)理的必備品質(zhì)。
