job 相关习语留存

已有 692 次阅读2009-6-5 20:45 |

1、If a job is worth doing it is worth doing well :
如果一件事情是值得做的就应该把它做好
 
2、the patience of Job:
据《圣经》记载,希伯来人的首领之一 Job,信仰十分虔诚,为人正直无私。
他以极大的忍耐力经受了上帝安排的种种考验和磨难。
因此,《圣经》中有提到?You have heard of the patience of Job...,你们听到过约伯的忍耐......
当然,圣徒的忍耐力可不是一般的喔!
 
3、 snow job
Snow job就是用拍马屁、夸张等手法来欺骗或说服别人。我们来举一个例子:在美国,人人都要买各种各样的保险;健康、房子、汽车保险等。那些保险公司的推销员靠着他们三寸不烂之舌向顾客推销,说的天花乱坠,你一不小心就会上当。 下面这个人就差点儿上了当:
"This guy kept telling me how much I'd save with his company. But when I read the policy he was selling, I realized he was giving me a snow job. So I told him thanks but no thanks."
这句话的意思是:“这个人一再对我说,要是买他们公司的保险我会省多少钱。但是,当我看了他推销的保险政策后,我才明白他是在骗我。所以我告诉他,谢谢,我不要。”
几乎在生活各个方面,你都得十分小心不要上当。下面是一个人对竞选议员表示怀疑:
"That new man who's running for Congress makes a lot of promises what he'll do for the people. But I keep having this uneasy feeling that he's only giving us a snow job."
这句话的意思是:“那个刚参加竞选国会议员的人做了许多保证,说他以后要为公众做些什么事。但是,我总感到不安,觉得他只不过是在欺骗我们。”

re 5:

I believe more than half of the working population would agree that they currently work in jobs that they wouldn't call their favorite or dream careers.  Especially in the Asia context there usually is little or no career planning at the early stage of our life because our parents and their grand parents also did not get the choice when they were young. Our parents picked what the education that they think would suit their children and when they graduate they may get to work in careers that are available according to the economic environments.   Hence, many working professionals find themselves waking up to mid-career crisis, i.e. in their 30s or 40s they suddenly realize that they have invested in a large part of their adulthood working for the sake of working.  Some just resigned to that fate and do what they do until they retire but a small percentage who are brave enough would go through a mid-career change.  It is a brave move because it usually involve substantial sacrifices to move to another new career.  

Personally my current job is not my favorite too.  When I was younger I dreamt about working as an author, writing a variety of fairy tales, science fiction, adventure and horror stories.  Then I could work on my own and do not need to go to office, to deal with complicated office politics, etc.  However, the later is still secondary, the main reason is also because I belive I have good imagination and enjoy writing.

ps: I t seems that some replies were lost, so pity. I would give my opinion about it when i have rich time

7、The Right Way to Quit Your Job——write by lullaby

After the stressful process of looking for a new job while you're still employed, accepting an offer is a huge relief.
At last, you're free! You probably can't wait to share your good fortune with the world and tell your boss where she can shove that evil assignment she gave you last week.
You might think that since you're leaving, you don't have to worry what people think of you anymore. This is not the case. Unless you want to erase everything you've accomplished since you first accepted this job, your departure must be as strategic and deliberate as your arrival.
This starts with your resignation. Under no circumstances should you let on that you're leaving before you have a signed agreement and official start date from your new employer. If you jump the gun and blab to everyone and your job offer falls through, your best case scenario is that you've got egg on your face. The worst case, of course, is that your boss is insulted enough to fire you.
Here are some other suggestions for making a smooth exit:
? Tell your supervisor first: You want him to hear the news from you, not from someone else in your department.
? Give two weeks notice: Stay for the full period unless the company requests that you leave sooner.
? Be modest: Don't alienate your colleagues by bragging or chattering incessantly about your awesome new gig.
? Don't insult anyone or anything: Whether it's true or not, show that you regret leaving such wonderful people behind.
? Stay on top of your responsibilities: Remember that you're accountable for your work until 5 p.m. on your last day.
? Continue to adhere to office protocol: You worked hard for that corporate persona, so leave them with a lasting impression of professionalism.
? Review the employee handbook: Understand what you're entitled to regarding benefits and compensation for unused sick or vacation days.
? Organize your files: Make it easy for your colleagues to find materials so that they can transition your workload seamlessly and won't need to call you at your new job.
? Do a great job training your replacement: These people have been paying your salary. You owe it to them to leave your job in good hands.
? Don't take anything that doesn't belong to you: This includes office supplies and work products that were not developed by you personally.
Many companies request that departing employees do exit interviews with HR. The person conducting the interview, who probably doesn't know you from a hole in the wall, will usually expect you to divulge why you are leaving and how you feel about your experience with the company.
When it comes to exit interviews, the general rule is: If you don't have anything nice to say, lie. Stick to official business as much as possible, and if you must provide constructive criticism, proceed with tact and caution. While it may be tempting to use the meeting as a forum to spill your guts about the company's difficult personalities and insufferable policies, don't give in. Once you've made the decision to leave, airing your grievances won't do you a drop of good and the risk of offending people is way too great.
The most important thing to remember when leaving a job is to fireproof your bridges. It's a smaller world than you think and you never know when you're going to need these people again. And who knows? Maybe you won't even like your new job and will want to come back someday.
At the very least, you want to be able to count on at least one person at the company to serve as a reference for the future. During your last few weeks, do everything you can to leave behind a squeaky clean reputation. Be conscientious and thorough as you're wrapping up or transitioning projects. Even if you're leaving because you can't stand your department, act like a team player and keep your negativity to a minimum.
If your colleagues take you out for lunch or throw you a going-away party, congratulate yourself. It means you've handled your departure in exactly the right way.

8、'I Hate My Job -- Now What?!' write by lullaby 

'I Hate My Job -- Now What?!'
Dawn Papandrea, ClassesUSAPrint Email IM Bookmark del.icio.us Digg
Whether it's a nightmare boss, a stagnant position in a dead-end company, or an unfulfilled career dream, it may be time for you to stop complaining and do something. Follow these steps, courtesy of Tony Lee, editor-in-chief of CareerJournal.com, and find a job you love.
Step 1: Assess your situation, review your strengths, and dig in your heels.
"To even think you won't have roadblocks is unrealistic, so number one -- accept them," says Andrea Kay, career consultant, speaker, and author of several books including "Greener Pastures: How to Find a Job in Another Place." Once you've done that, take time out to reflect, she adds. "Don't rush to develop a new resume. That's the mistake almost everyone makes. Instead, reflect on what isn't working, what's not right about where you are, what your greatest strengths are, and what you love to do," says Kay.
Step 2: Explore your options, set goals, and make plans to develop yourself to fit your new career path.
Kay emphasizes the power of communication during this stage. "The best way to find a new job is to hold meaningful conversations with people," she advises. "Talk about your career with people who can guide you and refer you." Networking with some old friends is how Cameron Herald eventually became the vice president of operations for 1800GotJunk, a junk removal company in Vancouver that serves North America. Prior to that, he literally broke down from job-induced stress. His health literally depended on a change in his work lifestyle. His advice? "Take a look and find the companies that are well-respected in the industry. See which ones are ranked as good employers." Of course, he says, there may be some bumps in the road. "Maybe you'll have to get a part time job on weekends at Starbucks to pay the rent. Or maybe you'll have to use an executive recruiter to help me find a new position." Nonetheless, he adds, "every single obstacle can be beaten."
Step 3: Acquire new skills by returning to school and/or volunteering.
For freelance writer Stephanie Jo Klein, it was volunteer work with the Newswomen's Club of New York -- she was the club's membership vice president in 2003 -- that sparked an entrepreneurial endeavor. When gift bags she created for the club's annual Front Page Awards gala were so well received by the journalists in attendance, she decided to start Klein Creative Communications, a promotional gift bag creation business based in New York City. "If you're trying to figure out where you want to go, volunteering is a good thing to do," she affirms. Stephanie further developed her skills via New York University's School of Continuing and Professional Studies, in its meeting, conference, and event management certificate program. "I got the course guide and I couldn't decide what I wanted to take next," she says. "Just meeting the people and the speakers was a great networking experience."
Step 4: Do something you enjoy.
Ultimately, it's up to you to find a job in which you can be happy. "When you notice yourself not feeling challenges, not feeling energized, and watching the clock, start taking note," says Kay. Once your motivation to move on outweighs your fear, she says, you're ready to make the leap. Fifty-nine percent of college-educated professionals in New York City say they expect to have three or more different careers over their lifetimes, according to New York University's School of Continuing and Professional Studies.

ClassesUSA, one of the Web's leading higher-education portals, enables professionals to find an online or career-specific, campus-based degree or certificate program best suited to advancing their personal and professional goals.

9、Money Is Not the Most Important Aspect of a Job ——“Fancy-Teng

When deciding what career to pursue, and which specific job to take, there are many things for us to consider. They include the work location and environment, chances for advancement, and of course the salary. Some would say that money is the most important aspect of a job, but I do not believe this is true. In my opinion, there are some other aspects which are more important.
First of all, we should engage in work in a field which interests us. Then, we will enjoy our work more and not dread going to our job every day. A large salary is not worth the daily discomfort of doing something we do not enjoy. Second, our job should give us a sense of personal satisfaction. When we feel that what we are doing is important and worthwhile, how much money we make is not as important. Finally, our job should allow us to live a balanced life. It should not be so time-consuming that we have no time for family, friends and personal interests. Nor should it give us so much pressure that we cann‘t relax in our free time.

The three aspects above, in my opinion, are more important than money when considering which job to take. There is no denying that money is important, but it is not the only important thing in life. Certainly, money does not always lead to happiness. Therefore, it should not be the only consideration when evaluating a job opportunity.

                         金钱不是工作中最重要的部分
决定从事什么职业或做什么特定的工作时,我们要考虑的事情很多,包括工作地点与环境、升迁的机会,当然还有薪水。有些人认为,钱是工作中最重要的部分,但是我并不同意这样的说法。在我看来,有其他方面比钱更重要。
首先,我们应该投身于自己感兴趣的领域,这样我们才能更喜欢我们的工作,而不会每天都害怕去上班。再多的薪水也不值得我们去做不喜欢的工作,让自己每天都不舒服。其次,工作应该让我们有成就感。当我们觉得自己的工作很重要而且很有价值时,金钱的多寡就没那么重要了。最后,工作应该能让我们过着均衡的生活。我们的时间不应该被工作完全占据,让我们没有时间跟家人和朋友相处,或无法发展个人兴趣。工作也不能有过大的压力,使我们连在空闲时间也无法放松。
依我之见,当我们考虑从事何种工作时,以上所列举的三个方面就比金钱重要。不可否认,金钱是非常重要的,但它并不是生命中唯一重要的东西。当然,金钱也未必会带来快乐。因此,当我们在衡量工作机会时,不应该只考虑到金钱。
【注释】
aspect n. 方面
pursue v. 从事
specific adj. 特定的
advancement n. 晋升
first of all 首先
field n. 领域
dread v. 害怕
daily adj. 每天的
discomfort n. 不舒服
worthwhile adj. 值得的
balanced adj. 均衡的
time-consuming adj. 费时的
pressure n. 压力

There is no + V-ing …是不可能的

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The most important aspect of a job is the money a person earns. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

10、How to hunt for a good job?——“风起兮云飞扬

Then I am a graduate student who will graduate from university. So hunting for a good job is an urgent work for my nowly.

Then what should we do to increase the chance to have an interview ?

The following is my experience I got in the process of my hurting.

Firstly, I should take a sufficient prepration for my resume. The resume should emphasize the traits that you have to impress the reader who read your resume. The certification, the awards you got on campus, the level of the foreign language you master, the computer language and the degree i master it, are prefered. By the way, many multicompanies accept the resumes that handed in on the website they specify. And they filter the resume by the search engine. So the traits we list out should fit the keywords they will use in the search engine, such as the C/C++, Java, cet-6.

Secondly, the paper test should be focused on. It's the threshold we should pass to have an interview. So pick up the professional books and review the knowledge we have learn. More you reread , more chances you pass the paper test.

Thirldly, English inerview is the normal type the multicompanies take. No choice, just prepare for it. Suppose the questions they will ask you, write down the answer you will reply and read it until you can recite it fluently. Oral English is important.

Then at last, it's the time for you to sign the agreement with the target company when you pass the interview.

Good luck to all of us.

Hope all of us will get the proper position and company we want.
