求職者必看 四個小問題，讓你了解你的經理

　　Four Questions to Ask a Potential Manager

　　向未來經理提出的四個問題

　　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候是由一個人決定的，那就是：你的經理

　　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.

　　你的經理能夠決定的事情不止是你的工資，職位或福利。人們不會總是因為工作辭職，而是因為上司。很多人離開一個職位是因為和上司相處不好。

　　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，你的工作就會變得值得付出，你會從中獲得滿足感，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間之外還長時間加班，那就要做好這樣做的準備。

　　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不會對程序質疑，那你就不要妄想剛進公司就可以實施新的想法。

　　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立工作，那么你就會知道在接下來的工作中你不會時刻被監(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.

　　如果你的未來經理和你有相同的工作習慣，那么你在這份工作上獲得快樂的可能性就更大。畢竟，每個人都值得擁有一位認為他們是理想員工的經理。

　　The Skinny on the Staff

　　與員工相處的細節(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于未來經理的事情。

　　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隊時的語調和神態(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隊一起工作了多久。高頻率的人員流動可能是一種紅色警示，快樂的員工都會選擇留在同一個職位上。

       Results and Rewards

　　結果和獎勵

　　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理是如何定義這個"最好"的。

　　Ask her, "How do you measure success on the job?"

　　問他"您怎么評測工作上的成功?"

　　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.

　　你可能要負責在期限之內以既定的預算完成各項任務。又或者你的工作表現要達到某個標準，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.

　　你應該向經理詢問一位已成功達到其工作目標的某位員工的典型職業(yè)道路。畢竟，你想為一名賞識并嘉獎優(yōu)秀表現的經理工作。

　　A Problem Solved

　　解決的一個難題

　　Sooner or later, a problem will arise. And you need to know how a potential manager will handle it.

　　遲早都會遇到難題的。而你需要知道你的未來經理是否有能力處理。

　　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。他是否選擇獨立承擔，做出決策?他是否將這個問題交給團隊中的下屬去處理?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，并仔細地回答你，那么他也就更加愿意去探索，改善工作關系。而這正是一位杰出經理的必備品質。
