专业升职术：这样奋斗才有意义

 　　If you’ve put in great work at your company, but there’s no next rung on the ladder in sight, you’re not alone.

　　如果你在公司里投入了很多，但眼前看不到升职的希望，这种情况不是发生在你一个人身上。

　　Laura Poisson, a vice¹ president at Boston-based career development firm ClearRock, offers these tips:

　　波士顿职业发展公司的副总裁劳拉-泊松提供了如下建议：

　　1. Contribute more directly to the company’s most significant strategic goals. The few promotions³ that are happening right now are happening, well, where the money is made. If you find yourself separate from that, ask to work on a project that puts you in a position where you can either make or save money for the business.

　　1. 更直接为公司最重要的战略目标做贡献。如今为数不多的晋升都发生在为公司带来利润的岗位。如果你发现自己和这些职位无关，就要求做能为公司赚钱或省钱的项目。

　　2. Explicitly⁴ discuss your career goals with your boss. This includes planning for who would take your place if you get promoted or switch positions. You may need to target a new candidate to mentor⁵.

　　2. 开诚布公和老板讨论你的职业目标。这包括计划如果你得到晋升或跳槽时谁来代替你的位置。你可能需要指导新徒弟。

　　3. Figure out what you want. If a promotion² is out of the picture for the time being, think about what else would keep you around-like flex⁶ time, more vacation days or additional training.

　　3. 找出你想要的。如果现在还没希望晋升，想想你还要什么--比如弹性工作时间、更多假期或额外培训。

　　4. Assess whether it’s worth it to stay. Maybe you’ve been telling yourself to wait it out because your company is a good place to work, but there are a lot of good places to work. Moving on could help give you a much-needed boost of confidence.

　　4. 评估公司是否值得你留下来。也许你一直告诉自己再等等，因为这是家不错的公司，但好公司何其多。换个环境可以给你需要的信心。
