接受一份工作前应考虑的四件事

这份工作真的是你想做的？

You've gottenan offer for a position you applied to. There must have been some reason youapplied for the position. Perhaps it was for a company you wanted to work for,or maybe you just wanted a job in the industry and it was what was available.

你已经收到了之前所应聘的公司发来的邀请函。当初应聘时，你肯定是基于一定的考虑的。也许那是一家你一直想要在里面工作的公司，又也许你只是想在那个行业谋得一份工作，然后正好那里又缺人。

An importantconsideration to make before you accept a job offer is whether the position isreally what you want to do. Why were you interested in this position? Do youneed a job as soon as possible and are willing to take anything? Are you takingthe job just because you have done a similar role before but want to move onfrom it?

在你决定去上班之前应该想好：那份工作你是真的想要的？为什么你会对那份工作有兴趣？是因为想要尽快找到一份工作呢？还是你愿意去做那份工作？仅仅是因为你之前做过类似的工作呢？还是因为想要尝试另一份新工作？

The reasons fortaking a job will depend on your desires and your circumstances, but these arepoints worth considering. It may be OK to take a job that isn’t something youreally want to do right now, if it allows you to get into a better position inthe future.

That bringsus to the next question…

接受一份工作是要基于你的喜好以及你所处的环境，这几点都应该做到深思熟虑。如果你现在决定要做的工作不是你一直想要做的，但它能让你在将来有很不错的发展，可能那也是很好的。

那么我们进入下个问题吧…

接受这份邀请函时要考虑它是否能实现你的既定目标，考虑这份工作是否是在你通往你目标的同一方向？是否有助于提高你自己，以实现你的既定目标？如果答案都是否定的，那么你当初是基于什么原因投递了简历呢？

Even thoughit may not be the ideal job you want, there are jobs we need to do along theway to improve our skills to the level they need to be at, and to gain theexperience we need.
