If you're like many professionals, you daydream about leaving your
underwhelming job to find a more-fulfilling (or at least better-paying) one, but
you never do. Here are five reasons why you shouldn't put off your job search
one more day.
No. 1: You'll stress less 精神压力更小
These days, work and stress are synonymous. A 2007 survey by ComPsych
Corporation found stress is rampant in the workplace. Sixty percent of workers
said they have high levels of stress with symptoms of extreme fatigue and
feeling out of control. Another 33 percent said they have constant but
manageable stress. That's a lot of headaches.
What's the biggest cause of all this tension? The study cited "people
issues (人际问题)" as the No. 1 work stressor, followed by workload (工作量) and
work/life balance (工作/生活平衡). It's proven that stress can harm your mental and
physical health, so save yourself by finding a new job.
No. 2: You'll advance your career 事业的发展
Take the next step up that proverbial ladder. Workers may have more
negotiating power with employers than they think. Eighty-one percent of hiring
managers said it was difficult to find qualified candidates 12 months ago, and
91 percent said recruiting is equally or more challenging today, according to
the 2007 Employment Dynamics and Growth Expectations (EDGE) Report by
CareerBuilder.com and Robert Half International. More than half of hiring
managers who are having trouble recruiting cited a shortage of qualified
professionals as the primary culprit.
No. 3: You'll make more money 赚更多的钱
All signs point to fatter paychecks in 2008. Nearly two-in-five hiring
managers plan to increase starting salaries in the next year to attract new
talent, according to the EDGE Report.Plus, the Department of Labor reports
annual compensation costs (what employers spend on wages, salaries and benefits)
for civilian workers increased 3.3 percent for the year ended September 2007.
And, average hourly earnings increased from $16.91 in October 2006 to $17.58 in
October 2007. Take advantage of this knowledge and use it in negotiating your
new starting salary.
No. 4: You'll get better benefits 更好的福利
Although economic pressures are increasing, employers are becoming more
committed to offering more and better benefits packages to attract and retain
talent. Thirty percent of hiring managers reported their firms have instituted
new policies and programs to increase staff retention rates in the last 12
months, up from 23 percent this time last year, according to the same
CareerBuilder.com/Robert Half report. The primary measures taken included
offering pay raises, bonuses, better benefits and more flexible schedules. In
addition, Prudential Financial's study "Employee Benefits: 2006 & Beyond"
looked at current and future employee needs and how employers plan to respond to
them. Eighty percent of employers say it's important to offer and subsidize a
wide range of employee benefits. Be prepared: Although more companies are
offering more diversified benefits, workers may see more costs shifted from
employer to employee, especially in voluntary benefits.
No. 5: You'll have more time 更多的时间
Isn’t it time you improve your commute? Fifty-nine percent of workers
surveyed by CareerBuilder.com admit to experiencing road rage while traveling to
and from work. With 128 million commuters in the United States that's a lot of
road rage. It seems your commute is only going to get worse according to
"Commuting in America III" by Alan Pisarski published by the Transportation
Research Board. The average national travel times grew to 25.5 minutes in 2000,
up from 22.4 in 1990 and 21.7 in 1980. That time is increasing even though more
people are leaving for work between 5 a.m. and 6:30 a.m to beat rush hour. Find
something closer to home, or better yet, become one of the 4 million Americans
already working from home.
这段话虽然说的是美国，可在中国的大城市中也同样适用。不想再花4，5个小时在上下班路上的人，赶快找一份新工作吧!
