Career Hopping- It’s Fun!

Many people are comfortable “hopping” from one job to another in America. Why? People become bored after a long period of time working in one profession. Thirty years of doing the same things over and over again can seem extremely boring to many people in America. When you decide to change directions professionally, you say you are ready for “a career change.” Some people undergo several career changes over the course of their lives. Trying new things can be really beneficial. In fact, oftentimes your resume looks better if you have worked in a variety of professions rather than solely in one profession! Each job experience teaches a person new skills that can be transferred to the next job- no matter what it may be.

跳槽真有趣！

美国许多人从一个工作跳到另外一个工作时会感到很舒畅。为什么呢？因为一个人如果在一种职业上工作很长时间的话，就会感到厌倦。三十年一成不变的，重复的做着同样的事情肯定会让许多美国人感到极度的厌倦。当你决定改变职业方向的时候，就是说你准备“职业转变”了。有些人一生当中会经历几次职业转变。尝试新的事物是十分有益的。实际上，如果你在多种行业中工作过，而不是独守一行，那你的简历往往会看起来更好一些的。每一份工作经验都教会一个人新的技能，这些技能能够应用到下一份工作中去——不管这会是份什么样的工作。
