  Starting a New Job

开始新工作

陈豪在北京的ABC美国公司工作,他兴冲冲地打电话给美国同事Amy。

(Office ambience)

A: Good Afternoon, this is Amy.

C: 你好,Amy, 我是陈豪,你现在有几分钟的时间吗?

A: Yes. I was just about to start a new project, but it can wait.

C: 我有好消息告诉你。

A: What is it?

C: 我升职了,要到销售部去。

A: Oh, That's wonderful. Tell me about it.

C: 我的上司觉得我到公司以来,社交能力大有长进,所以决定把我调到销售部去。

A: How do you feel about that?

C: 当然高兴了,不过也有点紧张。

A: I agree that it is always a bit scary 1 when you start a totally new job, working with people and processes that you don't know.

C: Amy, 我想一上来就让他们对我刮目相看,你能不能告诉我,应该怎么做啊?

A: First of all, I would be careful about how I'd impress them.

C: 你这话是什么意思啊?我得让他们看看,我非常了解销售部的作业流程。这样他们才会觉得我是合适的人选。

A: My advice to you is to go slowly at first. Understand that there may be people in that department who think they should have gotten the job instead of you.

C: 对呀,那我怎么做才既能让别人觉得我确实很有能力,又不得罪人呢?

A: Ask intelligent questions about projects and processes. Let your co-workers share their knowledge and experience with you.

C: 可如果我问一大堆问题,别人会不会觉得我不胜任呢?

A: Not at all. Listening to other people is the best way to learn what you don't know and how to do your job well. The other benefit 2 is that you will get to know your colleagues 3.

C: 好了,我不能再耽误你时间了,过几天有问题我再来向你咨询。

A: That sounds good.

两天后,陈豪Amy一起吃午饭。

A: How do you like your new job?

C: 挺好的,我适应得很快。同事们也都很帮忙。

A: I'm glad to hear that you are getting off to such a good start.

C: 但是也有一、两个人,让我觉得有些不自在。

A: What's going on with them?

C: 他们好像是故意的,没完没了地给我讲办公室的各种小道消息。我真不知道拿他们怎么办好。

A: The best way to deal with those people is to tell them that you feel you need to spend your time learning 4 your job.

C: 如果他们不听劝告呢?

A: As we Americans say, "Let it go in one ear and out the other."

C: 好主意!我们中国人也说一个耳朵进,一个耳朵出。
