As a green hand in the working world, getting a pay raise or promotion¹ is not as hard as you believe. The following are some tips to help you gain the promotion you want:

作为一名职场新人，获得升职加薪并不像你想象中的那么难。下面几点小建议将有助于你实现自己升职的愿望:

 

1. Make clear where you are and why you are there.

1.弄清楚自己身处何处以及为什么在这个位置。

 

How to get promoted²? First you will need to know yourself clearly. Ask yourself, where are you now? And why are you there? Are there key strengths that have brought you where you are now? Can you continue to leverage(影响) the strengths for the next promotion? Are there any weaknesses that you really need to correct before the next promotion?  These questions will help you to check your strengths and weaknesses.

如何获得升职?首先，你先要对自己有一个清楚的认识。问一下自己现在在职场中处于什么地位?为什么会处于该地位?它是否是基于自己所具有的关键优势而形成的?该优势能否在下一步的提升中起到作用?在下次可能得到提升之前，是否存在任何需要改正的缺点? 这些问题将有助于你审视自己身上存在的优缺点。

 

2. Ask yourself where you want to be and how you get there.

2. 问一下自己想要达到什么程度以及如何达到该程度。

 

You need to have an objective³ and a plan for your career development. Just saying that you want to get promoted is not enough. You need to be clear on your next position and write it down. Then, you should develop a plan to achieve your objective.

你需要为自己的职业发展设定一个目标和计划。仅仅强调你希望得到升职是远远不够的。你需要对你下一步的职业定位有一个清晰的认识，并将其转化为文字。接下来要做的便是为实现你的目标做一个切实可行的计划。

 

3. Commit⁴ to your plan and follow it through.

3. 忠于你的计划并将其进行到底。

 

Attitude(态度) matters. It matters everywhere, at every stage of your  career. Having a clear direction is important to guide your energy.  However, without action which is the actual completion(完成，实现) of  the task, all else is academic. You will be only judged by what you do.  In addition, your action should be backed up with skills and knowledge,  which will accelerate(加速) your movement.

态度决定一切。它关系到你职业生涯中的每一阶段。拥有一个明确的方向是非常重要的，它可以使你的精力得到充分利用而不会被浪费。然而，缺少了实际完成任务的行动，其他的一切便成了纸上谈兵。你的行动才是评价你的唯一标准。同时，你需要用知识和技能来武装你的行动，这将加速你行进的步伐。
