????與所有人搞好關系——在校園里，如果你不喜歡某個人，可以對他不理不睬。但在工作中，如果你不喜歡一位同事，不能簡單地對他視而不見，因為你們要在一起工作。相反，要做到友好真誠。如果對方是專業(yè)人士，即便他個人不喜歡你，也會在職業(yè)上尊重你。

????重質量，輕數(shù)量——如果可以的話，盡可能快地完成工作，但不能為了更多產出而犧牲工作的質量。如果你用代碼校驗破壞了軟件構造，即便提前一周交付，也會給上司和同事留下負面印象。相反，如果由你改進和完成的項目取得成功，并且保證了質量，即便多花了一周時間，也會給其他人留下積極印象。

????相信第一份工作將在很大程度上決定你今后的職業(yè)生涯。

????我記得在大學期間，周圍的人都在憧憬著心儀的工作。當時流行的觀點是，只要得到高盛（Goldman Sachs ）的臨時工作，就等于坐上了成功的列車，意味著整個職業(yè)生涯都將取得成功。

????如今，在畢業(yè)四年之后，我看到大多數(shù)朋友至少更換過一次雇主，許多人（包括我在內）甚至更換了行業(yè)。雖然許多人熱愛自己的第一份工作，但有人很快便發(fā)現(xiàn)，自己更喜歡另外一個職業(yè)。

????毫無疑問，選擇工作或雇主非常重要。某些工作會積累一定的人脈，這確實會決定以后的職業(yè)發(fā)展。但認為自己的第一份工作會不可阻擋地帶來特定的職業(yè)品牌或生活方式，或者認為在選擇工作時改變主意或犯錯將是災難性的，都是錯誤的觀點。

????我們的第一份工作最大的用處，往往是讓我們知道，自己不希望從事什么樣的工作來謀生。

????在某些行業(yè)，尤其是在科技行業(yè)，忽視電子郵件，推掉會議等，是可以接受的（甚至有人會引以為豪）……

????但你還不是下一個互聯(lián)網(wǎng)億萬富翁。有人花了時間給你寫電子郵件。你應該盡快回復，這是禮節(jié)問題。或者，你可以直接走過去與他們面對面交流（如果可行的話）。如果你不知道答案，或者需要更多時間，直接告訴對方。不要讓郵件躺在你的收件箱里數(shù)天/數(shù)周。我給自己的郵箱設置了“24”小時規(guī)則。

????參加會議要準時。有人認為你對某個話題的觀點很有趣，你應該將此作為褒獎。為了感謝他們，你理應出席會議并且保持專注。不要盯著自己的手機或筆記本電腦，除非確實有必要。有時候，確實會突然發(fā)生某些事情，需要你將注意力轉移到緊急問題上。此時，要表示歉意或請求離開。

????“我不知道”是非常好的答案。（但后面應該緊跟著“……但我會找到答案”。）

????譯者：劉進龍/汪皓

????Be on good terms with everyone - In school, if you disliked someone, you could ignore him. At work, if you dislike a colleague, you cannot simply ignore him because you will be working together. Instead, be friendly and cordial. If that person is at all a professional, even if he dislikes you personally, he will respect you professionally.

????Value quality over quantity - If you can, try to work as quickly as possible, but do not sacrifice the quality of your work for the sake of more output. Your manager and colleagues will remember negatively the time you broke the software build with a code check-in, even if it was delivered a week ahead of time. However, they will remember fondly the success and quality of your polished and completed project, even if it took an extra week to wrap up.

????Believing that your first job is highly deterministic of the rest of your career.

????I remember being an undergrad and being surrounded by people absolutely pining over particular choice jobs. The prevailing attitude seemed to be that getting the Goldman Sachs GS gig would catapult them onto a trajectory of success that would last for their entire careers.

????Now that it’s been four years since my graduation, I’ve seen most of my friends change employers at least once, and many (including myself) have also switched industries. While some people loved their first jobs, some quickly found out that another occupation was more to their liking.

????Picking a job or employer is important, no doubt. And certain jobs can lead to relationships that DO determine the rest of your career. But to assume that your first job will inexorably lead to one particular brand of career or lifestyle, or that changing your mind or making a mistake in job selection is catastrophic, is the wrong attitude.

????Often our first jobs are most useful in teaching us what we DON’T want to do for a living.

????In some pockets, especially tech, it’s ok (and weirdly prideful) to ignore emails, blow off meetings, etc…

????But you’re not the next Internet billionaire yet. Someone took the time to write you an email. You should extend them the courtesy of replying as quickly as you can. Or, you know, walking over and talking to them (if possible). If you don’t know the answer, or need more time, just say so. Don’t let it sit in your inbox for days/weeks. I impose a “24-hour” rule on my own mailbox.

????Show up to meetings on time. Someone thought your opinion on a topic might be interesting, so you should take that as a compliment. You owe it to them to attend and pay attention. Don’t stare at your phone or laptop, unless necessary. Sometimes things pop up that require your focus to shift to an urgent issue. If that happens, apologize or excuse yourself.

????“I don’t know” is a perfectly fine answer. (As long as “…but I will find out” quickly follows.)
