用不同的眼光來安排職業發展

一般人都會期待能夠在企業的層級組織結構上，循序獲得升遷機會，得到一個主管辦公室。然而，企業組織通常不會有那麼多主管的空缺職位，多數人只好不斷轉換工作職位或是在不同的部門之間流轉。 

如果你也遇到這樣沒有立即可以垂直升遷的階梯，請用不同的眼光來調整你的職業發展步調：

1. 給自己更寬廣的發展空間。與其期待得到向上升遷的機會，不如給自己有橫向發展的空間。例如，如果你是名財務分析師，你可以考慮從其他一樣可以做分析工作的機會，例如市場研究或是銷售業務。
2. 證明你可以承擔更多責任。找到可以展現你的能力的方式。例如，你是否可以擔任一些管理工作？你是否能夠協助你的主管做面試新人或是訓練新人的工作？
3. 發展新技能。找出可以學習的機會，並且認真投入去學習。如果你發現你的公司或是部門內沒有人熟悉某種技能，你就可以去獲得這樣的技能，成為專業。這樣的新技能或是新知識，也許就是你下次獲得拔擢為主管的優先考慮因素。

Arrange career development with different eyes

Most people will expect to be able to get a promotion opportunity in a hierarchical structure and get a competent office. However, corporate organizations usually do not have so many executive positions, most of them have to switch jobs or transfer among different departments.

If you encounter such a ladder without immediate promotion, please adjust your career progression differently.

1. Give yourself a wider space for development. Rather than looking forward to a chance of upward promotion, it is better to have room for horizontal development. For example, if you are a financial analyst, you can consider other opportunities to analyze, such as market research or sales.
2. Prove that you can take on more responsibilities. Find ways to show your ability. For example, can you do some management work? Can you assist your supervisor in doing interviews or training new people?
3. Develop new skills. Identify opportunities that can be learned and seriously invest in learning. If you find that no one in your company or department is familiar with certain skills, you can acquire such skills and become a professional. Such new skills or new knowledge may be the priority for your next promotion.
