Don't stand by and watch your career crumble! Take control today by using these tips to get into and get over what you did wrong。
不要只是不知所措的看著你的工作被毀。采用下面的建議立即行動起來，彌補(bǔ)你犯的錯誤。
1. Own it. 承認(rèn)錯誤
While many of us would prefer to forget our mistakes, initially you need to acknowledge to your supervisor and everyone involved that you're accepting responsibility for what went wrong. Advises career strategist Daisy Swan, "If you see something has gone awry, be sure to be proactive. Talk to the people you report to, and with, and be upfront with what happened."
雖然我們中的大部分人都選擇忘記我們犯的錯，但是犯了錯誤之后，首先你要像你的上司和涉及到得每個人承認(rèn)錯誤，并表示你愿意承擔(dān)責(zé)任。職業(yè)策劃家Daisy Swan建議說：“如果看到事情出了錯，那就要主動點(diǎn)。跟你的上司談?wù)劊拱椎某姓J(rèn)你所犯的錯誤。
Jason Seiden, author of "How to Self-Destruct: Making the Least of What's Left of Your Career," agrees that mistake-makers must act quickly. He says, "Own it the right way: Call your boss, take ownership, tell her what you are about to do, and then call her boss. Acknowledge the mistake, tell your boss's boss you didn't want her to find out second hand, or from an end-of-week report, but you wanted her to know from the horse's mouth at the first possible moment."
Jason Seiden在其書中贊同犯錯的人應(yīng)該馬上采取相對應(yīng)的措施。他聲稱，你應(yīng)該馬上承認(rèn)自己的錯誤，坦誠面對你的上司，取得主動權(quán)，告訴他你接下來會采取什么補(bǔ)救措施，然后去向你上司的上司承認(rèn)錯誤，告訴她你寧愿她在第一時間得到最可靠的信息來源，而不是從別人那聽說得知，或者從每周總結(jié)報告上得知你所犯的錯誤。
2. Apologize ... once。真誠的道一次歉
Depending on your error and your position, you'll likely have to express remorse to others at your organization. Says Seiden, "There is a school of thought that says, 'Never apologize,' but I'm not of that school." If you act contrite in the right way (that is, seriously and sincerely)， you'll only have to do so once. After apologizing, he urges professionals, "Face forward and never look back -- and never let anyone else drag you backwards, either!"
根據(jù)所犯的錯誤和你的職位，你需要在公司讓別人知道你的自責(zé)。Seiden說：“有個思想流派說‘永遠(yuǎn)不要道歉‘，但是我不是那派的�！比绻泷R上認(rèn)真而誠懇的道歉，你道歉一次就夠了。他建議道歉后，你應(yīng)該專業(yè)的去解決這個問題。勇敢的面對，不要停止不前，并且不要讓別人拖了你后腿。
3. Take the heat。坦然的接受后果
You may get teased by from coworkers for a long time to come. Accept gentle ribbing with a wink and a smile. However, don't take blatant abuse from someone who can't get past what happened. Notes Seiden, who blogs about professional development at jasonseiden.com, "If you get teased, spar, extinguish it with a one-time apology, or find a new place to work. If all you do is accept the teasing, you will get bumped to the bottom of the food chain and that will make you totally ineffective. Get yourself back to fighting shape as quickly as possible."
也許在接下來很長一段時間內(nèi)，你都會因此受到同事的嘲笑。笑著接受那些溫和的玩笑。但是，對于那些存心不讓事情過去的人惡意的責(zé)罵，不要只是默默的承受著。Seiden說：“如果別人嘲笑你，和他爭辯，然后道歉來息事寧人，或者干脆辭職。如果你只是一味的接受別人的責(zé)備，那你就會落到公司的最底層，那樣會讓你毫無作為。要盡快讓你自己重回奮斗狀態(tài)。
4. Learn from the past。從錯誤中學(xué)習(xí)
Solicit advice from your boss and trusted associates to help you analyze what went wrong and how you might've avoided the error entirely. Seiden states, "Put together a plan to make sure such a mistake won't occur again, and meet with your boss and your boss's boss to review it." They'll appreciate that you're putting safeguards in place that can help the entire organization. Be sure that you focus on your own performance and responsibilities so as to avoid blaming or burdening others。
請求你的上司和你信任的同事幫忙分析事情錯在哪里，你以后該如何避免再犯這些錯誤。Seiden建議，在犯錯之后，應(yīng)該制定一個計劃以確保同樣的錯誤不會再犯，并且將這個計劃呈交給你的上司和上司的上司審閱。他們會欣賞你為了公司作出如此到位的防護(hù)措施。要確保你的計劃著重于自己的表現(xiàn)以及該承擔(dān)的責(zé)任，而不是責(zé)備他人，推卸責(zé)任。
5. Reflect for the future。反思未來
In closing the loop after a mistake, take some time to reflect on the big picture. Aside from the nuts and bolts of your mistake, consider the circumstances that surrounded it, such as stress or even apathy。
在犯錯之后，要花時間全面的反思一下。除了反思錯誤中這樣那樣的客觀原因，考慮下當(dāng)時的主觀原因，如壓力，不感興趣等。
Swan, founder of Daisy Swan & Associates, reveals, "This is a big period of questioning for so many people with regard to their work. While a lot of people are telling themselves to be grateful to have a job, they're also pondering what they're doing with their lives and uating if the work they are doing is right for them."
Swan揭露：“這個年代的大多數(shù)的人對他們的工作都存在很大的疑問。雖然很多人告誡自己，要對自己的工作心存感激，但是他們時常會反思工作與生活之間的關(guān)系，還有這份工作是否適合自己�！�
If you've made a major error on the job, she points out, "It may reflect a lack of attention and interest in what you're doing."
她指出，如果你在工作上犯了一個很大的錯誤，那也許表明你對工作漠不關(guān)心。

職場忠告：辭職也要辭得漂亮
金融危機(jī)當(dāng)前，可能你不得不一個人做兩個人以上的工作，還拿著可憐的薪水，再被老板呼來喝去，終于有一天，你在沉默中爆發(fā)，拍案而起，老子不干了！停，先等等，你知道辭職怎樣才能辭得漂亮嗎？
Ready to resign? Before you storm the bosses' office to tell him what you really think, consider that how you quit can have a big impact on your future job prospects. Take a deep breath and consider the points below。
準(zhǔn)備辭職了？在你去老板辦公室讓他知道你在想什么從而引發(fā)一場風(fēng)暴之前，仔細(xì)想想，你怎么辭的職對你未來的工作前景可是有著深遠(yuǎn)的影響的。做個深呼吸，考慮考慮下面的問題。
Do you really have to go? Make sure you are planning a change for the right reasons. Would promotion or a move into another department within the business resolve your problems? If you have faith in your HR representative, sit down with them and discuss your options. That’s what they are there for! You may find there are more opportunities with your current employer than you realised。
你真的應(yīng)該辭職嗎？要確保你是為了正確的原因?qū)で蟾淖�。你所面臨的問題和晉升有關(guān)嗎？是因為你要被調(diào)到公司的另一個部門去了嗎？如果你相信公司的HR團(tuán)隊，坐下來跟他們好好談?wù)勀愕倪x擇，HR就是干這個的！你可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)你能從現(xiàn)任老板那里爭取的比你以為的更多。
Expect a reaction! Unless your employer has been expecting you to resign, or requested it, you may be confronted with a range of reactions to your intention to resign. Don’t see it as an opportunity to respond with a list of complaints and the companies' failings. Maintain a cool head and simply state clearly your rehearsed reasons for leaving. Make it clear to your employer that you wish to leave on good terms。
對老板的反應(yīng)有心理準(zhǔn)備！除非你的老板一直期盼著你辭職或者提出辭職，否則你就必然會因為辭職面臨一場風(fēng)暴。你可別把這當(dāng)成訴苦抱怨的良機(jī)，跟老板說公司現(xiàn)在有多失敗。你要保持一個清醒的頭腦，簡潔明了的把你準(zhǔn)備好的理由說出來。讓你的老板明白你想好聚好散。
Know your obligations. If you are currently under contract or working in a probationary period, you may have the responsibility to provide a certain amount of notice. Be aware of your rights and contractual obligations and seek out your union representative or legal advice if you require clarification。
了解自己的義務(wù)。如果你是合同工或者在試用期，你可能有責(zé)任提供那么一些預(yù)先的通知。注意你應(yīng)享受的權(quán)利和應(yīng)該履行的義務(wù)，如果你需要說明的話可以去尋求你的工會代表或者法律咨詢。
Don't burn your bridges. Venting about your job to colleagues or at your boss may mean losing a potentially valuable reference; you may also make it very difficult to return should you ever need to. In addition, the people you work with today will inevitably move on to other things. You may find yourself looking across a desk at them in a future interview!
別自毀前程。把你工作中的怨氣對同事或者對老板發(fā)泄一通可能讓你失去潛在的有價值的關(guān)系戶。你們的關(guān)系可能再也不能重歸于好了。另外，今天和你共事的人搞不好明天就干別的去了，說不定什么時候你就會在一場面試中發(fā)現(xiàn)你們坐對桌。
