No matter what the reason, though, juggling more than one job is guaranteed to be a crash course in time management. If you’re not careful, the word "crash" could become more than figurative.
We all know that we’ll have to figure out a time management system when we take on a second job. Equally obvious is the fact that what works for one person (and their jobs)probably won’t work for anyone else. It’s up to you to find a system and stick with it. There are a few tricks, though, that can help.
Keep firm dividers between your different jobs. Even if you are the boss on your second job—you’re working for yourself—you have an obligation to keep that work separate from your day job. Focus on what’s in front of you. There’s actually a benefit to punching a clock when you work for more than one supervisor. When you’re on the clock for Company A, you know exactly which projects you should be working on. If Company A is paying for this time, you should be theirs, heart and soul, at least until you clock out.
Good records can also help. I’m not just talking about the calendars and task lists most of us rely on, either. Making sure that you have any contact information available no matter whether you’re at Job A, Job B or Home can take some extra effort, but it’s worth it. The same goes for your notes and other paperwork.
There will come a day when an emergency comes up at Job A when you’re supposed to be taking care of something for Job B. It’s a fact of life. Unless you have very understanding supervisors or clients, you’re going to have to choose between your jobs. In the moment, it’s very hard to make that decision. I’ve decided between jobs based on which I enjoyed more, which paid better and which was more likely to fire me.
You can’t necessarily make decisions ahead of time, either. The best you can do is make sure you know which of your commitments is the priority when you’re thinking calmly and rationally. Beyond that, I’d suggest thinking about contingency plans. Personally, my contingency plan is very simple. I can pick up and move any of my projects to anywhere that has Internet access.
I know plenty of people who bring their work to their primary job. It seems to be a favorite tactic of folks starting up a freelancing career or small business. I don’t think that’s the best way to manage a packed schedule. If you don’t have your primary employer’s permission, the arrangement is shady at best. That said, these situations do happen. If you’re in one of them, the best advice is to just keep things quiet. Give precedence to the employer who is paying you for this specific chunk of time.
Some companies don’t want you to work anywhere else. They want you to put in your eight hours, go home, sleep well and come back rested. Others consider employees who go looking for other projects as assets—such employees have a jump start on networking and have a wider variety of experiences.
Unfortunately, most supervisors do not come with a label describing which variety they are. Because it can be very hard to figure out your boss’ stance, the general rule seems to be that you keep quiet on your extracurricular activities. I wouldn’t talk about Job A at Job B, although, if my boss was to bring up the matter, I’d be entirely truthful.
If a title is to be given to the last two paragraphs, the best one is "_____".
选项
A、How to deal with the jobs when they coincide?
B、How much do you tell the boss?
C、How to identify the type of the boss?
D、How much do you pay to balance more than more job?
答案
B
解析
倒数第2段先分析boss的类型,最后一段第2句提出建议:不管boss属于哪种类型,都别告诉他们你在做公事以外的工作,由此可见,这两段围绕“该说多少”的问题,因此,B是最好的标题。A和D都没有包括有关“boss”的内容,肯定不能选;C最具干扰性;虽然倒数第2段提到了boss的类型,但这是为了为下一段第2句的the general rule作铺垫,而且这两段并没有提到“how to identify”,最后一段也暗示不用管boss属于哪种类型。因此,C也不正确。
