教单纯的你看透老板的潜台词(英汉).doc

A slightly grouchy guide for new grads and other Millennials 教单纯的你看透老板的潜台词 If youre about to finish college and venture into the corporate world, youve no doubt heard plenty of perfectly good tips on job-hunting: Double-check the spelling in your resume, show up on time, look hiring managers in the eye when you talk to them, turn your cell phone off in interviews. 如果你即将毕业，迈入职场，那你肯定听过许多关于求职的好建议：反复检查简历是否有拼写错误、准时到场、说话时直视招聘主管的眼睛、面试中关闭手机。 Thats all fine, of course, but what if you happen to be rocking a conspicuous piercing, a tattoo, or hair of a color not found in nature, as Charles Murray puts it? Curmudgeons will not hire you except for positions where they dont have to see you, and perhaps not even those, he writes inThe Curmudgeons Guide to Getting Ahead.

Still, he insists his views are shared -- though perhaps silently -- by people at or near the top of most companies in every industry except maybe high-tech and show business. 默里是华盛顿智囊机构美国企业研究院（American Enterprise Institute）的W.H.布雷迪学者，而这个机构从来不掩饰自己保守的风格。莫里依然坚持认为，除高科技和娱乐业以外，所有行业的大多数公司高层都赞同他的观点——尽管也许是默默赞同。 The corporate world is, in Murrays view, ruled by curmudgeons, whom he defines as highly successful people of both genders who are inwardly grumpy about many aspects of contemporary culture, ma
