Ⅳ.阅读理解
Gone are the days when people used to be devoted to a job and enjoyed working at the same place during their lifetime. Nowadays, job hopping (跳槽) has become very common. But what has led to this tendency of frequent change in jobs among employees? Well, in most of the cases, it is boredom resulting from the routine job and lack of job satisfaction that disappoints people. Searching for better work opportunities is also one of the reasons for frequent change in jobs.But, is job hopping safe for employees?
Actually, job hopping can either make or break the career of the person. On the one hand, it helps you learn new work skills because you'll come across many people who have the experience of working in many different work areas. Through working in different fields you would be exposed to various work fields and as a result, you would find the field that is best for you. Also, changing the job serves a good break and will keep you enthusiastic about the life and work.
On the other hand, job hopping isn't something recommended because there are disadvantages associated with it. Very often employers are afraid of hiring employees with a history of too many job changes. This is because an employee with many job records is described as someone who cannot be trusted in the long run. Also the person is often considered as someone who lacks stability, focus and dedication (奉献), apart from sound knowledge of his work area.
A person gains sound knowledge of a subject only after he works on it for a certain period of time.
Therefore, you shouldn't change your job too frequently; job change is recommended only if you aren't satisfied with the job, or have issues with the current job, or have got a better job opportunity.
