别说自己失业了(续)

首先，请不要因为自己没工作而感到羞愧。我知道管理你的财务会令人畏惧，而找工作时的约会可能让人焦虑、难以应对。相反，考虑一下自己该如何交流。你正在结识新朋友。你希望从交往中得到什么？你要我们为你感到遗憾吗，亲爱的没工作的人？或者你能脆弱一点，寻求帮助吗？你可以说：“我正在求职中，我刚刚离开了一家从事X的公司。现在我在找一家做Y的公司。嗨，你了解这样的公司吗？”或者说；“我是一名求职者(嗨，这可比‘无业人’的头衔酷多了，是不是？感觉如何?) 我在努力找一位重视我在X，Y和Z方面的才华的雇主。我很想听听你对符合条件的公司的看法。”瞧，现在你正在吸引对方呢。

You’re not trying to get them to find you the job … it’s not that strong a tone. You’re inviting them to help out. That’s vulnerable. But you’re not victimizing yourself by calling yourself “unemployed.” You’re actively pursuing new avenues for your job search.

你并没有让对方为你找工作……语气没那么强烈。你在找他们帮忙。这是“脆弱”。但是你没有牺牲自己，自称“失业人员”。你在为求职积极地寻找新路子。

Changing the language of “I’m unemployed” to one of the alternatives I’ve suggested is a way to shift your attitude and energy. I encourage you to notice how different words make you feel. Unemployed is not generally a pretty word. And you don’t have to use it as a label for yourself. You might fight me here and say, “But it’s true. I’m not employed.” And I’d tell you simply, “If you want to hang on to that energy, be my guest. But if you’d like to shift that energy sooner, rather than later, don’t wait for an employer to change the picture. Decide to lighten up on yourself and call yourself something else.”
