谷歌人力資源副總裁：前十年別專一
Google HR boss shares his best advice for succeeding in today's workplace
谷歌的人力資源主管分享在職場中成功的最好的建議
Since Laszlo Bockbecame Google's senior vice president of people operations in 2006, the company has grown from a workforce of 6,000 employees to 60,000.
自從拉茲洛·博克2006年擔任谷歌人力資源運營副總裁以來，公司的員工數量已由原來的6000名員工增長到了60000名員工。
Today, it has more than 70 offices across 40 countries and receives more than 2 million job applications every year.
如今，谷歌在40個國家設有70多個辦事處，每年還會收到兩百多萬的工作申請。
In that same time, it's secured a comfortable No. 1 spot atop several rankings of the best places to work.
同一時間裏，在最佳工作場所的幾個排名中位於最舒適工作場所的榜首。
Bock recently spoke about his new book about Google, "Work Rules!," with venture capitalist John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Beyers(an investor in Google since 1999) for a podcast episode of Voices of KPCB.
博克最近跟KPCB風險投資公司的風險資本家約翰·杜爾（1999年起一直是谷歌的投資者）在KPCB之聲的播客中談到他關於谷歌的新書，“就是些工作準則而已！”
At one point in the conversation, Doerr asks Bock to share his best career advice for a knowledge worker, and Bock has an unorthodox answer, which we've edited for clarity:
在談話中，杜爾邀請博克給腦力工作者分享其就業經驗，然而博克給了我們曾經明白指出過的截然不同的答案。
The conventional wisdom on how to manage your career is to specialize. They talk about the T-Model, where you finish school and you spend your first 10 years specializing, and then 10 years out you get good, and then you become a general manager (that's the top of the T). I have completely the opposite view.
對於職業發展，我們傳統的觀念就是術業有專攻。他們把這比作T型，你完成學業之後，把你第一個十年的時間花在專攻上，十年之後你成功了，之後你成了一個總經理（那是T型的頂端）。我的觀點恰恰相反。
Because everyone's doing that. So if you want to win, you need to do something different.
正因爲所有人都抱有這樣的想法。所以如果你想要贏，你就需要做點不同尋常的事情。
In the first 10 years of your career, try a lot of different things. Don't overthink it. Experiment. Work in different companies. Be in a startup; be in a big company. Work for a branded company; work for somebody nobody's heard of. Work for a nonprofit. You're going to get a level of breadth that somebody who's specialized won't have.
在你工作的第一個十年裏，試着去做很多不同的事情。不要猶豫，要去嘗試，要去不同的公司裏工作。去創業，去大公司裏工作。去大品牌公司工作；或者去一個名不經傳的公司工作。不以賺錢爲目的地去工作。你將會得到專攻的那些人所得不到的水平。
Ten years in, by the time you're around 30, you should declare your "major." That's when you decide here's "what I want to be when I grow up," and you specialize.
在這十年裏，等你快要30歲的時候，你應該確定你的“專業”。那就是你決定“這就是我長大以後的夢想”的時候，那時候你也就會很專業了。
If you want to be a user interface designer, you're going to be competing against a bunch of people who have been doing that for 10 years, and they're a dime a dozen. You're going to come in having done something like working for a historical society or having traveled the world, and you're going to be different.
如果你想成爲一個用戶界面設計師，你將會與已經這樣做了10年的一羣人競爭，這些人比比皆是。如果你做了類似於曾經爲歷史學會工作或者曾經環遊世界的事情，那你將是與衆不同的。
Because you're different you're going to have an advantage with the insight you can bring. The cool things are happening at the intersections of fields, not deep, deep, deep in a field — with a few exceptions.
因爲你的不同來源於你能利用你洞察力的優勢。美好的東西總在不同領域的交叉點中，而非那些很深很深的領域中——那是極少數的。
And then in your next 10 years, you accelerate.
在你接下來的10年裏，你要加速。
In the third decade of your career, you sort of reap the rewards. You're C-level in a company, or you're a founder. And you just do your own thing.
在你職業生涯中的第三個十年，你會獲得回報。你在公司裏是C級水平，還是你是創始人。你只需要做好你自己的事情。
