我稍后再告诉你们

特蕾西是如何处理的，
03:15
but I want to share with you
a discovery that I made
a discovery that I made
59
183320
2429
我想先跟大家分享
我的一个发现，
我的一个发现，
03:17
when I was returning to work
60
185773
1723
那时我刚刚回到工作中，
03:19
after my own career break of 11 years
out of the full-time workforce.
out of the full-time workforce.
61
187520
4096
结束了自己离开全职工作大军
11年的长假。
11年的长假。
03:23
And that is, that people's view of you
is frozen in time.
is frozen in time.
62
191640
5240
这个发现就是，
人们对你的印象凝固在过去。
人们对你的印象凝固在过去。
03:29
What I mean by this is,
when you start to get in touch with people
when you start to get in touch with people
63
197320
3656
我的意思是，
当你再次开始与人打交道，
当你再次开始与人打交道，
03:33
and you get back in touch
with those people from the past,
with those people from the past,
64
201000
2736
与曾经合作过的人重新接触，
03:35
the people with whom you worked
or went to school,
or went to school,
65
203760
3256
例如跟你一起上学、工作过的人，
03:39
they are going to remember you as you were
66
207040
2736
他们对你的印象是
03:41
before your career break.
67
209800
1816
离职长假之前的你。
03:43
And that's even if your sense of self
has diminished over time,
has diminished over time,
68
211640
3496
我们的自我意识
随着时间推移逐渐淡化，
随着时间推移逐渐淡化，
03:47
as happens with so many of us
69
215160
2096
我们很多人都会这样，
03:49
the farther removed we are
from our professional identities.
from our professional identities.
70
217280
3896
我们距离我们的职业身份
也就越来越远。
也就越来越远。
03:53
So for example,
you might think of yourself
you might think of yourself
71
221200
2696
举个例子，
你可能把你自己看成这样。
你可能把你自己看成这样。
03:55
as someone who looks like this.
72
223920
1480
03:57
This is me, crazy after a day
of driving around in my minivan.
of driving around in my minivan.
73
225800
4296
这就是我，开了一天小面包车，
整个人感觉很疯狂。
整个人感觉很疯狂。
04:02
Or here I am in the kitchen.
74
230120
2200
这是我在厨房里的样子。
04:04
But those people from the past,
75
232760
2536
但是从前的那些人，
04:07
they don't know about any of this.
76
235320
2216
他们对这些一无所知。
04:09
They only remember you as you were,
77
237560
2536
他们只记得你曾经的样子，
04:12
and it's a great confidence boost
to be back in touch with these people
to be back in touch with these people
78
240120
4176
当你重新与这些人沟通时，
真是大大的增强了自信心，
真是大大的增强了自信心，
04:16
and hear their enthusiasm
about your interest in returning to work.
about your interest in returning to work.
79
244320
3640
而且他们对你有再从业的兴趣
感到非常的开心。
感到非常的开心。
04:21
There's one more thing I remember vividly
from my own career break.
from my own career break.
80
249440
4096
我还清晰地记得发生在
我离职长假中的一件事。
我离职长假中的一件事。
04:25
And that was that I hardly kept up
with the business news.
with the business news.
81
253560
3375
那时我几乎完全不关注经济新闻。
04:28
My background is in finance,
82
256959
1617
我曾是财经行业出身，
04:30
and I hardly kept up with any news
83
258600
2416
然而我在家照顾四个孩子时，
04:33
when I was home caring
for my four young children.
for my four young children.
84
261040
2936
我几乎不关注任何的新闻。
04:36
So I was afraid I'd go into an interview
85
264000
3376
所以我很害怕，
自己去参加面试的时候，
自己去参加面试的时候，
04:39
and start talking about a company
that didn't exist anymore.
that didn't exist anymore.
86
267400
3360
会讲到一个不复存在的公司。
04:43
So I had to resubscribe
to the Wall Street Journal
to the Wall Street Journal
87
271200
3536
所以我重新订阅了华尔街日报，
04:46
and read it for a good six months
cover to cover before I felt
cover to cover before I felt
88
274760
3456
然后连续看了六个月，
04:50
like I had a handle on what was going on
in the business world again.
in the business world again.
89
278240
3920
之后我才觉得自己对经济
又有了点解了。
又有了点解了。
04:55
I believe relaunchers
are a gem of the workforce,
are a gem of the workforce,
90
283880
3656
我相信再从业者是
劳动大军中的精英，
劳动大军中的精英，
04:59
and here's why.
91
287560
1736
原因如下。
05:01
Think about our life stage:
92
289320
1816
想想我们人生的阶段：
05:03
for those of us who took career breaks
for childcare reasons,
for childcare reasons,
93
291160
3656
对于那些因为要照顾孩子
而休离职假期的人，
而休离职假期的人，
05:06
we have fewer or no maternity leaves.
94
294840
1976
大都没有产假，或是产假很短。
05:08
We did that already.
95
296840
1496
我们早就做过这些了。
05:10
We have fewer spousal
or partner job relocations.
or partner job relocations.
96
298360
3336
我们离婚率较低，
也很少因伴侣而调整工作。
也很少因伴侣而调整工作。
05:13
We're in a more settled time of life.
97
301720
2456
我们的生活更稳定。
05:16
We have great work experience.
98
304200
1816
我们有很棒的工作经历，
05:18
We have a more mature perspective.
99
306040
2016
更成熟的眼光，
05:20
We're not trying to find ourselves
at an employer's expense.
at an employer's expense.
100
308080
3576
我们不会成为雇主的牺牲品。
05:23
Plus we have an energy,
an enthusiasm about returning to work
an enthusiasm about returning to work
101
311680
4216
此外，我们有一种能量 -
重返岗位的热情，
重返岗位的热情，
05:27
precisely because we've been
away from it for a while.
away from it for a while.
102
315920
2920
正是因为我们离职一段时间了。
05:31
On the flip side, I speak with employers,
103
319600
2616
另外，我也跟雇主讨论，
05:34
and here are two concerns
that employers have
that employers have
104
322240
2536
以下是雇主们
关于雇佣再从业者的两个担忧。
关于雇佣再从业者的两个担忧。
05:36
about hiring relaunchers.
105
324800
1896
05:38
The first one is, employers
are worried that relaunchers
are worried that relaunchers
106
326720
3056
其一，雇主担心这些再从业者
05:41
are technologically obsolete.
107
329800
2040
技术方面比较落后。
05:44
Now, I can tell you,
108
332400
1256
我可以告诉各位，
05:45
having been technologically
obsolete myself at one point,
obsolete myself at one point,
109
333680
3576
虽然有段时间我自己技术确实落后，
05:49
that it's a temporary condition.
110
337280
1680
但那只是暂时的。
05:51
I had done my financial analysis
so long ago that I used Lotus 1-2-3.
so long ago that I used Lotus 1-2-3.
111
339520
6136
很早以前我用“莲花123”软件
来做财经分析，
来做财经分析，
05:57
I don't know if anyone
can even remember back that far,
can even remember back that far,
112
345680
2936
我不知道有没有人还记得
那么早以前的事了，
那么早以前的事了，
06:00
but I had to relearn it on Excel.
113
348640
2216
这些技能我得在 Excel上重新拾起。
06:02
It actually wasn't that hard.
A lot of the commands are the same.
A lot of the commands are the same.
114
350880
3080
其实这并并非难事，
很多的操作指令是一样的。
很多的操作指令是一样的。
06:06
I found PowerPoint much more challenging,
115
354600
2216
我发现PowerPoint更具挑战性，
06:08
but now I use PowerPoint all the time.
116
356840
2160
但现在我对PowerPoint驾轻就熟。
06:11
I tell relaunchers that employers
expect them to come to the table
expect them to come to the table
117
359960
4656
我告诉再从业者们，
雇主希望找工作的人
雇主希望找工作的人
06:16
with a working knowledge
of basic office management software.
of basic office management software.
118
364640
3496
对基本的办公管理软件
有实践经验。
有实践经验。
06:20
And if they're not up to speed,
119
368160
1736
如果他们操作速度不够快，
06:21
then it's their
responsibility to get there.
responsibility to get there.
120
369920
2376
那他们就必须变得更高效。
06:24
And they do.
121
372320
1200
而他们确实做得到。
06:25
The second area of concern
that employers have about relaunchers
that employers have about relaunchers
122
373960
3616
雇主对再从业者的第二种忧虑，
06:29
is they're worried that relaunchers
don't know what they want to do.
don't know what they want to do.
123
377600
3200
就是他们担心再从业者
不清楚他们想要做什么。
不清楚他们想要做什么。
06:33
I tell relaunchers that they need
to do the hard work
to do the hard work
124
381440
3216
我告诉再从业者，

06:43
That's not the employer's job.

这不是雇主的职责。
06:45
It's the relauncher's responsibility
to demonstrate to the employer

Back in 2010 I started noticing something.

06:58
I had been tracking

我从2008年开始追踪
人们重返岗位的情况，

07:02
and in 2010, I started noticing

然而在2010年，我开始注意到，
07:05
the use of a short-term
paid work opportunity,

134
413880
3896
一种短期、带薪的工作机会开始出现，
07:09
whether it was called
an internship or not,

135
417800
2456
不论它是不是名叫“实习”，
07:12
but an internship-like experience,
136

2336
但总之是一个很像实习的经历，
07:14
as a way for professionals
to return to work.

137
422640
3136
这为重回岗位的专业人士
开辟了一条道路。

07:17
I saw Goldman Sachs and Sara Lee

So I wrote a report
about what I was seeing,

于是，就我所观察到的现象，
我写了一篇报告，

07:59
And then, courtesy of Fox Business News,
151
467360

后来，还得感谢福克斯商业新闻，
08:02
they called the concept
"The 50-Year-Old Intern."

152
470560

And at this point,
hundreds of people have participated.

156

截至目前，数百人参与了这些项目。
08:20
These internships are paid,
157
488960
1776
这些实习项目是带薪的，
08:22
and the people who move on
to permanent roles

158
490760
2736
而且那些晋升到永久岗位的人，
08:25
are commanding competitive salaries.
159

都有极具竞争力的薪资。
08:28
And now, seven of the biggest

现在，七家最大的工程公司，
08:32
are piloting reentry internship programs

这也是女性工程师协会
新方案的一部分。

08:41
Now, why are companies embracing
the reentry internship?

163
509560
3840
那么，为什么这些企业
大力支持再从业实习呢？
大力支持再从业实习呢？
08:46
Because the internship allows the employer
164
514440
2976
因为这种实习可以让雇主
08:49
to base their hiring decision
on an actual work sample
on an actual work sample
165
517440
4016
基于参与者实际工作成效
来做出雇佣决策，
来做出雇佣决策，
08:53
instead of a series of interviews,
166
521480
2055
而非一系列的面试，
08:55
and the employer does not have to make
that permanent hiring decision
that permanent hiring decision
167
523559
3737
而且雇主不必在实习结束之前
08:59
until the internship period is over.
168
527320
2800
就做出永久雇佣的决定。
09:02
This testing out period
removes the perceived risk
removes the perceived risk
169
530640
3896
这段试验期消除了一定的风险，
09:06
that some managers attach
to hiring relaunchers,
to hiring relaunchers,
170
534560
3576
这关乎某些经理人
对雇佣再从业者的担忧，
对雇佣再从业者的担忧，
09:10
and they are attracting
excellent candidates

171
538160
2656
同时，这也吸引了大量再从业人士，
09:12
who are turning into great hires.
172
540840
1840
他们成为了出色的雇佣对象。
09:15
Think about how far we have come.
173
543240
1960
各位,想一想我们取得的进步，
09:17
Before this, most employers
were not interested
were not interested
174
545560
2976
在此之前，大多数雇主
根本没兴趣与再从业者打交道。
09:20
in engaging with relaunchers at all.
175
548560
2336
09:22
But now, not only
are programs being developed
are programs being developed
176
550920
3496
然而现在，有许多项目在开展实施，
09:26
specifically with relaunchers in mind,
177
554440
2536
特别是针对再从业者的项目，
09:29
but you can't even apply
for these programs
for these programs
178
557000
2496
如果简历上没有一段空档期，
09:31
unless you have a gap on your résumé.
179
559520
2680
你根本不能申请这些项目。
09:34
This is the mark of real change,
180
562840
2096
这标志着一种实质变化，
09:36
of true institutional shift,
181
564960
2256
一种真正的制度变革，
09:39
because if we can solve
this problem for relaunchers,
this problem for relaunchers,
182
567240
3536
因为如果我们可以
为再从业者解决这个问题，
为再从业者解决这个问题，
09:42
we can solve it for other
career transitioners too.
career transitioners too.
183
570800
3296
我们亦可为其他的职业转型者
解决同样的问题。
解决同样的问题。
09:46
In fact, an employer just told me
184
574120
1936
事实上，一位雇主刚刚告诉我，
09:48
that their veterans return to work program
185
576080
2496
他们的“退伍军人再从业项目”，
09:50
is based on their reentry
internship program.
internship program.
186
578600
3376
就是基于他们的再从业实习项目。
09:54
And there's no reason why there can't be
a retiree internship program.
a retiree internship program.
187
582000
5016
我们也没有理由不去设立
一个“退休人士实习项目”。
一个“退休人士实习项目”。
09:59
Different pool, same concept.
188
587040
2480
不同的对象，相同的概念。
10:02
So let me tell you
what happened with Tracy Shapiro.
what happened with Tracy Shapiro.
189
590400
2456
让我告诉你们特蕾西·莎碧罗
最后发生了什么。
最后发生了什么。
10:04
Remember that she had to tell
everyone she knew
everyone she knew
190
592880
2576
各位回想一下，
她必须告诉她认识的每一个人，
她必须告诉她认识的每一个人，
10:07
about her interest in returning to work.
191
595480
2000
自己对重返工作岗位很有兴趣。
10:09
Well, one critical conversation
with another parent in her community
with another parent in her community
192
597800
4176
结果，她与自己社区里的长辈
进行了一次关键的谈话，
进行了一次关键的谈话，
10:14
led to a job offer for Tracy,
193
602000
2096
这让她找到了一份工作邀请。
10:16
and it was an accounting job
in a finance department.
in a finance department.
194
604120
2776
那是一个金融部门的会计工作。
10:18
But it was a temp job.
195
606920
1320
但那是临时的。
10:20
The company told her
there was a possibility
there was a possibility
196
608800
2456
公司告诉她，
有可能有岗位晋升的机会，
有可能有岗位晋升的机会，
10:23
it could turn into something more,
but no guarantees.
but no guarantees.
197
611280
3536
但是不能保证。
10:26
This was in the fall of 2011.
198
614840
2360
那是2011年的秋天。
10:29
Tracy loved this company,
and she loved the people
and she loved the people
199
617720
3016
特蕾西很爱那个公司，
而且她喜欢那里的员工，
而且她喜欢那里的员工，
10:32
and the office was less
than 10 minutes from her house.
than 10 minutes from her house.
200
620760
3056
从办公室去她家只需10分钟。
10:35
So even though she had a second job offer
201
623840
2216
所以即使她后来得到了
第二份工作邀请，
第二份工作邀请，
10:38
at another company
for a permanent full-time role,
for a permanent full-time role,
202
626080
2896
来自另一家公司，
而且有永久、全职的保证，
而且有永久、全职的保证，
10:41
she decided to take her chances
with this internship
with this internship
203
629000
3216
她决定在这份实习项目中冒冒险，
10:44
and hope for the best.
204
632240
1760
尽人事，听天命。
10:47
Well, she ended up blowing away
all of their expectations,
all of their expectations,
205
635320
3056
最后，她的业绩
远远超出了所有人的期望值，
远远超出了所有人的期望值，
10:50
and the company not only
made her a permanent offer
made her a permanent offer
206
638400
2496
公司不但提供了她永久岗位，
10:52
at the beginning of 2012,
207
640920
2096
那是在2012年初，
10:55
but they made it even more
interesting and challenging,
interesting and challenging,
208
643040
2616
而且他们还让她的工作
更加有趣、有挑战性，
更加有趣、有挑战性，
10:57
because they knew what Tracy could handle.
209
645680
2120
因为他们知道特蕾西可以办得到。
11:00
Fast forward to 2015,
210
648400
2456
时间快进到2015年，
11:02
Tracy's been promoted.
211
650880
1576
特蕾西获得了晋升。
11:04
They've paid for her
to get her MBA at night.
to get her MBA at night.
212
652480
2416
公司为她的夜校工商管理课程买单。
11:06
She's even hired another relauncher
to work for her.

213
654920
3320
她甚至雇佣了
另一位再从业者为她工作。
另一位再从业者为她工作。
11:11
Tracy's temp job was a tryout,
214
659840
3376
特蕾西的临时工作像是一个试验，
11:15
just like an internship,
215
663240
1656
就像实习项目，
11:16
and it ended up being a win
for both Tracy and her employer.
for both Tracy and her employer.
216
664920
5240
而最终，特蕾西和她的雇主
达到了双赢局面。
达到了双赢局面。
11:23
Now, my goal is to bring
the reentry internship concept

217
671600
4376
我的目标是将这种
再从业实习的概念
再从业实习的概念
11:28
to more and more employers.
218
676000
2736
推荐给越来越多的雇主。
11:30
But in the meantime,
219

1816
但是与此同时，
11:32
if you are returning to work
after a career break,
after a career break,
220
680600
3216
如果你在离职长假后重返岗位，
11:35
don't hesitate to suggest an internship
or an internship-like arrangement
or an internship-like arrangement
221
683840

别犹豫向雇主提议设立实习项目，
或者类似实习项目的想法，

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Carol F. Cohen - CEO and co-founder, iRelaunchCarol Fishman Cohen documents successful transitions back into the workforce after career breaks.
Why you should listen
Carol Fishman Cohen is CEO and co-founder of iRelaunch, a comprehensive career reentry resource for employers, individuals, universities and professional associations. Cohen has been on a dual mission for nearly 15 years: to elevate the profile and champion the success of professionals returning to the workforce after a career break, and to educate and support employers that engage with return-to-work talent. Her goal is to normalize the career path that includes a career break and document successful transitions back into the workforce so that employers understand the value proposition that returning professionals provide.
Cohen is the co-author of career reentry strategy book Back on the Career Track and a returning professional herself. Her return to work at Bain Capital after 11 years out of the full-time workforce is documented in a Harvard Business School case study. She has connected with thousands of professionals who have successfully returned to work after a hiatus, and she has engaged with hundreds of hiring managers to understand their perspectives on hiring people returning from career break.
iRelaunch's flagship event, the annual iRelaunch Return-to-Work Conference in New York City, is the leading external source of candidates for the major Wall Street reentry internship programs and is the largest and longest-running dedicated career reentry event in the United States. Cohen has been tracking career reentry programs of all types since 2008 and writes a series of articles for Harvard Business Review on the theme "The 40-Year-Old Intern." She originated and co-leads the Society of Women Engineers/iRelaunch STEM Reentry Task Force, an initiative to increase the pipeline of female engineers via reentry internship programs at STEM sector companies.
