五点助你登上职场高峰

2. Sweat the small stuff.
2. 关注小细节

Tiny missteps may derail your career. You appear unpolished when you talk like an adolescent, curse at colleagues or proffer a sweaty palm.
有些小小的失误也许就会令你的事业发展偏离你的预期轨道。讲话像个小孩子、说同事的坏话、跟人握手时手心汗津津的，都会显得你这个人很没有教养。

Outdated clothes, frayed cuffs, messy hair, scuffed shoes or excess cleavage also signal poor judgment. 'Looking your best at any age is what you should aspire to,' advises Patricia Cook, an executive recruiter in Bronxville, N.Y.
过时的衣服、磨损的袖口、凌乱的头发、破旧的鞋子或者领口开得太低都会令别人感觉你缺乏应有的判断力。纽约州布朗克斯维尔的猎头库克（Patricia Cook）建议，“应当以适合自己年龄的最得体的装扮呈现在他人面前。”

Even bathroom habits count. High-tech recruiter Dora Vell once worked for a major search firm where the receptionist alerted partners if candidates using the guest toilet near her desk failed to wash their hands. (She could hear the faucet.)
就连上洗手间的习惯也会产生影响。高科技人才猎头韦尔（Dora Vell）曾供职于一家大型猎头公司，公司前台办公桌旁边就是客人专用洗手间，如果求职者上过厕所后没有洗手，前台接待员就会给合伙人发出警告。（她能听到水龙头是否有开过。）

This lesson also applies to cover letters. Inspirica, a New York high school and college tutoring concern, found mistakes in 93% of 220 letters from tutor applicants over the past year. Many flawed letters came from experienced writing tutors.
求职信同样也需要关注细节。纽约Inspirica高中和大学补习班去年收到了220封应征补习教师的求职信，其中93%都是有错误的，而且相当一部分是出自经验丰富的写作教师之手。

'Pay attention to everything you write in cover letters,' warns Lisa Jacobson, Inspirica's CEO. 'Otherwise, you will get weed whacked right out.' Her firm hired just 15 tutors in the fiscal year ended in June.
Inspirica公司首席执行长雅各布森（Lisa Jacobson）表示，“求职信的每一处细节都要非常留意。否则的话，就很可能会错失良机。”她的公司在6月份结束的这个财年里仅招聘了15名教师。
