????6. 你的職責將是什么？拉扎克問：“作為一名應屆畢業生，你是否會被困在一個底層崗位上，或者你是否很快便能承擔重任？”盡量弄清楚自己在這家公司內的職業發展前景。他說：“如果你發現在六個月或一年之后，你可以做許多事情，這是一種好的標志。你應該問這樣的問題：‘如果在這個崗位上做到成功，結果會是什么樣？它能給我帶來什么？為了能夠承擔更多責任，我需要證明什么？’”

????7. 你是否有適當的個性，能夠在初創公司大放異彩？拉扎克說：“與在大公司不同，在很大程度上，你通常需要自己確定自己的職責。人們不會告訴你該做什么，何時去做，而是希望你自己去弄清楚許多事情。所以你應該考慮，自己是否擅長發現機會，把握先機，把事情做好。這一點非常重要。”并不是所有人都樂意這樣做。你是否樂意呢？在這個問題面前，一定誠實以對。

????他補充道，在初創公司工作“挑戰性更高，需要付出更多精力。但等你適應了之后，你會發現，自己在初創公司一年所學到的東西，要比在大公司五年還要多。”很大程度上是因為，為一家處于初創期的公司工作，風險遠遠低于人們的預想。因為“你未來總有機會為一家大公司工作，”拉扎克說。“大公司在尋求各種途徑，提高創新性和靈活性。因此，大公司對于在創業環境中工作過的人，有著很大的需求空間。”

????祝你好運！

????反饋：如果你曾經、或者目前正在效力于一家初創公司，你是否同樣認為，學到的經驗可以抵消風險？如果你是一名招聘經理，你會更中意具有創業背景的求職者嗎？歡迎評論。（財富中文網）

????6. What will your role be? "As a new grad, will you be boxed in to a menial position, or will you have significant responsibility quickly?" Razzaq asks. Try to get an idea of what career progression you can expect, too. "If you see a lot you could be doing in six months or a year, that's a good sign," he says. "You should ask questions like, 'What would success in this job look like, and where would it lead? What will I need to demonstrate in order to get more responsibility?'"

????7. Do you have the right personality to shine in a startup? "Unlike in a big company, you usually define your own role to a large degree. Instead of telling you what to do and when to do it, people will expect you to figure a lot of things out for yourself," Razzaq says. "So it's important to consider, are you good at spotting opportunities and seizing the initiative to get things done?" Not everyone is comfortable with that, so be honest with yourself.

????He adds that working for a startup "is more challenging and takes more energy, but if you're up to it, you will probably learn more at a startup in one year than you would at a big company in five." Partly for that reason, working for a firm that is still in its infancy is less risky than it might appear, because "you can always work for a big company later," Razzaq says. "Large corporations are looking for ways to be more innovative and nimble, so people who have worked in an entrepreneurial environment are in demand."

????Good luck!

????Talkback: If you've worked for a startup, or work for one now, do you agree that the learning experience offsets the risk? If you're a hiring manager, do you prefer candidates with an entrepreneurial background? Leave a comment below.
