Anyone who has searched for a job fresh out of college knows how difficult it is to get that first job. Sending out hundreds of resumes, only to get a few interviews in the end – if you’re lucky! — and if you’re VERY lucky, eventually there’s a job offer on the table. 每一个刚出校园的人都知道找第一份工作有多么不容易。海投了数百份简历，运气好的话，可以得到几个面试机会，运气再好一点，则有可能得到一个工作机会。 Should you take it, or wait for something better to come along the way? 拿到了第一个工作offer，是果断接受还是等待更好的机会呢？ It depends on whether you are a “maximizer” or a “satisficer,”. Maximizers want to explore every possible option before buying a camera, settling on a television show, ordering takeout, choosing a job. They gather every stick of information in the hope of making the best possible decision, even if they exhaust themselves in the process—and drive themselves mad when they realize, inevitably, there’s more information they missed. If you are a satisficer, however, you make decisions based on the evidence at hand, not all the evidence that might possibly exist anywhere ever. 这取决于你是“完美主义者”还是“易于满足者”。完美主义者无论是买摄像机、看电视节目、订购外卖还是选工作，都想要探索每一种可能性。他们收集了自己能找到的每一条信息，以期尽可能做出最好的决定，哪怕付出的代价是让自己在这个过程中精疲力竭——乃至把自己逼疯，因为他们总会不可避免地意识到自己遗漏了某些信息。但是如果你是个易于满足的人，你做决定的依据就会是手头掌握的资料，而非可能散落在天涯海角的零散信息。 |
