　　Like so many girls of my generation, I went straight from college to society．Through my family's attempt, I found my suitable job．I thought I was doing a great job．

　　One day, a female program director arrived at the station．This large and frightening woman came to work every day with an equally large and frightening German dog．She didn't like me．When she called me into her office one Friday afternoon, she simply said,“You're fired!”leaving me to wonder what had gone so terribly wrong．

　　Six months later, after calling every program director in town, I went to work for another major-market radio station, doing four-minute stories for a low ＄15 each．With two young children and a husband who was just starting his own career, I took a chance．

　　Today, some 28 years later, I am still at WOR Radio with a two-hour daily talk show interviewing celebrities, authors and politicians, giving information to more than a million listeners a week and loving every minute of it．

　　I was young when those firings happened, but the process is still the same．Firings know no age or gender．The trick is to get out from under the covers and make things happen．This is exactly what Sherrye Henry did．

　　Sherrye, when her organization came across a sudden financial failure, she was fired．“This wasn't the first job I had lost．Hard as it is, one must remember that there is always life after losing a job．”said Sherrye．Helpful friends, good luck and a good resume got Sherrye back on track．Within a month, she landed what she calls the most satisfying job of her life：raising money for Episconpal Relief and Development(ERD), which provides emergency assistance to people in 40 countries．

Here are two letters in WORKWORRIES, a column（栏） in a newspaper:

Dear Ariel,

I got a job offer from a high-tech company with a fairly satisfactory paycheck and benefits．Even the work environment is cool．But I heard that the job requires a lot of overtime and even weekends．I know it's important for newcomers to work hard to get their feet planted firmly on the ground, but I'm scared of the idea of having nearly no free time．I still need to find a girlfriend．So, shall I accept the job or give it up for another one with much less pay and more freedom?

Amoretto

Dear Amoretto,

I have two things to say: First, you're lucky to have such an excellent offer, especially at a time when so many qualified（胜任的）people are struggling to find any work at all; and second, you can't figure out your work-life balance until you're actually working．

Take the job．You'll be learning, doing interesting things, working in a cool environment, and making money．If you're given a contract （合同）, make sure you understand the terms before you sign．Ask your boss how many hours a week you're expected to work．If they tell you a number that is much lower than what you find once you're working, you'll be in a better position to talk to them about it．

Give your wor k 100 percent．Work energetically and efficiently．If you're dedicated（敬业的）and focused, you might accomplish more than your co-workers in less time．Showing yourself to be a productive and talented worker for the beginning will give you more bargaining power．Finally, remember that taking a job doesn't have to be a life commitment．Try to give it at least a year （two is better）．If you're really miserable after that time, look for another job that will give you more freedom．By then, you'll have workplace experience, bosses and colleagues who can speak positively about your work and some savings．Good luck!

Ariel
