职场新人必看：工作中犯了错怎么办

Everyone makes mistakes, they say. Usually you can correct your error or just forget about it and move on. Making a mistake at work, however, can be more serious. It may cause problems for your employer and even affect the company's bottom line. Repercussions will ultimately trickle down to you. Simply correcting your mistake and moving on may not be an option. When you make a mistake at work your career may depend on what you do next.

人都会犯错。通常情况下你可能会改正你的错误或者忘记犯过的错误继续前行。但是工作中犯错就很严重了，很可能给你的雇主造成麻烦甚至影响到公司的底线。最终还是会反应到你头上。简单的改正你的错误然后继续向前可能不在选项之中。在工作中犯了错之后，你的职业生涯就取决于你下一步的行动了。

Admit Your Mistake: Tell your boss about your mistake immediately. The only exception is if you make an insignificant error that will not affect anyone. Otherwise, don't try to hide your mistake. You will look terrible if someone else discovers it.

承认错误：立刻跟你的老板承认你的错误。除非你犯的错无关紧要不影响别人，否则不要试图掩饰你的错误，要是被别人发现你会很惨。

Present Your Boss With a Plan To Fix Your Mistake: When you go to your boss to confess your mistake, you must have a plan for correcting it. Present your plan clearly. Tell your boss how long it will take to implement your plan and if there are any costs involved.

带着能弥补错误的计划去见老板：当你去见老板承认错误的时候，必须带着一个能弥补错误的计划。把你的计划讲清楚。告诉老板你的计划要多久才生效，还有是否需要额外的费用。

Don't Blame Anyone Else for Your Mistake: Pointing fingers won't help anyone if you make a mistake. Encourage those who may share responsibility to follow your lead in confessing to your boss.

不要因为你的错误责怪任何人：如果你犯了错，指责别人没有任何帮助。鼓励那些愿意和你分担责任的人跟着你一起去找老板承认错误。

Apologize for Your Mistake But Don't Beat Yourself Up: There's a big difference between admitting your mistake and beating yourself up about it. Take responsibility but don't berate yourself for making it, especially in public.

为错误道歉但不要把自己打倒：承认错误和把自己打倒之间有很大的差别。承担责任，但不要苛责自己，尤其是公共场合。

Correct Your Mistake on Your Own Time: If you have to spend extra hours at work to correct your mistake, don't expect to be paid for that time. You can also use your lunch hour or come into work early.

用自己的时间弥补错误：如果你不得不加班来弥补你的错误，不要指望拿加班费。你还可以用午餐时间或者提早上班来做这些事情。
