介绍事件，引入具体事件是为了阐述趋势或者普遍性
①②③评价离职情况④叙述离职后情况
①When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August, his explanation was surprisingly straight up. ②Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses, he came right out and said he was leaving “to pursue my goal of running a company.”③Broadcasting his ambition was “very much my decision,” McGee says. ④Within two weeks, he was talking for the first time with the board of Hartford Financial Services Group, which named him CEO and chairman on September 29.
分析原因，具体事例分析裸辞内在原因
①②第三人称说明裸辞原因③过渡句④⑤⑥具体案例进一步说明
①McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run. ②It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspirations.③And McGee isn’t alone. ④In recent weeks the No.2 executives at Avon and American Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post.⑤As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executives who don’t get the nod also may wish to move on. ⑥A turbulent business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations.
分析原因，分析裸辞外部原因
①外在刺激因素②③正反两面论证①
①As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold, deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net.②In the third quarter, CEO turnover was down 23% from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had, according to Liberum Research. ③As the economy picks up, opportunities will abound for aspiring leaders.
过往论证，以前裸辞不常见
①直接摆出作者观点②③过去招聘规则迂回论证①
①The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional. ②For years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached.③Says Korn/Ferry senior partner Dennis Carey: “I can’t think of a single search I’ve done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first.”
举例论证，过往裸辞不常见的原因
①转承上文过往裸辞的风险性②③④⑤实例论证说明①
①Those who jumped without a job haven’t always landed in top positions quickly. ②Ellen Marram quit as chief of Tropicana a decade ago, saying she wanted to be a CEO.③It was a year before she became head of a tiny Internet-based commodities exchange. ④Robert Willumstad left Citigroup in 2005 with ambitions to be a CEO. ⑤He finally took that post at a major financial institution three years later.
阐明现状，新的辞职规则已经制定
①旧观念在转变②③④说明旧观念转变的原因
①Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers. ②The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one.③“The traditional rule was it’s safer to stay where you are, but that’s been fundamentally inverted,” says one headhunter. ④“The people who’ve been hurt the worst are those who’ve stayed too long.”
