Rebound job 跳板工作

Rebound¹ job  is a job you take knowing that it isn't long term, often due to an emergency situation where you know you’re losing your current job. It provides a paycheck while you take your time looking for a better job.

“跳板工作”指你在接受时就知道不会长期从事的工作，这种情况出现多数是因为你知道你有可能会丢掉目前的工作，是形势危急才做出的决定。在你寻找更佳工作选择期间，“跳板工作”可以让你有份收入。

For example:

Starbucks was totally a rebound job, I was minutes from getting fired and needed something fast!

星巴克那份工作就是个“跳板工作”，当时我快被炒了，急需一份工作。
