Every year, a large number of college students step out of the ivory tower with dreams in mind. From student days to working life, an important transition in life is completed. Liu Huan is one of them.

Liu Huan, 24 years old. Last year, I started an internship before graduating from college. She said that the initial days were difficult because she lacked experience and her colleagues were unfamiliar with her, which made her feel confused and bitter. Although she had already been mentally prepared for this, when she actually entered the workplace, she realized that everything she encountered was far beyond her imagination.

From the childish and youthful girl at the beginning to the intellectual white-collar worker she is today, her colleagues say she has matured a lot. Recently, she made a summary of her experience after joining the company for more than a year.

New arrival: the "transparent person" in the office

Liu Huan's major is graphic design, and his advertising company is located in an office building near the intersection of Xi'an Avenue and Anda Street in Changchun City. Last year, after passing the written test and interview, she stood out among many job applicants and became a member of the company.

Liu Huan was assigned to a booth in the corner of the office. She said that her "deskmate" often came to the company in the morning to report in, and then went out to discuss business, and was not seen all day long.

Writing plans, making phone calls, and discussing plans, her colleagues seemed to have endless things to do. She was the only one sitting in her seat, with a thick set of information on her desk, which was what the company had done in recent years. The leader asked her to study the case carefully.

Liu Huan said that he is relatively introverted. When he first arrived at the company, he was unfamiliar with everyone and had no topics to talk about. Sometimes he would sit in the company for a whole day and no one would care about him. Fed up with being a "transparent person," she sought advice from her friends, who told her that she should "take the initiative." Then she began to "sell" herself to her colleagues, and gradually she became familiar with them.

Liu Huan’s experience: Sweeping the floor, pouring water, sharing fruits for everyone every day, and taking the initiative to ask if there is anything I can do to help. Unknowingly, you will find that not only have you become closer to your colleagues, but also some simple tasks I can start working now.

About work: Gradually growing in criticism

Liu Huan said that not long after she started working, her pride in defeating her competitors in interviews disappeared. "Almost everyone in the company has high academic qualifications and strong abilities. I feel very insignificant."

At the beginning, because I was not familiar with the process, it was inevitable that I would make mistakes at work. "The manager is a 'bad guy' and has a short temper. If I don't do a good job, he will get angry and scold people mercilessly."

Once, in an advertising plan designed by Liu Huan There was a typo in it. After the first draft was handed over to the manager, she was on pins and needles. Finally, the manager came to her menacingly. "Such a low-level mistake can be made! Fortunately, it didn't reach the customer." After the "swearing" in the face, the manager gave her four words, "be responsible for it." Liu Huan's tears flowed down unsatisfactorily. A colleague handed her a tissue, patted her on the shoulder and said, "This is what everyone has experienced."

"Liu Huan, why did you spread the document before it was approved?" "Liu Huan, that plan just now stinks! Use your brain more." "Liu Huan..." she said, yes For a while, she would feel nervous when she heard the manager call her name. During meetings to discuss advertising plans, she occasionally had ideas, but she didn't dare to express them, "because she was afraid of making mistakes." Her colleagues encouraged her not to doubt her abilities, as opportunities would always come.

After a year of hard work, Liu Huan said that her job is now relatively smooth and she is not so afraid of "dirty" leaders. How did she do it?

Liu Huan’s experience: Record every mistake to avoid making it again. For leaders, the main problem is communication. Sometimes I have good ideas, but I am too nervous to say it well when facing the leader. So I tried to communicate through QQ and text messages, and the boss accepted it very well. He understood my thoughts and gradually assigned me more tasks.

About interpersonal relationships: You cannot change others to change yourself

Three months after joining the company, there are basically no problems at work, but interpersonal relationships trouble Liu Huan. Once, the manager called her and a male colleague to the office to discuss the plan. “Colleagues think that option A is more budget-friendly, but I think option B is more effective.” The manager couldn’t make up his mind at the moment, so he said it would be better to take a break and go out for a cigarette before making a decision.

The manager and his male colleague went to the corridor to smoke, while Liu Huan returned to his desk. “When the manager came back, he told me directly that they had just decided on option A.

This made her feel very unfair, "Just because I can't smoke, I can't lose the opportunity to participate in the discussion. Do I have to change my living habits because of this?" "

Liu Huan said that similar to the "cigarette meeting", the company also has a "lunch meeting." "Colleagues are used to using lunch time to talk about work. I didn't know it at first. Later, a sister told me that working meals are actually It is also a kind of social interaction. After I joined, I found that not only could I get closer to everyone, but I could also get some exclusive first-hand information. ”

Liu Huan’s experience: Work and social interaction are inseparable. If you can’t change others, try to change yourself. Participate in more group activities and be less maverick. Gather your colleagues with humility, tolerance, and good listening. Network, accumulate the power of success

Newcomer mood

Depression is a required course

Young people who are not experienced in the world will inevitably encounter bumps and bruises when they first enter the workplace. Like Liu Huan, depression is a compulsory course for most people.

@小青: When I first arrived at the workplace, everyone else was wearing professional suits and badges. I was dressed in casual clothes, and I was stopped by security as soon as I entered the building. They stopped me and asked me where I was from and asked me to show my work permit. I had just arrived and I had no time to apply for a work permit! I explained over and over again that the security guard wouldn’t let me go upstairs. I was so angry and anxious that I had to call the master who took me there. I called him and asked him to go downstairs and pick me up. Later, I hid in the bathroom and cried for a long time...

@蜈蝈: It's 10 o'clock in the evening. Just now, I knew sadly that I couldn't sleep at night. The boss gave an order to work overtime at night to complete the plan. Is my job a 24-hour work? When we first arrived at the company, we were all a group of young people who "worked hard" regardless of the cost. How could we become free labor in their eyes?

Human Resources Manager

Do the little things first

Gao Bo is the manager of the human resources department of a company. She gives the following advice to newcomers in the workplace: The following suggestions are given.

“Newcomers lack experience and have few connections. Only by being serious and proactive can they be recognized by the company. If the leader doesn't give you a job, it doesn't mean that you don't take it seriously. You must learn to find things on your own. If you take small things like distributing documents and organizing information seriously, you will definitely leave a good impression on others. More often than not, companies observe newcomers, observing their abilities, enthusiasm, and development potential, and these are often reflected in small things. Only by doing small things well can they have a chance to become big things. "

What kind of newcomers does the company like?

It likes proactive newcomers

"I have also led many newcomers. I found that people who are likeable all have one characteristic: they will find work for themselves, they will take the initiative to ask if they need help, and they will carefully record what they have done wrong so that they will not do it again next time. They may have had a glorious past on campus, but in the workplace everything has to start from scratch. The most important thing is that after clarifying these things, their attitude will become humble. "Gao Bo said.

"In fact, smart newcomers can do everything without being taught, because they have been learning attentively, so newcomers must learn to observe. In addition, you must know how to take responsibility and take the initiative to take responsibility for mistakes, so that you can gain a foothold in the workplace. "Li Xiang, the business manager of a certain company, said.
