When we come into contact with a new thing, we can easily fall into a situation where we don’t know how to open it. It's like we just entered a new company, with a new environment, new colleagues, and a new job. We often sit there and don't know what we should do all day long. In the past, many companies had a strategy of bringing the old with the new. However, with the rapid pace of social development, not all companies have induction training. Old employees have no time to bring new people, let alone bosses. So, a phenomenon occurred. On the first day of work, a new employee sat in his seat with no one paying attention to him. He didn't know what to do, so he just casually browsed the web and browsed around. Forums, chatting, the whole day passed in a daze. Moreover, this situation can last even for a month. Therefore, what you do during the one-month trial period after joining the company will also determine whether you can continue to stay in the company.

Newcomers to the workplace

Don’t be obsessed with onboarding training

My friend Xiao Li, Having graduated from a college, his diploma was enough for him to find a very good job.

However, when he was looking for a job, he had a very special habit of asking if the company provided induction training.

When the interviewer says that his company does not have onboarding training for the time being, he will decisively stop considering the company. So, within a month, he interviewed nearly 30 companies in a row, but none of them were successful.

Later, he finally found a company that he liked, and it happened to have onboarding training. So, he went to work happily.

However, he only worked at this job for a week, and was fired by his boss before even completing the induction training.

It turned out that during the on-the-job training, although he seemed to have taken the training seriously, he was unwilling to find things to do by himself, and he could not even complete the tasks assigned to him by his boss.

Newcomers in the workplace cannot just be obsessed with onboarding training. The company also needs to develop rapidly, and there is not much time to train new people. Moreover, if your performance in the induction training makes the company dissatisfied, the company will immediately terminate cooperation with you.

So, workplace training is one aspect, the key lies in your efforts and actions.

No induction training

Just learn to explore on your own

When I first entered the workplace At that time, an important reason why my boss reused me was that I knew how to explore on my own.

At that time, my job was investment online sales, and there was no onboarding training. A colleague who joined me was fired by his boss after working for half a month, but he kept me.

Later, my boss told me: "Your advantage is that you know how to explore on your own."

I didn't understand online sales at the beginning, but I understood that this knowledge can be used on the Internet. Found on.

So, I made my own inquiries on the Internet and observed the practices of my colleagues, and gradually learned about investment and online sales.

Onboarding training is not the only way to "understand the company's business". It also depends on your self-study ability and your willingness to work hard.

Yesterday, someone asked me whether I can make money by doing self-media. Many people are concerned about making money, but what I want to tell you is that there are only a few people who can make big money. It's like in the workplace, there are always professional elites and ordinary people.

However, when this friend expressed his wishes to me, he was not very willing to put in any effort. He just felt that many people had made money from it, and it would be nice if he could make some money from it.

How is this possible? It's like you join a company, do nothing and still want to get paid, unless your relationship is very strong.

Moreover, in the self-media industry, there are overwhelming tutorials on the Internet. These are equivalent to "onboarding training", but if you are not willing to put in the effort, then my suggestion is, don't do it yourself. Time wasted on the media.

Newbies entering the workplace

Do three things to quickly break the awkward deadlock

In fact, after entering the workplace for the first time, we can have a lot of room for development. Unlike old employees, they have their own work tasks and plans, and they don’t even understand the company’s business. At this time, we do What seems particularly important.

Through my five years of exploration in the workplace, coupled with my observation and consultation with people in the workplace, I have the following three suggestions for newcomers to the workplace.

What is the company’s breakthrough point? That is, when you don’t understand the company’s business, one of the points can help you quickly understand the company’s business.

My suggestion is to think of yourself as a customer. If the customer wants to understand the company's business, which aspect will they enter.

Regarding this, we can start from the company’s past cases.

My last job was as a copywriter and event planner. However, before this job, I had no experience in event planning.

My approach is to look at the company's past cases, explore the characteristics and uniqueness of these cases, and sort out what I have discovered into words, which is very important for understanding the company's business. , is the best way.

What the old employees are doing reflects what the company does.

Just like my first job when I first entered the workplace, I was doing investment online sales. However, whether it was investment or online sales, I didn’t know what to do.

So, I went to observe the daily practices of those old employees. For example, adding friends, learning investment information, visiting forums, etc. These simple things are not difficult for me at all.

So, I did these things every day, and gradually the leaders paid attention to them.

Dale Carnegie, the father of success science, once said: "Those who do not prepare for tomorrow will never have a future." This famous saying is about the importance of planning.

When we, as members of a company, really get involved in work, most leaders will assign a task to everyone: make a task plan and submit the goals to our supervisor every day.

In fact, in the eyes of many professionals, this is useless. However, without planning, the efficiency of our day will be greatly reduced.

One person who has obviously changed is my former colleague, Xiao Wang, who works as a copywriter and planner in the company like me.

In the past, he had never made any plans or goals, so when he was working, I would often see him either worrying about today's work or chatting with friends.

At the end of the day, he did nothing at all.

Later, the leader asked him to make a detailed work plan every day and submit daily goals to the leader.

Just like that, about a month later, his work efficiency was several times what it was a month ago. In the past, he could not write an article in a day, but after a month, he was able to handle several copywriters.

Therefore, planning is very important for everyone.

For newcomers, planning is even more necessary.

For example, we can plan to look at some of the company’s past cases today and summarize our experience; we can plan to learn from old employees’ experiences tomorrow, and finally make a summary.

Finally, I would like to say something to the newcomers in the workplace: Don’t think that just because you are a newcomer, you have a reason to do nothing. In this highly competitive society, if you are not willing to do anything, there are more things to do. Many people are waiting.
