First of all, make preparations before all the work.
Many people think that there is nothing to prepare before joining the company except simply knowing the company information or getting to know the company online.
In fact, for new employees, there is still a lot of work to prepare. The more sufficient these jobs are, the more you can adapt to the job as soon as possible, give full play to your abilities and be appreciated.
According to my past practice, I will ask HR for two materials after confirming my Offer: job description and company introduction (company structure table and department structure table).
Job description is to understand the core content and requirements of my future work from the perspective of the company, so that I can be better prepared before I officially join the job, such as buying relevant books or learning more online.
The introduction of the company made me know more about the company's culture, strategy and structure. Let HR provide the organization chart of the department and let me know the level and name of the people I will work with in the future as soon as possible. Imagine meeting each other for the first time and calling each other by their first names. Will they like you better?
For colleagues' messages, I will even ask HR to tell my colleagues' birthday time and let me give them some small surprises in advance when they celebrate their birthdays. Of course, HR may not provide this information immediately, but you can look for opportunities to get it later after you join the company:) These small surprises are not used to flatter, but to express your love to colleagues at the right time. This relationship culture will also have a very positive effect on your work. Isn't it a pleasure to let your colleagues become your relatives? You know, you often spend more time with your colleagues than with your family.
On the other hand, pre-job preparation is the preparation of personal working ability. If your job is customer service, you should read more books about customer service and customer psychology before joining the job, and even take some training courses in this field to strengthen your skills in this field theoretically. If your position is sales, then you should start to understand the company's products, sales channels and promotion models, and then check the related information of products in the same industry online. Anyway, try to understand the core content of the post before joining the job.
Finally, have a serious chat with your family, whether it's parents, partners or lovers. Because the new job will change your lifestyle to a certain extent, especially in the first 3-6 months after joining the company. Parents are easy to communicate with. What they are most worried about is whether you can adapt to work, whether you are too tired, and whether you can get along well with your colleagues and superiors. Communicate with parents in advance, and they will feel more at ease. Sometimes young people are more self-centered, and may not care too much about their parents' worries and feel bored and perfunctory. In life, only your parents are your solid backing in all aspects, so be patient and be kind to your parents. They are also easily satisfied. Watching you grow up is their greatest comfort.
If you are a partner or lover, you should communicate better, especially when you first join the company, and often work overtime. Your old habits and lifestyle may change because of your new job. These changes, whether you or your partner, need an adaptation period. Communicate well in the early stage, let your partner be your absolute backing, and ignore these details, which may make your other half ignore her (him) because of work, causing your troubles.
We all imagine and expect the good side of work before we take part in it, and often forget that everything is closely related to good luck. For example, getting an Offer whose income is better than the average level of the same industry often means that you need to pay more time and energy, and the time you enjoy life will decline; For example, your new offer is higher than before, your income is better, your responsibilities and problems are more, and you even need to work during the holidays.
Therefore, after receiving the Offer, in addition to expecting better development in the future, we should also consider things that may affect our lives, communicate early and deal with them early, so that we can concentrate on our work as soon as possible.
Second, diligence needs people to show the way.
After a period of preparation, I finally got the job. In addition to the excitement, we should also pay attention to the fact that the real challenge has just begun.
When you come to a new workplace, everything is strange. If you don't understand the system, culture and even "hidden rules" of the new company, many "traps" will be around you. New colleagues will also pay special attention to your performance, observe you privately, evaluate you and understand your ability. All the shortcomings can be seen on a magnifying glass.
In some large enterprises, there is a set of perfect and systematic training, systems and processes to help newcomers integrate. They will appoint a senior colleague of the company as your mentor to provide guidance and support for your work in the first three months. Simply put, they will send a master to help you adapt and integrate into the company.
And some companies with weak management systems may just give you a desk and tell colleagues around them that everyone will support Xiao Li more in the future. Then I turned to you and said, Xiao Li, ask them if you have any questions. They are all family members.
Whether the new company adopts the mentoring system or the stocking system, you need to take the initiative. Because hard work can't make you adapt to your new job as soon as possible, only "initiative" can help you win the support of your colleagues.
Take the initiative.
Generally speaking, if you are a newcomer and don't understand the operation of the company, the company or department head will not assign you a clear job, and sometimes they will even "forget" your existence when they are very busy. Some introverted newcomers will sit in a corner without being greeted and will not take the initiative to ask the supervisor. In these cases, you must take the initiative to accept the job, don't just wait and die. Take the initiative to ask each other what work they can share. Even if you don't get a job in the end, you can help make copies or buy some afternoon tea or something. Anyway, in a word, you can get a sense of existence.
Active consultation
Colleagues have their own busy jobs and can give you extra help. Besides taking the initiative, don't expect too much from your colleagues to provide extra help. It is not his core job responsibility to help you integrate into your work all the time.
Therefore, in the workplace, newcomers should take the initiative to consult senior employees. I have seen a newcomer do something wrong and then directly blame the problem on his colleague who explained his work. "I used to do the same thing, but he didn't tell me I couldn't do it …" This kind of work attitude will only make you isolated in the workplace.
Of course, there are still many colleagues who are willing to guide newcomers in the workplace, so as a newcomer, you should take the initiative to ask for the support of others, make them willing to help you, and get satisfaction in the process of helping.
How to satisfy those who help you? The best way is to give him feedback in time after getting his help. "The situation, thanks to your advice last time, I helped Jason's reimbursement pass the finance smoothly. If it weren't for you, you might not be able to get through now? " Simply put, let the other person know the result of your help and thank him for his help in time. Everyone wants feedback on their suggestions, and sincere thanks will make others more willing to help you grow.
Third, the boss is a solid backing.
For newcomers, sometimes there will be "acrophobia", that is, fear of communicating with superiors. In fact, you can receive an Offer, which shows that your boss approved your ability through the interview. You are the one who can help him. Now that you have been hired, he certainly wants you to grow up quickly than anyone else. So, you might as well keep in touch with your boss at the beginning of your job.
At several points in time, I suggest that you must talk to your boss face to face.
On the first day of employment, thank the boss again by email or WeChat.
In the first month of employment, report the work of this month and the brief explanation of adapting to the company's progress by email. Don't write too much, just let the boss know your work status through the email of the newsletter.
In the third month of employment, you should have taken over some specific work by this time, and even some work needs you to plan and promote. You can organize the work of the first three months into a work report by email, and communicate your work plan and ideas for the next three months with your boss.
During this period, I will have face-to-face communication with my boss once or twice regularly to exchange ideas and opinions on some work, which may be
Your boss may not accept your suggestions or even approve of some of them. It doesn't matter. Through these communications, you can not only better understand the boss's work patterns and habits, but also better integrate you into the company and better demonstrate your ability to cope with the company's unique culture and habits.
Three months to half a year before starting work is a crucial period for newcomers to lay a good foundation, which will not only enable you to carry out your work better, but also enable you to better control your work, give you more time to enjoy your life and make your life and career more balanced. We must understand that work is not only about doing good deeds, but also communicating with the core personnel around us and knowing more about the relevant situation, so that things will get twice the result with half the effort.
