What pits have we stepped on when we first entered the workplace?

The school recruiting girls in the group once asked me a soul question: which pits did you step on when you first joined the work? What can be avoided? For reference. At that time, I thought silently for a long time, because most of the pits were taken seriously by myself.

But looking back now, the biggest pit I stepped on when I first started working was that I didn't establish a "growth coordinate system"-I didn't know what kind of maturity I wanted to achieve in the new period, and I didn't know what standard each job was qualified, so I was anxious and nervous every day, and I often worked overtime and lost sleep.

In the first few months of my first job, I often blamed myself and felt inferior, because I was a newcomer and couldn't do things well. However, the docking business rarely gives me constructive suggestions face to face, and directly asks me for leadership if there is any problem; Some colleagues in the group will comfort my new classmates not to put too much pressure on themselves, and some will look at my output and smile without saying a word. At that time, I was often praised and criticized, and I was desperate. I always care about other people's comments, hoping to get timely feedback and optimize myself immediately. As a result, because I couldn't accomplish my goal, I worked overtime almost every day and turned on the computer to face the document. I soak a cup of instant food, my eyes are empty, and I look at the endless entropy increase of information on the screen.

The most puzzling question is: am I incompetent? The tutor found this problem, and he pointed out: What you lack now is the evaluation standard.

When we first entered the workplace, we had no coordinates. When the evaluation standard is established, there will be coordinates. Measure your work and yourself.

The first step out of the pit is to find the "standard of things". First of all, compare the entry speed of work with the small partners in the same period horizontally; Secondly, depending on the qualification of the core work, you can also try to think about the differences in the delivery results of predecessors with different working years in the same job. This process made me gradually find the water level line, and also found that it is normal to fail to reach the set goals-often everyone lists a lot of things when reporting at the beginning of the month, but it is good to make one at the end of the month.

The second step is to find a "growth channel"-often learn from peers and know what skills you have been learning in the first few years of your career and which skills have had an important impact on the follow-up work. Combining their common experience, I began to make my own growth plan.

The third step, the simplest and most easily overlooked step: "separation of people and things." Others say that you didn't do well, which means that your results don't meet the expectations of the other party-first of all, you need to make clear the standard of "good". TA may not be right, but you can look at it from a broader perspective. Secondly, even if the work is not done well, it can only show that it is not done well. It's not that you are incapable. You must have this confidence.

After establishing the standard of self-evaluation, I don't care much about how others evaluate me, which brings many benefits-I feel more comfortable accepting negative feedback from others, because I feel that I have done quite well, and other people's suggestions are just icing on the cake; Others say that I am good and I don't swell, because I know what level I am; The boss said that I would be nothing if I left the platform, and I didn't panic, because I knew that most people are like this, and this is a false proposition: my job responsibilities are based on the needs of the organization. If you change places, you just need to see what others do first, and then iterate. Didn't all the methods come up?

Whether they are freshmen, juniors or executives, they all do the same thing-

"Cut off the branches and vines at work, concentrate your time and energy, and only solve the most important things."

"Save time from irrelevant people and unimportant things and go all out to aim at the most important goals. In this process, be confident enough not to be kidnapped by dependent people. "

I hope everyone can find their own happiness in the workplace and become a very great person ~

I like this slogan.
