原文: 职场新鲜人:停看听3步走

      社会新鲜人找到工作的喜悦,很快会被上班带来的惶恐给冲淡,毕竟学校与职场大不相同,将让充满理想有冲劲的新鲜人面临种种挑战,例如能否胜任工作、压力调解、人际关系以及利益冲击等。新鲜人容易因想法过于天真而被老鸟当作天兵,不但常闹笑话,而且容易让主管产生坏印象。为了减少社会新鲜人犯错的机会,我们整理出“新鲜人职场守则”,协助大家更快适应职场生活,克服刚踏入职场的种种不适应,在往后的职场之路才能过关斩将,顺利完成自我规划。

      一、少说多听、累积人脉

      新鲜人最忌讳地就是搞不清楚状况,随意地发表意见,毕竟还是菜鸟的你,对任何人事都了解不深,最好是眼观四面、耳听八方。对于不懂的事物,一定要请教前辈,广泛地收集公司内部的信息,了解每个人的个性,找出与他们的相处之道,而且必须广结善缘、累积人脉。

      建议你:避免牵连在派系斗争中,免得被流弹波及而影响未来前程。总之,人际关系是一门很深的职场学问,谨守少说多听、累积人脉法则,才能让你工作更加顺利。

      二、调整理想与现实差距,走出自己的路

      新鲜人刚入职场一定是雄心万丈、抱负比天高,但是入职场几个月后,开始碰到理想与现实冲击的状况,如果不能自我调适,那么一份工作往往作不了多久,就变成职场的游牧民族。学校课本传授的理念和职场的商业竞争法则,经常有天高地远的差距,造成很多新鲜人有曲高合寡、不愿同流合污的自我感叹。

      建议你:找出理想与现实两者的平衡方法,在不违背自己的道德良心上缩短两者间差距,在某些可以妥协的领域稍稍让步,走出一条快乐的工作之路。

      三、将工作压力转为动力,适时排解工作压力

      每一份工作都有不同压力,唯有努力地累积工作实力,让压力成为努力的动力,才是积极面对压力的方法,否则将会陷入可怕的职场恶性循环,像是因为工作能力不足,自己表现差,被主管大声斥责后,更加沮丧,因此每周一开始等周五下班。这样消极的态度将会使你对工作有畏惧感;或是每天加班,还是无法完成主管托付的工作,使自己逐渐地失去自信。

      建议你:除了多向主管请教,自己多加努力外,假日休闲最好以运动或是从事休闲活动,消除平日紧张压力,不要逼自己太紧,也不要太过松散,将工作压力视为常态,并更加积极地学习。

译文: Newcomers in careers: Stop, watch and listen are the three steps.

Newcomers in the society will be happy when getting jobs, but happiness will soon be diminished by trepidation caused by their work.  After all, schools are very different from workplaces, newcomers having ideals and tremendous drive will be confronted with various challenges.  For examples, can they do jobs well?  Do they know how to reduce pressure, forge an interpersonal relationship, and handle conflicts of interest? etc.  Veteran colleagues may regard them as greenhorns because of their excessively fond beliefs and ideas.  Not ony jokes often arise, but also make the supervisors have a bad impression.  In order to reduce the chance of newcomers making mistakes, we have formulated the "guidelines for newcomers in careers".  The guidelines help them get accustomed to working life faster and surmount various adjustment problems at the outset of careers.  Then they can fare well in the career paths, and smoothly complete self-planning.   

1, Speak less, listen more and make more friends.

Failure to grasp situations and expressing nonsensical opinions at random are newcomers' greatest taboos.  After all, you are still a greenhorn and know little about matters concerning people and businesses.  So you had best carefully observe circumstances and listen to others.  As for unfamiliar matters, you must consult experienced colleagues, broadly collect information inside the company, figure out everyone's personality and seek to get along with them.  It is necessary to make more buddies and forge an amicable relationship extensively.

Suggestions:  Avoid being involved in fractional conflicts, so as to prevent being damaged accidentally in strife, which may affect your future development.  Altogether, interpersonal relationship is a profound knowledge relevant to career.  Keep speaking less, listening more and making more friends, you will work more smoothly.

2. Narrow the gap between ideals and reality, go your own way which fits you most.

Newcomers just starting careers are usually ambitious and have sky-high expectations.  However, after a few months, they will get to know that ideals conflict with reality.  If they fail to face the reality and adjust themselves, then they will probably quit their jobs soon and become jobless.  There is often a wide gap between concepts learnt from school textbooks and commercial competitive rules in careers.  That situation makes them sigh, "My standards are high but few others agree, and I won't agree on their low ones either." 

Suggestions: Strike a balance between ideals and reality, seek to narrow the gap between them without compromising your moral conscience.  Make small concessions in some areas in which a compromise can be reached, then you will work happily and harmoniously with your colleagues.

3. Convert working pressure into driving force.

People face different pressures in different jobs.  Only if you try hard to accumulate work experience, you can change pressure to impetus for making efforts.  It is the right way to face pressure positively, otherwise you will plunge into a dreadful vicious circle in careers.  For example, your are scolded aloud by the supervisor because of incompetent job performance and then become dejected, thus from each Monday you are waiting to get off work on Friday.  Such a negative attitude will cause a job phobia.  For another example, you work overtime every day but you still fail to finish the tasks assigned by the supervisor, then you gradually lose your self-confidence.

Suggestions: Consulting the supervisor more and making greater efforts.  Besides those, you had best dispel daily tense pressure by taking exercises or doing leisurely activities during spare time on holidays.  Neither drive yourself excessively nervous, nor let yourself be extortionately relax and idle.  Regard working pressure as a normal phenomenon, and try harder to learn.
