Newcomers' workplace confusion, details can reflect a person's personality, how to solve this problem, workplace contacts are also accumulated little by little, and there are many invisible traps in the workplace. I'll take you to understand the newcomers' workplace confusion. I hope it works for you!
Newcomers' confusion in the workplace 1 confusion 1 vague career orientation
Career orientation means that professional people determine their career direction according to their own interests through full understanding of the development of the industry.
It is the unity of self-orientation and social orientation. Usually faced with the following situations, it is easy to have a vague career orientation: 1, the choice of major does not match your hobbies; 2. Blindly apply for a job without fully considering their own advantages and disadvantages; 3. Not satisfied with the current working condition, but at a loss; 4, facing multiple choices, or not sure about future career development.

Yang Yanhua (Director, Career Guidance, Talent Agency, Dongan Employment Agency, Xuhui Branch, Shanghai Employment Agency)
Evaluate your professional interests, professional abilities and hobbies comprehensively, objectively and systematically, and analyze what you are suitable for. What can you do? Know yourself and yourself, and find a role that suits you.
Analyze the professional market and workplace. Finding the meeting point between social needs and personal hobbies, and clarifying the role in society, it is easier to successfully choose a job.
Individuals live in different environments at different stages of their career development, especially in career transformation or job-hopping. They should compare their own advantages and disadvantages, make mature and rational thinking, and foster strengths and avoid weaknesses.
If necessary, with the help of comprehensive evaluation of professional orientation, professional ability and professional interest, we can understand what kind of personality characteristics we belong to and provide reference for our professional orientation. A clear career orientation can help individuals make fewer detours in their career choices and make themselves comfortable in the workplace competition.
Confusion 2 Lack of career planning
Career planning refers to analyzing and determining an individual's personality, ability, specialty, interest and potential, and making corresponding career planning according to the industry development and employment standards of the market, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of personal career development. However, many people seldom consider making such a plan and get lost.

Hideyoshi Sugawa (talent agent of Shanghai Rizong Human Resources Co., Ltd.)
Generally speaking, the word "career planning" often makes people feel difficult, complicated and troublesome. Some people think that "it is a matter for senior talents and has nothing to do with themselves".
The reason for the lack of career planning is that you think too complicated about career planning and give up designing your own career planning. Career planning is a management tool for career, and its core is "talking with yourself about work and knowing yourself". The best way to talk about work with yourself is to "write to yourself" and write to yourself in the future. In the letter, I talked with my future self about my work, as well as encouragement, praise and criticism. The contents of the letter are all factors that constitute a person's career planning. The more specific the letter is, the clearer the work plan will be. Letters can also be written repeatedly on a regular basis, because everyone's career plan is different from others. After all, the plan is still a plan and needs to be revised according to the situation. This is the so-called management and maintenance of career planning.
Confusion 3 Lack of job hunting skills
The whole job search process can be divided into four stages: enterprise selection, resume submission, interview process and probation period. There are many methods and skills to improve the success rate of job hunting at each stage. However, according to the survey, more than 80% of professionals' job-hunting skills mainly focus on two aspects-resume writing skills and interview skills. Insufficient attention is paid to the first and last links in the job search process, and job search skills are also very scarce. However, the relevant professional training courses lack innovation and pertinence in the technical research of skills.
prescription
Peng Ming (Deputy Director of Huangpu Branch of Shanghai Employment Agency)
The lack of job-hunting skills often means that there are problems in communication skills, expression skills and social skills, and these skills are the key to opening the door to the workplace.
Communicate with the applied position: exactly, know the position, what skills and qualities you should have, including the company's industry positioning and development goals, and what help you can give this company. After understanding the basic situation of the position, compare yourself, make preparations and prove your skills and quality to the examiner.
Communicate with the examiner: for those who are not good at talking, it is best to talk about what they are best at, help themselves get into the state as soon as possible, and avoid being unfamiliar because of nervousness.
Communication skills: imagine the questions that the examiner may ask and prepare your own interview questions.
Puzzled 4 older job-hunting obstacles
The job-hunting obstacles of the elderly generally exist in people who lack core competitiveness. Because the professional skills and professional knowledge system have not formed strong competitiveness, many people put stability and salary first in the process of job hunting, rather than being closely related to the sustainable development of personal competitiveness.
With the increase of age, the professional value declines. Because of the characteristics of the position, enterprises put forward clear restrictions on age requirements, so many people have encountered the problem of age threshold in job hunting.
prescription
Lu (Shanghai Employment Agency Xuhui Branch, Dong 'an Employment Agency, Employment Guidance)
Age has become an insurmountable gap in job hunting, which makes many older job seekers stay away from the job market. However, older job seekers also have their own advantages, such as rich experience and hard work. Therefore, older job seekers should be good at fostering strengths and avoiding weaknesses, choosing their own strengths and making up for their own shortcomings.
The mentality of job hunting should be peaceful: because after the age is rejected by the unit, you should adjust your mentality and believe that you can still make a difference.
Don't be harsh in job hunting: older job seekers can't rely on how high their wages were in the past, but have higher requirements.
Multi-channel job hunting: actively promote yourself through the labor market, talent market or other channels and go to the market.
Make up for your shortcomings in time: those who have skills without certificates can obtain certificates through training; Those who have no skills and education can start from lower-level jobs.
Break through the limitations of large companies: Generally, large companies have strict age requirements, while small companies generally require multiple functions for a position in order to reduce the cost of employing people. On the contrary, they favor many older job seekers who know technology and have management experience.
Confusion 5 interpersonal conflicts in the workplace
In modern enterprises, the relationship between colleagues and superiors, which was originally simple, has become complicated because of the distribution of interests such as division of labor and cooperation, and promotion of positions. Emotional intelligence skills-interpersonal skills, often determine a person's work performance, for those who work hard in the workplace is the key. However, there are many professionals who often can't handle the interpersonal relationship at work, which affects the development of personal work.
prescription
Lu (Shanghai Employment Agency Xuhui Branch, Dong 'an Employment Agency, Employment Guidance)
First of all, it is clear that interpersonal relationship is not the whole job. Only by doing things in a down-to-earth manner, working diligently and creating more achievements can we be recognized in the workplace. Strength is the key to a foothold in the workplace.
Actively face "interpersonal conflicts" and actively establish friendly relationships with colleagues in different departments-harmonious interpersonal relationships will not only make you feel happy at work, but also help you when you need it.
Avoid getting involved in interpersonal struggles. If you are passively involved in the whirlpool of fighting, the best way is to play dumb and wait until the situation is clear.
Always remember and work hard. Because strength is the strongest power base in the workplace!
Understand and feel the corporate culture. When the team culture reaches the ideal model, it can not only accommodate people with different personalities, but also give perseverance to overcome difficulties.
Confusion 6 "overwork" in the workplace
Career development is staged. The higher the promotion, the greater the responsibility and the greater the pressure. Young professionals often have a misunderstanding that youth is their greatest capital, not their work ability and career management ability. They lack experience in dealing with long-term competitiveness. Physical and mental disorders such as fatigue, depression, irritability and insomnia caused by fatigue, stress, challenges and setbacks are often the prelude to illness.
prescription
Huang Weifang (Deputy Director and Career Advisor of Jing 'an Branch of Shanghai Employment Agency)
There are two kinds of "overwork" in the workplace, one is "false overwork" and the other is "true overwork". "False overwork" refers to fatigue caused by one's own subjective factors. In this case, we should start from three aspects.
Clearly understand the work objectives and avoid doing useless work. I feel like I'm working hard. In fact, many times it is because my business level is not good or my working methods are wrong.
Be familiar with your work and arrange a reasonable work order. We should learn to work, pay attention to the rules and methods of work, and arrange the work order reasonably.
Find happiness and satisfaction from work. Workplace leave "overwork" is mostly psychological fatigue. Therefore, we should strive to get emotional pleasure from our work and get satisfaction through the successful completion of our tasks.
If it is "really overworked", when the unit seriously "exploits" the labor force, it should learn to protect its legitimate rights and interests and solve the problem according to law through labor inspection or labor arbitration.
Confusion 7 job burnout
Job burnout refers to people's physical and mental discomfort, psychological exhaustion, emotional closure and sub-health caused by internal and external factors such as environment and emotion in their intense and busy work.
The symptoms of job burnout are: being at a loss about career prospects and lacking enthusiasm and motivation for work. It is easy to produce fatigue, boredom, anxiety and irritability. Depression, listlessness and mental fatigue.
prescription
Hideyoshi Sugawa (talent agent of Shanghai Rizong Human Resources Co., Ltd.)
There are two main reasons for job burnout: first, there is no clear career plan: when choosing a job, there are no clear conditions, or there are only treatment conditions and no other conditions. Some people don't even consider the specific work content, development prospects, working environment and other factors.
Second, lack of patience: the work situation is changing all the time. Even if it is boring now, there is no guarantee that it will be boring in the future. I feel happy when I want to change my job.
Job burnout does not necessarily need to be solved by changing jobs. Some people will have job burnout after job-hopping, and the more job-hopping, the more serious job burnout. The key to avoid job burnout is career planning.
1. Analyze why you are caught in job burnout: list all the reasons you can think of, and you may find that the reason for job burnout is not at work;
2. Analyze the current work situation: have a new review of your work.
3. Solution: Do you know whether your job burnout is caused subjectively or objectively? Can you overcome it through your own efforts? If you can overcome it, you can overcome it through your own efforts; If you can't overcome it, you can consider changing jobs. Job-hopping is the last means to solve job burnout, so we must treat it with caution, and never turn a small job burnout into a "chronic" job burnout.
Confused 8 The salary situation is not as good as expected.
There are two manifestations of unsatisfactory salary. One is "this mountain looks at that mountain". On the one hand, I have high expectations for myself, on the other hand, I don't know enough about the market, so there is always a certain gap between salary and expectations. Another kind of performance is that one's contribution is not proportional to one's income, and one can't get the due return.
prescription
Tang Yanqin (Shanghai Employment Agency Changning Branch Career Guidance)
If the salary situation is not as good as expected, we should look at it from two aspects. It may be due to the company or the job seeker himself.
If you think you are qualified for this job, but the unit does not give you the corresponding salary. It depends on whether you like the job or not, if you think you are suitable for it.
Confusion of newcomers in the workplace 2 After working for one year, there are often many confusions: What am I doing? Do you repeat your work every day to realize your ideals? Can my company provide opportunities to realize my ideal? Do I need to find new opportunities? When you face these problems, you enter a confused period of one-year itch in the workplace. Generally speaking, there are three countermeasures: upper, middle and lower. How do you choose?
The last thing to do-complain
Thought: dissatisfied, I can't figure out why.
Behavior: Complain about the enterprise, the boss, the customers, colleagues, oneself, …
One thing didn't work out-it usually takes about two years to get to know the existing job and start looking for other opportunities.
Analysis: The sense of responsibility (mainly to oneself) and the spirit of struggle are poor, the opportunities provided by the existing positions are not fully explored, and the ability accumulation can not reach the necessary threshold for job hopping.
Results: if you don't quit, you may give up on yourself, and your life will be greatly affected, even affecting others;
If job-hopping, finding a good opportunity at once is a small probability event, and the painful days of low-level job-hopping are high probability events.
Zhongce-patience
I thought: I don't know why I am dissatisfied with the former.
Behavior: Patience, a little nervous.
Analysis: lack of sense of responsibility and spirit of struggle, insufficient understanding and exploration of the opportunities provided by existing posts, and insufficient sense of accomplishment.
Results: After a while, if you find out the reasons for your dissatisfaction, find the crux and adopt the best advice, the workplace sky will suddenly open up;
If you don't understand for a long time, or you don't act enough, you may be mediocre, sink down, and even have an improper understanding of the workplace, which will affect your life's development.
The best policy-seeking to maximize the value of existing positions
I thought: I don't know why I am dissatisfied with the former.
Behavior: Job-hopping is not impossible, but in the absence of particularly good opportunities, it is more important to do a good job at present. Ask yourself what you didn't expect, what you didn't do, and what you didn't do well. Try to be excellent first. I'm sure what you don't understand will come to you.
Analysis: Good sense of responsibility (especially for yourself) and spirit of struggle, based on the existing position to explore opportunities and establish happiness.
Results: If you don't work hard enough or have a problem with your direction, the problem will still exist after a while, and you may be hit hard and have doubts about yourself, and you may enter a state of "complaining" or "enduring" from now on. But if we continue to look for new directions and work hard, there is still a chance.
If you are in the right direction and work hard enough, problems will be solved and confidence in the workplace will be established. It is best for some people to think clearly from the beginning, take the right direction and take enough actions; Some people jump ship blindly when they encounter problems, and they have a good chance to catch up and develop smoothly, so you should really congratulate this person-fortunately, it is a minority; More people are having problems. Without such good luck and opportunity, they can only choose from the above three strategies: down, middle and up. It can be seen that the difference between the three strategies lies not in asking questions (thoughts), but in actions and results. Action is the key to changing fate!
