Looking for a master
Thread Content
I have been working in process design for over half a year now, but there are still many things I don’t understand. I’m looking for a good mentor to teach me; I promise to be a good apprentice. As for why I choose to learn from a mentor online, the reason is quite simple: there are no complex interests involved like those with colleagues at work. At work, one has to rely on self-study, and it’s very difficult to do that alone. I’m male, 25 years old, and have a bachelor’s degree.
It seems they have a lot of trust in people from Kaichuan :) I’m not qualified to do that; I just view things from a different perspective. First of all, it’s not impossible to learn* without following the instructor assigned by the unit; however, once a certain period of time has passed, you will have to take on tasks. At that point, the instructor who assigned you will have something to say, as he will evaluate you based on your performance under supervision. The normal process might be that when a new member joins the team, a mentor is assigned by the leader, and the mentor takes care of arranging the basic tasks. In simple terms, it’s working for the master. Learn * during the drying process until it matures. If it’s like this from the start, it will be a problem figuring out how to survive in this team going forward. Now, acquiring knowledge doesn’t rely on emotional connections or expressions; learning skills is just one aspect, and what’s more important are public relations. This relationship can begin with showing respect for teachers…… This is the perspective of a retired old man from a small village, offered for your consideration.
There is a designated instructor, but they seem quite busy; often they give rather vague answers or tell me to ask someone else.
It’s better to focus first on how to build a good relationship with your current supervisor – it’s extremely important. These days, it’s really necessary to be smooth and savvy; at least at the beginning of one’s career. You work in design, and if you don’t have knowledge in optics, you need to think carefully, learn from existing examples, pay attention to details, and follow standards – all of which are very important. Make your own decision! Go ahead!
Give up illusions and stay grounded. Take the initiative to learn on your own*, master the basic ideas and skills of communication, and be able to express problems clearly and concisely. If your questions are of good quality, others will be willing to give you guidance; specific issues should be discussed on a case-by-case basis
This still has to be learned through hands-on work; there’s a wide range of techniques involved. By being diligent in learning, asking questions, and maintaining a proper attitude, I think it’s rare for experienced mentors not to pass on their knowledge. As for personal experience, it needs to be understood and accumulated over time
Dry process; very curious about the design
In process design, it often depends on your own understanding and experience; the mentor will only guide you at the beginning, and you have to forge ahead on your own from there
Working in a company, knowing how to handle relationships is an art
If a master has been sent, why not make use of them? It’s not appropriate to ask in public, so I asked privately; learning knowledge is the most important thing. Your supervisor finds it inconvenient to answer in public; there are constraints involved. It might not be your problem or hers – it could be that the relationships with the management aren’t right, you know what I mean. Observe more in the office, learn more*, and integrate into the team atmosphere. It is also part of learning*.
