I’ve been at work for a year yet still don’t have any work to do……

I graduated and joined a design firm; after a year, I still hadn’t been assigned any projects to work on, and my initial enthusiasm for work and motivation to learn were fading away... I wonder if everyone who starts working in design goes through a slow start like this?
Those who are assigned projects from the very beginning are undoubtedly lucky； The company hired you because it needs people to work there; take advantage of the time when there are no major projects and have a proactive attitude, learn from those with more experience, ask questions frequently, and be willing to help out ； It is estimated that a project can be started soon. It’s also possible that the company currently has few projects and thus excess staff. It’s never a bad idea to take the initiative to learn*, work hard, and maintain a positive attitude.
There is work to do right from the start, usually when the organization is short-staffed; under normal circumstances, that’s not the case.
Take a look at the books first – those design regulations and certification documents from your design institute. Once you actually get a project, you’ll realize there’s an enormous amount you need to learn.
Don’t just sit idle; take a close look at various design standards, the company’s relevant design documents, and past projects. Think for yourself about why certain things need to be done in that way, and master all the necessary tools – otherwise you’ll be caught off guard when a project comes along. This is based on my own experience.
Learn * as soon as possible; pick up a reference book and read it over and over again. You’ll find that it will make things much easier for you when working on projects in the future. Cherish the present moment; I was in the same situation back then too, and it took me a year before I started working on projects.
Since there are no projects to work on, it’s time to recharge quickly; once there are projects available again, you’ll realize there’s a lot that needs to be learned. Find those regulations and standards, and take a look at them, study them.
It’s been a long time since I last saw Cyclone, the moderator, hehehe
