First year of graduates under supervision
Thread Content
I’m a graduate from a chemical engineering program; I’ve been working on this project team for almost 4 months now. As for the initial stages of the project, I don’t know where to start learning. For us new graduates, there isn’t much to do during these early phases, so after all this time, I still have nothing much to do every day. I want to learn more about my field of study, but reading books every day doesn’t help me retain much information, and it’s limited to textbook knowledge only – it feels like I’m still in school. If things continue like this, I feel I’ll change careers sooner or later. I would appreciate some guidance from the senior members here. It would be great if the seniors had experience in the early stages of projects and could share it with us juniors. Thank you. . O(∩_∩)O Haha~
Could you tell me which university you graduated from?

Hey, it’s more or less the same for everyone; things will get better over time. I guess you’re still in the probation period, so there won’t be much work assigned to you yet. Take your time! When I had been working for four months, I basically hadn’t done anything ； Later on, there gradually became more work to do, and many things had to be done under pressure! !
I’m in the same situation as the original poster; I’ve been here for half a year with hardly any work to do, it’s really frustrating
I’ve been working for a year and a half now, yet I still haven’t been given any actual tasks to do. How is it possible for reading to make you feel as if you’re still at school? What profound books are you reading? ?
In my organization, you would be practically half an expert. You can’t just not do it; you’re forced to, as there’s too much work to handle.
Reply to 7# wiseboy: lol That’s great; I actually hope it’s like this right now. We’re young; let’s learn more
Reply to 7# wiseboy: What organization do you work for? Haha, maybe I should change jobs then – would you hire me?, :lol
Reply to 6# penryn: The key isn’t how advanced the books are; it gives one a sense of being in school. You understand what I mean, right: lol
That’s how it goes! I felt the same way when I first started working; things got better over time. What you learn in school isn’t very useful at all – you need to do more, read more, and ask more questions! After half a year, you should be able to handle it; don’t be impatient! This is also why employers are reluctant to hire newcomers! It’s something everyone has to go through
