A newcomer to the workplace, quite confused
Thread Content
I just graduated this year, worked at a small private company for a few weeks, and now I’m feeling lost. There’s a master who is leading two guys who came with him, while I’m just doing various odd jobs. I’ve tried to ask the master for guidance, but I haven’t received any response; I’m not sure if this is normal
Sure, when you have the time and opportunity to come into contact with more things, feel free to ask questions if you don’t understand anything. Skills are learned through practice; it mainly depends on oneself.
Newcomers might not necessarily think so~ After all, everything is the result of both parties involved. If a master teaches you how to do things and you’re not proactive, inefficient, and además arrogant, then why would the master bother with you – he’d just leave you alone ； If the master disdains you because you’re young and doesn’t want to teach you, then talk to him privately, maybe go out for a meal or something.
Yes, there is some time that can be handled freely. But in this way, I feel like a mouse trying to drag a turtle – not knowing where to start. Have a master to guide you; there’s a direction to follow
That’s quite true; I do pay attention to manners as well, it’s not like what you said. I’m not very quick to build relationships; things like offering a cigarette to start a conversation are awkward for me since I don’t smoke. It’s difficult to grow without changing oneself, and one should also try to get close to the mentors
As long as you are willing to learn and make an effort to do so, you will have many mentors; everyone around you can be a mentor. Among any three people, there is surely one who can serve as my teacher. Mentors bring many benefits; each mentor has their own areas of expertise, allowing us to build on one another’s strengths and learn knowledge, skills, and experience from different fields. As for professional craftsmen, it has been clearly explained on the 3rd floor. One must not only learn *skills but also learn *problem-solving abilities.
It’s fine to keep watching more, chat with the master, and learn things from the forums; once you’re able to contribute your own thoughts, then you’ve won.
Study, I’m already far behind; even if life is a long race, I don’t have the energy to keep going
I’m actually quite envious of those who can talk non-stop. As long as I’m better than I was yesterday, that’s enough. At first, my mind was in complete chaos; I was still wondering what field would be the right one for me to pursue
People in technical fields talk little; let’s communicate slowly!
Take your time; you can look at the relevant materials now as well – it will be fine once you start working on the project； There are no projects right now that can teach you anything you can’t remember
