So let's talk about it.

那我們就來談談吧。

If we haven't met, my name is Cassandra, and I am a career coach who has helped people go from hating work to happy work.

如果我們沒見過，我叫卡桑德拉，是一名職業教練，幫助人們從討厭工作到快樂工作。

I love helping people change jobs and get into that right fit for them.

我喜歡幫助人們更換工作，讓他們找到適合自己的工作。

So if you are here, it's probably because you already just got a job or you're new in a job.

所以，如果你在這裡，很可能是因為你已經找到了一份工作，或者你是新手。

Congratulations either way.

無論如何都要祝賀你。

Hooray.

萬歲

So before we get into the one thing you have to do a couple of weeks in a work, there are some things leading up to that that we need to talk about.

是以，在我們開始討論你必須在工作中做的幾周內做的一件事之前，我們需要先討論一些相關的事情。

So number one, make sure in those first couple of weeks you're really becoming familiar with your role, where things are, and who does what.

是以，首先要確保在最初的幾周裡，你能真正熟悉自己的角色、工作地點以及誰在做什麼。

This sounds like, no duh, Cassandra.

這聽起來就像，咄咄逼人，卡桑德拉。

Like, why wouldn't I do that?

我為什麼不這麼做呢？

Of course.

當然。

But people don't.

但人們不會。

After the first week, you kind of get in the rhythm of things.

第一週過後，你就會逐漸進入狀態。

The first two weeks, you sort of get in the rhythm and you forget like, oh yeah, I don't fully know that process, or I don't know where something is located.

頭兩週，你有點進入節奏，你會忘記，哦，是的，我還不完全瞭解那個過程，或者我不知道什麼東西在哪裡。

Take some time to review your notes, read through a training manual again, skim the Google Drive files or your Dropbox or whatever to kind of see what's around and what's out there that you're really getting familiar with the lay of the land.

花點時間回顧一下你的筆記，再讀一遍培訓手冊，瀏覽一下 Google Drive 文件或 Dropbox 或其他文件，看看周圍有什麼，有什麼能讓你真正熟悉的東西。

Then the second thing I recommend doing is make your own systems.

然後，我建議做的第二件事就是建立自己的系統。

So please hear me.

所以，請聽我說。

You should always use systems, processes, procedures that the company has laid out, right?

你應該始終使用公司制定的系統、流程和程序，對嗎？

I'm not saying go change things up and go, oh, well, I decided to do it this way.

我不是說要改變現狀，然後說，哦，好吧，我決定這樣做。

No, no, no.

不，不，不

I'm just saying sometimes companies will have trainings for you that are on videos.

我只是說有時公司會為你提供視頻培訓。

And when you have to go do it, you don't want to go watch a whole video again, right?

當你不得不去做的時候，你不想再看一遍整個視頻，對嗎？

We don't have the time for that.

我們沒時間做這些。

Or they have step-by-step descriptions of how to do something with the pictures showing you the screen of then you click this button, and then you click that button, and then you do this thing.

或者，他們會用圖片逐步描述如何做某事，向你展示點擊這個按鈕、點擊那個按鈕、然後做這件事的畫面。

And it's almost like too much detail that, again, we might not have time when we're in the actual moment to go through all that every time.

而且，這幾乎就像太多的細節，同樣，我們在實際操作時可能沒有時間每次都去看這些細節。

And maybe you just need a checklist of first I do this, then I do this, then I do that.

也許你只需要一張清單，先做這個，再做這個，然後再做那個。

Whatever works for you.

只要適合你。

Maybe it's the opposite.

也許恰恰相反。

Maybe they've just given you a checklist and you're like, I need to see some screenshots of where things go.

也許他們只是給了你一份清單，而你卻想，我需要看到一些東西去向的截圖。

So you're gonna flip it and make the opposite version.

所以你要把它翻過來，做一個相反的版本。

Essentially, make your own training manual, or really to me, this is like making your own study guide when you were in college.

從本質上講，製作自己的培訓手冊，或者對我來說，這就像在大學時製作自己的學習指南一樣。

Did you ever try and study off a test off of a friend's study guide?

你有沒有試過用朋友的學習指南來複習考試？

And then on the next test, or maybe on a different situation, you made your own study guide?

然後在下一次考試中，或者在不同的情況下，你會製作自己的學習指南嗎？

Half the learning comes in the making of the study guide.

學習的一半來自於學習指南的製作。

I couldn't sound nerdier right now if I tried, or more academic.

我現在的聲音聽起來再呆板不過了，或者說再學術不過了。

But it feels like you're saving time by just using a friend's, but it was actually harder probably to learn and memorize because you didn't have to connect the dots and organize the thoughts.

不過，用朋友的感覺好像更省事，但實際上學習和記憶可能更難，因為你不需要連點成線、整理思路。

I did not mean for that to rhyme.

我不是故意押韻的。

When you make your own study guide, you're in the process, you're connecting the dots and you're putting things together in a way that makes sense for you.

當你製作自己的學習指南時，你就在這個過程中，你將點點滴滴聯繫起來，並以一種對你有意義的方式將事物組合在一起。

And that's where a lot of the memory comes from, the reflection comes from, et cetera, is in the process of creating it.

在創作的過程中，很多記憶和反思都來自於此。

So that's kind of the same reason why I want you to be making your own training manuals, guides, et cetera.

這也是我希望你們製作自己的培訓手冊、指南等的原因。

Just start making the things that will help you be efficient at your job, even if the company didn't make those things.

只要開始製作能幫助你提高工作效率的東西，即使公司沒有製作這些東西。

Okay, the next one.

好，下一個。

Start keeping track of what you're working on and what you're doing.

開始記錄你在做什麼，你在做什麼。

I have started not one, but three jobs where my supervisor was out of town either the week I started or the week after I started.

在我開始工作的那一週或之後的一週，我的主管不在城裡。

And they come back and they don't know what I've been doing, right?

他們回來後不知道我在做什麼，對吧？

They trust I'm doing something.

他們相信我在做什麼。

No one was a micromanager, but I just always wanna make sure I have some proof of like, hey, this is what I've been working on.

沒有人是微觀管理者，但我總是想確保我有一些證據，比如，嘿，這就是我一直在努力的方向。

And so just start keeping a list, tracking like this is what I've learned, this is what I've been working on, this is how I'm spending my time.

是以，你要開始列一個清單，追蹤我學到了什麼，我一直在做什麼，我是怎麼花時間的。

It doesn't have to be ultra detailed.

不一定要非常詳細。

If you are an ultra detailed person, by all means, go ahead.

如果你是一個極其細緻的人，那就請便吧。

Just know it doesn't have to be, but we wanna keep track of kind of what we're learning and doing so that we can show that if necessary.

雖然不一定要這樣，但我們想記錄下我們的學習和工作情況，以便在必要時展示出來。

And then I suggest start a wins file now.

然後，我建議現在就創建一個 wins 文件。

A lot of executives do this.

很多高管都這樣做。

I had a boss tell me to do this, but always keep a file of when people send you thank you emails for your work, or if there's anything you're really proud of that you've done or in a meeting, someone said you had a great idea, et cetera, write all those things down.

我的一個老闆告訴我這樣做，但一定要保留一份文件，當別人為你的工作給你發感謝郵件時，或者如果你做了什麼讓你非常自豪的事情，或者在一次會議上，有人說你有一個很棒的想法，等等，把這些事情都寫下來。

If nothing else, this is going to help you when you have a bad day.

如果不出意外，當你遇到不順心的事情時，這將會對你有所幫助。

When you have a bad day or someone didn't like your work, you can go look at that file and remind yourself, no, look, I do good work.

當你遇到不順心的事或別人不喜歡你的工作時，你可以去看看那份文件，提醒自己：不，聽著，我做得很好。

This was one bad day or one bad moment in a day.

這是糟糕的一天，或者說是一天中糟糕的時刻。

And look at all the other good things I've done and look at all the other people who appreciate.

再看看我做過的其他好事，再看看其他感激我的人。

So keep it for yourself, but it's also really helpful when you come to your annual review, you can present some of these things.

所以，你可以自己留著，但在你接受年度審查時，你可以介紹其中的一些內容，這對你也很有幫助。

It's gonna help remind you when they make you do that pre-survey thing and stuff.

當他們讓你做預調查之類的事情時，它會提醒你。

So just start doing those things now.

所以，現在就開始做這些事情吧。

But the number one thing I want you to do is you're going to ask for a 30-day review.

但我希望你們做的第一件事，就是要求進行為期 30 天的審查。

Now, some companies have amazing programs set up that they do 30, 60, 90-day reviews with all employees all the time.

現在，有些公司制定了令人驚歎的計劃，他們會一直對所有員工進行 30 天、60 天、90 天的審查。

But what I have learned is most companies, even if they have a 30-day review, oh, I'm busy that week.

但我瞭解到的是，大多數公司即使有 30 天的審查期，但那一週我很忙。

Oh, I'm out of town that week.

哦，那周我不在城裡。

Oh, this is happening.

哦，這是真的。

And all of a sudden, your 30-day review is on day 90.

突然之間，你的 30 天審查就到了第 90 天。

So make sure you email your boss and just say, hey, I would love to get 30 minutes on your calendar just to do a 30-day review.

所以，一定要給你的老闆發郵件，就說，嘿，我很想在你的日程表上安排 30 分鐘，做一個 30 天回顧。

I'd love to just check in and see how I'm doing.

我很樂意來看看我做得怎麼樣。

When you have that meeting, come prepared with that list of things you've been working on, things you've been doing, and any questions you have.

開會時，帶著你一直在努力的事情、你一直在做的事情以及你有的任何問題的清單，有備而來。

We may not end up presenting everything, but you just kind of want to have it ready just in case, just in case you start to hear them say like, well, you know, I haven't seen you working on that much of this.

我們最終可能不會把所有東西都展示出來，但你就是想把它準備好，以防萬一，以防你開始聽到他們說，好吧，你知道，我沒見過你做那麼多這方面的工作。

And then you can go, oh, actually, I've been doing this, this, and this.

然後你就可以說，哦，其實我一直在做這個、這個和這個。

And you can get it figured out, right?

你能想通的，對嗎？

You can see where there might be some recalibration needed between both.

可以看出，兩者之間可能需要重新校準。

Ask them, what have I done well, and where do you think I could improve?

問他們，我在哪些方面做得好，你們認為我在哪些方面可以改進？

The nice part about doing this at 30 days is we can't take the feedback too personally.

在 30 天內完成這項工作的好處是，我們不會把反饋意見看得太重。

Like, you're too new to get it right.

比如，你太新了，不可能做得很好。

When they tell you things you need to improve, it's like, well, yeah, of course, because I've only been here 30 days.

當他們告訴你需要改進的地方時，你會說，嗯，是的，當然，因為我才來了 30 天。

But it also helps you know, these are the areas that matter to them.

但這也有助於你瞭解，這些領域對他們來說很重要。

So this is where I'm gonna focus my time on improving.

是以，我要集中時間在這裡改進。

So it's kind of a really nice time to get that feedback, because it's nothing that you've worked on for three years, and now you're just learning they didn't like it.

是以，這也是獲得反饋的好時機，因為這並不是你工作了三年的成果，而現在你才知道他們並不喜歡。

It's, oh, yeah, I've done this for a couple of weeks.

哦，是的，我已經做了幾個星期了。

Great, I didn't realize I need to learn more about this area.

太好了，沒想到我還需要進一步瞭解這方面的知識。

I'll learn more about this area.

我會進一步瞭解這方面的情況。

To me, it's giving an opportunity to your boss to address some things that maybe they didn't love how you were doing, and they wanna fix it, but it didn't feel big enough for them to say anything.

在我看來，這是給你的上司一個機會來解決一些問題，也許他們不喜歡你的工作表現，他們想解決這個問題，但他們覺得這個問題還不夠大，還沒有說什麼。

But if it went on and on and on, it's like, oh, no, then it becomes a big thing.

但如果一直這樣下去，就會變成一件大事。

And instead, we can just nip it in the bud right now and figure out the best ways to work together.

相反，我們現在就可以把它扼殺在萌芽狀態，找出最佳的合作方式。

You're also probably gonna hear really great things that you've been doing and why they appreciate having you on the team.

你還可能會聽到你所做的非常棒的事情，以及他們為什麼感謝你加入團隊。

So don't think it's all gonna be like doom and gloom feedback.

所以，不要以為這一切都會像厄運和陰霾反饋一樣。

It rarely is, but it's just a great time to kind of get those things under control before they get out of hand or become bigger issues than they needed to be had they just said something to you in the beginning.

這種情況很少發生，但這恰恰是一個很好的時機來控制這些事情，以免它們失控或變成更大的問題，如果他們一開始就對你說了些什麼的話。

The other thing that's great about this is it's going to show automatically that you can handle feedback, you can handle some criticism.

這樣做的另一個好處是，它將自動向你展示，你可以接受反饋，你可以接受一些責備。

Hopefully, it's useful feedback.

希望這些反饋是有用的。

And if it's not, that's another video, really, but you get to choose what you do with the feedback somebody gives you.

如果不是，那就是另一段視頻了，真的，但你可以選擇如何處理別人給你的反饋。

But at least in the moment, it's gonna show, hey, I can handle feedback and I can handle some criticism.

但至少在當下，它能表明，嘿，我能接受反饋，我能接受批評。

Not to mention, it shows you have a desire to succeed.

更不用說，這表明你渴望成功。

This proves to them like, wow, they really care about being here.

這向他們證明，哇，他們真的很在乎在這裡的生活。

They wanna do well.

他們想做得好。

They wanna hear how to do better.

他們想知道如何做得更好。

That's great.

好極了

They're not just clocking in and out or checking their watch for the end of the day.

他們不只是打卡上下班，也不只是看錶下班。

It's going to signal to them, I care about this job and doing my best at it.

這將向他們傳遞一個信號：我很在乎這份工作，並將盡全力做好。

So that's a wonderful thing.

這真是一件美妙的事情。

And then one small note on this, I highly recommend not making this meeting on a Friday.

還有一點，我強烈建議不要在週五開會。

I have just learned that getting any sort of feedback, learning any sort of big news about a company, any of those things, anything that could change your role in any way or the direction of the company, people need to quit making those meetings on Fridays because what do we do?

我剛剛瞭解到，獲得任何形式的反饋、瞭解公司任何形式的重大新聞、任何這些事情、任何可能以任何方式改變你的角色或公司發展方向的事情，人們都需要放棄在週五召開這些會議，因為我們該怎麼辦？

We think about that all weekend.

我們整個週末都在思考這個問題。

And so now not just one night is ruined until we move on, our whole weekend can be ruined.

是以，在我們繼續前進之前，現在毀掉的不僅僅是一個晚上，我們的整個週末都可能被毀掉。

So while I don't think you actually will get any crazy hard advice in this meeting or crazy feedback or criticism, it's only been 30 days, I still don't want you to have the time to sit and stew on it all weekend.

所以，雖然我不認為你會在這次會議上得到什麼尖銳的建議，或者瘋狂的反饋或責備，畢竟只有 30 天，但我還是不希望你整個週末都有時間坐在那裡苦思冥想。

You wanna put this in the middle of the week or the beginning of the week so that you learn about it and then you have days where you can work on improving the thing immediately.

你應該把它放在一週的中間或一週的開始，這樣你就能瞭解到它，然後有幾天你就能立即著手改進這件事。

We don't have to wait.

我們不必等待。

So that's just a little bonus tip for you.

所以，這只是給你的一個額外小提示。

Now, I have two other videos where I talk about ways to start off on the right foot in your job.

現在，我還有兩段視頻，講述瞭如何在工作中正確起步。

You can watch those here and here and I'll see you in the next one, bye.

你可以在這裡和這裡觀看，我們下期再見，再見。
