TIPS TO YOUNG PERSON STARTING A NEW JOB By Reza Ganjavi
It is important to mange your manager.
Good managers welcome your help in managing yourself.
It
is important for limits to be set early on. If you limit yourself too
much in the beginning it's hard to extend those limits later.
You
are a person and have a personal life as well and it is completely
normal to take some time during the work day to attend to things in
your personal life that need attending to. This frees your mind and
helps you be a better worker.
Work smart. Find the best and fastest way to get the job done in best possible quality.
Build
in quality in everything you do. Strive for excellence in everything
you do. A mediocre person goes half way up the mountain.
It's
important to complete things as soon as possible. Completion feels
good, and opens doors to the new. Creation comes out of destruction,
death, ending, completion.
Manage
stress. Stress management is a key in succeeding at everything you do.
The society is very stressed. Many people caffeinate themselves up and
companies like that because the faster you work the more productive you
are. So coffee in the morning and coffee after lunch has become part of
the culture... but stimulating the system chemically creates stress.
Enjoy what you do. That is the key in happiness.
If your job is "boring" there is always a chance to observe your mind and heart and body.
Stay aware of your reactions, of all that goes on in your mind and body. Awareness is key to inward quietness.
Simplicity is very important. The most complex problems need to be approached simply.
Order is essential. Order on one's office `
Clear communication is extremely important . Take good notes.
Stay healthy.
If you need to stay late to get the job done, do it. Don't be a clock watcher.
Keep
your desk and your email inbox clean. It's an extension of your conciousness whether
you like it or not. I don't like email but I have to use it because
it's convenient and it's part of the Zeitgeist. The easiest way to do
it is to create one or more folders for things that you're finished
with -- archive off those messages that you're done with (or delete).
You want your inbox to have only messages that you need to deal with /
address / answer, etc. -- you can also make a "low priority" folder of
open messages that don't need immediate attention, but do go back to
that folder and address and archive those (or delete) as well. It's
also common courtesy and respect to answer every mail that deserves and
answer or feedback. A feedback can simply be, "thanks", " :) ", "ok" ,
or a longer line. If you're close to the person and they know how you
feel and you can be sure of that, then a reply is not necessary, but
even then, more communication is better than less when it comes to
electronic exchange which is so prone to misunderstandings because it
lacks that personal touch of e.g., handwriting. So feedback is even more important in electronic communications.
