17条毕业生越早知道越好的职场提示
3 years ago I started my first full-time job with my current company. When I was then a fresh graduate without much industrial experience, like what the Cantonese phrase depicts the best (撞板) – I was regularly “hitting the wall” here and there (making mistakes). Thankfully throughout these few years I met a number of absolutely amazing bosses / mentors and buddies, they shape up my professional life with numerous invaluable guidance and coaching.
Since not everyone is privileged to have these mentoring sessions, I feel that it’s my obligation to share what I learnt (am still learning and practising!), especially with new graduates who are young, talented and brilliant.
Here you go the career tips which I find them most useful and practical (not everything is applicable to you so pick what works for you okayz) – good luck with your career!
Engrave these principles in your mind
1. Your job is to make everyone else’s life easier
You are here to solve problems, not create them.
你的任务是使每个人的生活更轻松
2. Make your boss look good, your team look good, yourself look good
Do something which will bring positive impacts to yourself, your team, your boss. Never do something which will hurt anyone’s image, feelings.
让上司自我感觉良好给老板面子，维护你部门的形象和地位，保持自己的声誉
3. If you keep thinking you are a graduate (intern / newbie), everyone else will treat you like one
No need to feel inferior when compared to other experienced peers, you have your values to add.
如果你老觉得自己是新人，每个人都会把你当新人使
4. Be passionate about your work
Go for extra miles and enjoy your job.
对工作要保持热忱
5. Attitude is the master key
It’s okay if you are not an expert (yet), we can train you if you are willing to learn, hardworking, proactive… you know what I mean.
你的态度决定你在职场的高度
These unspoken rules will ease your work
6. Manage expectation
a. Clarify the timeline, requirements and expected results, do not make assumptions. If boss says get it done soon, check with her/him “when” exactly – end of day? Tomorrow evening?
b. Always set a deadline with your stakeholders.
管理别人对你的期望，设下明确的时间表，要求和预期结果，不作假设。
7. Play football, not rugby
When any query / issue comes to you, pass it on to someone else or resolve it (goal it). Do not let the emails park in your mailbox for long without responding.
学会踢足球，不是橄榄球。交给你的活应及时解决或马上传给别人，不要让工作攒在自己的邮箱里而没有行动。
8. Always follow up
You think others will get back to you just because you send them an email? Keep on following up with your users, teammates, counterparts – emails, phone calls, meet face-to-face.
随时跟进自己的工作

Draw a stakeholder map, know who the most important users are, who can help you / support you when needed.

Think how you can improve the situation, streamline the processes, and challenge the status quo.

Build Your Career
12. You are the one managing your own career, not your manager
Do not expect manager to do this for you, you are the one responsible for it.
别指望老板给你事业铺路，你是唯一一个该对自己事业负责的人

When you are doing the right things, career opportunities, title promotion and everything else will come along.
把该做的做好，事业机会升职加薪会随之而来

Build your network now; it will be too late to start doing it only when you need it.
职场上靠的都是人脉
15. Engage with corporate activities outside of your day job
Corporate activities give you visibility to others and build your profile, but do remember that you are still measured by your job performance.
积极参与部门外的公司活动，但要记得年终评估老板还是会以你的工作表现来衡量
16. You are right only when you have a job
Be compliant to the laws and regulations, follow company rules and framework. There is no point to prove to someone that you are right when you are fired.
如果你还想要有工作的话，最起码要符合法律，遵循公司的规则
17. Always strive for excellence
It’s easy to do a great job once in a while; the challenge is to be consistent.
始终追求卓越，一两次的成功并不难，关键是如何保持一致的工作表现
