Chapter 7 Survival Guide for the Probationary Period
When you get the Offer (appointment letter), congratulations, your professional life begins. At the same time, you will face the toughest challenge "trial period" for the next 3 months.
What exactly is the trial period ?
The probationary period is a period of mutual understanding and two-way choice during which the employer evaluates the laborer and the laborer also evaluates whether the employer meets their own requirements . During the probationary period, both the employer and the worker have the right to terminate the labor contract at any time.
How long is the trial period ?
For newcomers in the workplace , the probation period is mostly 1 to 3 months . In the IT industry, the companies I have seen are basically 3 months, and the performance can be turned positive in advance. If you are told by HR during the interview that the probation period is 6 months, it is best not to go to this kind of company, they just want to live up to the burden Responsible use of cheap labor.
Is the trial period not covered by five insurances and one housing fund?
The probation period is the same as the formal employment , and the employer must apply for five insurances and one housing fund , which is a legal obligation .
Five insurances and one housing fund refer to : endowment insurance , medical insurance , unemployment insurance , work-related injury insurance, maternity insurance, housing provident fund
However, many small companies are not formal , and they will not inform you during the interview that you do not have five insurances and one housing fund during the probationary period . There is a big hole to pay attention to here . For example, Beijing needs to pay social security for 60 consecutive months to be eligible to buy a house in Beijing. Confirm with the company about the payment of social security during the probationary period. Once it is interrupted, your dream of buying a house in Beijing will have to start all over again.
In addition , you need to confirm the payment base when you apply for insurance. I teach you to calculate the fees you need to pay. Taking Beijing as an example , the company informs you that the payment base is 5000 , and the monthly personal payment for five insurances and one housing fund is 1110. The details are as follows:
Do you not sign a labor contract during the probationary period ?
The "Labor Law" clearly states that a labor contract should be concluded when a labor relationship is established. The employing unit should sign a labor contract with the employee at the latest when the employee starts working for him, not after the probation period expires.
Day one, make a first impression
On the first day of employment , Qi Laoshi's first suggestion was : Hold on, don't panic !
Maybe this is the first job in your life, and you are inevitably a little excited , and your expectations and worries about the new environment make you a little uneasy . Remember, when the company chooses you, it means that you are excellent. Being overwhelmed, incomprehensible, and restless will only give the employer a bad impression , "Did I choose the wrong one?"
On the first day of the job , don't dress too casually , just be clean and tidy , and a little formal . What? If you don't know how to match, the safest way to dress is to imitate your interviewer's dress style, and again, it's better to be clean and tidy.
On the first day of work , don’t be late . It’s best to arrive 15 minutes early. Seeing your department leaders and colleagues politely “good morning” will give you a lot of goodwill points. On the first day of employment, there are two main things: going through the formalities and getting familiar with the environment. Qi Laoshi's suggestion is to "do whatever you want".
When going through the entry procedures , Ms. HR will usually ask you to provide ID cards , academic qualifications , photos , resignation certificates , certificates and other materials , which will be mentioned in the Offer . By the way, bring a notebook and a pen. A few days before joining the company, the company will conduct "new employee training" to record the precautions of various processes in the company, so as to avoid stepping on thunder in the future.
After you go through the onboarding process , your supervisor will guide you through the work environment . Smile and be polite. When meeting with teammates, the supervisor will ask you to introduce yourself, and it is best to prepare in advance. For example: "Hello everyone, my name is XX , I'm a Java engineer in our team , please take care of me." After the self-introduction is over, it is the team members' turn to introduce themselves. The most important thing for you today is coming. Open your ears and remember "everyone's name and position". Remembering names is so important to bring colleagues closer together. You think, "Brother Zhang", "Brother Li", and "Sister Wang" are always closer than "Who", aren't they?
The last thing on the first day of employment is to familiarize yourself with the job position. Usually, the supervisor orally explains it. You must listen carefully, ask questions if you don’t understand, and write it down carefully with pen and paper. Study the documents and materials that your colleagues give you, and gather together what you don’t understand before asking your colleagues for advice. Don’t bother others. In the future, I will invite the seniors to a meal at an appropriate time to express my gratitude.
The above things are done , congratulations . Have a nice day , you made a good impression on your colleagues willing to do business with you .
The first week, build a professional image
On the first day of employment, there is a limited time to "show your face". One week after joining the job, the opportunities for contact will increase, and then you will have a preliminary and concrete understanding of you. Usually, the company will not give you substantive tasks during this period. Basically, you are familiar with the environment and learning materials. During this period, the leaders are secretly working Watch your little details.
New employee training
Most companies will arrange "new employee training" after new employees join the company, which aims to introduce the basic situation of the company, make employees understand the basic content and methods of the work they are engaged in, clarify job responsibilities, procedures and standards, and instill the expectations of the company and the department. Attitudes, norms, values and behavior patterns, etc., help new employees adapt to the environment and positions smoothly, and enter the role as soon as possible.
"New employee training" must be paid attention to and taken seriously. Generally speaking, in addition to HR , your supervisor and even your boss will be present for new employee training . If you don’t perform well, you are finished. Here are the new employee training details I put together for you :
- Listen carefully , do n't doze off , or you will definitely " don't survive two episodes ".
- Bring paper and pen, and write down carefully. A good brain is not as good as a bad pen.
- Sit forward, preferably under the eyes of the supervisor.
- Sit upright , the back of the chair is not for you .
- The mobile phone is muted , and it is not a major event not to answer , and a major event quietly beckons to leave the venue low-key to answer .
- The lecturer asks questions, don't be shy and bravely raise your hand to answer, this will be your first show.
- There may be an exam after the meeting , the handwriting is neat , try to get full marks .
details at work
From a natural person to a professional person, it is the excess of doing things according to interests to the needs of work. To be professional in life, please remember the following ten military rules:
- In addition to eating and going to the toilet, sit at the workstation at other times.
- Mute your phone when you work , keep it quiet , and don't interfere with other people's work .
- Obey orders , obey orders , say " yes " more and less about conditions.
- If there is a task to rush forward , try to complete it as early as possible , and take the initiative to ask Ying .
- Don't flatter the leaders , use your work to prove the value .
- Always keep your desk neat and tidy , and keep your computer locked when you leave .
- Keep your distance from the complaining Lord .
- Don't talk about others behind their backs , don't gossip , and don't inquire less about gossip .
- The interests of the team are always greater than the interests of individuals, and they know how to pay.
- Don't be too calculating, be honest with people. Who is "real" and who is "fake simple and honest" is naturally clear when something happens.
Lunch and after get off work are great opportunities for you to bond
One hero has three gangs , and the newcomers in the workplace grow rapidly in the company . Naturally, they cannot do without the guidance of the company’s predecessors , but everyone is very busy . What can you do to make others willing to lend a helping hand to you ? Here I give you a little trick, use your spare time to do what you like, find common interests, and exchange value with each other.
Qi Laoshi used to have a student named Yang Yang (pseudonym), who just graduated from college and entered an e-commerce company. Yang Yang was in charge of the maintenance of the e-commerce backend, and the leader explained some tasks, but the e-commerce backend was too complicated, although he studied for a long time Time, but still no clue, I want to ask the seniors, I am too embarrassed to interrupt when they see that they are also busy. Once he went out to dinner with a few friends at noon, and I don't know which one said "yesterday your mother Qin was really NB, one of them got 5 in high school ", and the others also chatted about LOL . Well, it turns out that they are opening the black. Yang Yang saw that the opportunity finally came. I was a diamond in electricity , so I took the initiative to ask to join their lineup. Because of his coquettish handling and fine positioning (Yin) and tired of walking (Dang) , the other Bronze Pig teammates won 7 games in a row with 5 black belts. The relationship between them was immediately closer, and the problems Yang Yang encountered in his work were naturally solved easily under the guidance of these old people. This is a typical value exchange. Yang Yang used his spare time to get closer to people, in exchange for smooth sailing at work. Interested in these things, as long as you usually observe carefully, you will always find drops.
In a month, let the leader praise you?
One month of entry is an important assessment time point , and a general conclusion can be drawn on whether the newcomer meets the requirements . The company's human resources department generally follows up the new employee once a month to learn about the evaluation of the new employee by the supervisor , as well as the new employee's opinion on the job , the supervisor , and the company . To get your boss to like you, you need to do the following:
- Absolutely obey orders.
In the face of absolute power, you must first learn to obey orders, which is the most important, unless you want to leave. If the assigned task is far beyond your ability, don’t reject it directly when the leader assigns you the task. The correct way is to follow first, earnestly implement the part that you can complete, and clarify to the leader which areas have exceeded through the daily report. Ask for help from experienced colleagues .
- Make an effort to complete tasks ahead of time and pay attention to details .
Time is like a career line, there will always be a squeeze, but if the quality is guaranteed, the leader will not check for typos for you.
- Ask beforehand and be responsible afterwards .
Bring a pen and paper, and write down the tasks assigned by the leader immediately. If you don’t understand, ask immediately. After the leader has finished, you must take the initiative to repeat it again, so as not to go astray. Once the task is taken over, any problem is my responsibility. Don't make excuses, adjust immediately, and don't complain. The office doesn't believe in tears.
- Learn to write a daily newspaper , and you can make constructive comments.
90% of people in the workplace do not actively report their work progress to their superiors. If you can get into the habit of writing a daily newspaper, the leaders will look at you with admiration. The format of the daily newspaper is as follows:
| work daily Reporter: Qi Yi Time: 2018-09-09 Today's work: 1. Refactor the code of " XXX module ", newly discovered and solved 3 P3 bugs 2. The "balance sheet" data model has been designed. 3. Workflow framework Acti viti has begun to study.
Work progress report: 1. The completion of " XXX module" is 70% , and the remaining 4 functions such as XXX are expected to be completed on 2018-03-09 . 2. "Balance and Liability Statement" 20% , the next step is UI selection, and it is expected to be deployed to UAT on 2018-03-16 . 3. " Activiti Framework Research" 10% , it is expected to be taught publicly on 2018-03-30 . improvement measures: During the refactoring process, it is found that there is slow SQL in the "XX module" , and I will ask you whether to include this problem in the development plan in this iteration cycle. |
- Come earlier than the leader and leave later than the leader .
During the probationary period, the leader is very sensitive to your work and rest time, and has a little "sight to see". You run faster than the leader every day, and you are really a dead little expert.
- Usually pay attention to observation, doing things good at imitating.
As the old saying goes , "people and likes gather, and things are divided into groups." Leaders naturally like people who are similar to themselves. The reason why leaders become leaders must be stronger than you. Learn with an open mind.
Just imagine , the leader dresses neatly and neatly , and you dress like a beggar gang leader every day . What does he think ? The leader does things concisely and concisely, but you are procrastinating, what does he think? Therefore, if there is something for you to learn from your leadership, you should work hard to correct it, and gradually you will be valued.
- It is not a "virtue" to run to the leadership's office frequently .
There is a kind of newcomer who firmly believes that "mind and eager to learn, not ashamed to ask questions" likes to run to the leadership's office in both big and small matters, and thinks this is a virtue. Don't, this will only make you ridiculed by colleagues and cold-faced by leaders. The correct way is to ask experienced colleagues if you don't understand. If you really can't make up your mind, you can objectively report to the leader by email. .
If you have accomplished all the above-mentioned details, congratulations, you are already a rare talent in the eyes of the leader, and he is willing to spend more experience training you, and it is no problem to pass the trial period.
