三和一善 | Ways to Make a Great First Impression at a New Job (組織論第12)

3 Ways to Make a Great First Impression at a New Job
Starting a new job now? Here's what you need to do.
There is value in having a good first few weeks at a new job. On the one hand, it's hard for other people to really assess how you're doing when you're starting out. New projects take a while to produce results. However, there is evidence that when you have a favorable impression of someone, you rate their behavior more positively than when you have a bad impression of you. This is called the "halo effect".

In order to build your aura, there are a few things you can do to get your job running:

Get started before you start
Even before you get there, you should be ready for your first day at work. If you are new to a company, you should read it. If they don't, ask your new boss for some information. Learn as much as you can about what your responsibilities are.

You won't be ready to get the actual work done before you start because you won't know exactly what you're being asked to do. However, the purpose is to familiarize you with terms you may encounter at work, and to start with a set of questions you'd like to have answered. Information can hit you quickly and furiously once you start a new job, so the better you prepare in advance, the easier it will be for you to deal with floods.

This preparation will give you the opportunity to look confident on your first day. It will also allow you to ask better questions. Best of all, you're likely to remember more of what you've been told. All of this will give the first impression that you really have it all.

play and listen
When you first land a new job, it's easy to be an instant hit. The pressure to make an impact can be especially high for someone who is about to take on a leadership role, but it is true of almost any position. Therefore, you may feel compelled to contribute early and often in meetings to make your presence felt.

三和一善

This is where a piece of advice for jazz musicians comes in handy. Jazz musicians often have to play with new groups. When you're sitting with a new group, you should listen more than play. The reason is that if you don't hear what they're doing, you can't hope to fit into the style of music played by other musicians.

Likewise, when you first enter an organization, really listen to people. What concerns do they have? How do they talk about the work they are doing? What do they make as their priority. The more you understand what other people think is important, the better you'll be able to focus your energy on critical tasks.

Serve
In his inaugural address, John F. Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." This attitude of finding ways to serve is a must for any organization you are in. in this way. Regardless of your role, your initial focus should be on how to help those around you achieve their goals.

People remember other people who helped them in the past. Also, most people want to give back to the community members who helped them. Getting started with a new team by helping others enhances a good first impression and creates a sense of support from someone you can count on if you need help in the future.

This service mentality is especially valuable for those in supervisory roles. People who are leading others for the first time often worry about giving the impression of being a strong leader. They may want to give someone else the call to prove they can command a team. However, a leader who can find a way to help his team achieve its goals can build loyalty among followers, which can pay huge dividends.

Wishcycling is putting something in the recycling bin and hoping it will be recycled, even though there is little evidence to support that assumption.

Hope is at the heart of the wishbike. People may not be sure the system will work, but they choose to believe that if they recycle an item, it will become a new product, rather than being buried in landfills, incinerated or dumped.

The U.S. recycling industry was launched in the 1970s in response to public concerns about litter and waste. The development of recycling and collection programs has changed the way consumers think about waste: if it can be recycled to create new products, that seems fine.

Pro-recycling messages from government, business and environmentalists promote and strengthen recycling practices. This is especially true for plastics that have a resin identification code within the "chasing arrow" triangle, indicating that the item is recyclable - although this is often far from the truth. In fact, only resin #1 (polyethylene terephthalate, or PET)

Pro-recycling messages from government, business and environmentalists promote and strengthen recycling practices. This is especially true for plastics that have a resin identification code within the "chasing arrow" triangle, indicating that the item is recyclable - although this is often far from the truth. In fact, only resins #1 (polyethylene terephthalate, or PET) and #2 (high density polyethylene, or HDPE) are relatively easy to recycle and have a viable market. Others are difficult to recycle, so some jurisdictions don't even collect them.

Wishcycling entered the public consciousness in 2018 when China launched Operation National Sword, a blanket restriction on imports of most scrap from abroad. Over the past 20 years, China has purchased millions of tons of scrap metal, paper and plastic from rich countries for recycling, providing them with an easy and inexpensive option for waste management.

China's waste restrictions have created a huge waste stockpile in the United States, and the U.S. government has underinvested in recycling systems. Consumers are finding that recycling is not as reliable or environmentally friendly as previously thought.

A coalition of unlikely players in the recycling industry coined the term "wishcycling" to educate the public about effective recycling. As they emphasize, wishbikes can be harmful.

Contaminating the waste stream with material that is virtually non-recyclable makes the sorting process more expensive because it requires additional labor. Wishcycling also damaged sorting systems and equipment and dampened an already fragile trade market.

Large waste management companies and small towns have launched educational campaigns on the issue. Their mantra is "When in doubt, throw it away". In other words, only put materials that are truly recyclable in your bin. Many environmentalists have a hard time hearing this message, but it reduces costs for recyclers and local governments.

We also believe it is important to understand that the global waste crisis is not caused by consumers who fail to clean mayonnaise jars or separate plastic bags. The biggest driver is global. They include capitalism's reliance on consumption, strong international waste trade incentives, a lack of standardized recycling policies, and the devaluation of used resources. To make further progress, governments and businesses will have to think more about designing products with disposal and reuse in mind, reducing the consumption of single-use products, and investing heavily in recycling infrastructure
