I am starting my career after college soon, how do I survive in a big corp.?
Any lessons shared will be greatly appreciated.
Just about anything a newbie needs to know about the real world by working for a large corp.
no, not at all...but keep it under control and don't stand out as that "goofball"...know when to keep quiet and know when to make small talk at the water cooler. You don't want everyone to think that you're that slacker that really doesn't belong there. Keep quiet for the first week or so...make small talk, and you'll slowly get to know who belongs where, how some people think/interact, etc.
Thank you from the past 3 interviews and all the emails coming back and forth.
My boss mentioned me as an overachiever to the rest of the group...I am a lil bit concerned...is that a good thing? it can be bad u know.
If he means good then will the others get jealous of me?
ah, it shouldn't be a bad thing...just don't try and come off as a suckup or as if you're better than everyone. Your boss mentioned you as an overachiever...
imagine this. You're in class..and your professor just said that you guys have a new student that'll be working in your group, and he/she's an overachiever. What would your expectations be of that new student? How would you want him/her to act?
Oh I won't...I wish I could be more confident in real life.
I know I will be the youngest in this office, I have A LOT to learn. I am innocent but I don't want to make any mistakes on my way climbing up the corp. ladder. Will corp. culture turn an innocent individual into another person?
possibly...sadly most likely. It sounds absurdly cliche, but if you're "true to yourself"...meaning you don't sell yourself out to be someone else you're not, there's a good chance you'll be fine.
I hope so too. I want to be myself and true to myself! That's very important to me.
Oh btw, I have been invited to my boss' party at his house next month which will be a few days after I start working there officially. He stated that we can bring as many guests as we want including pets.
Should I go to his party? Is that okay to bring my parents? ( They are my best friends and I want them to see my coworkers).
Hmm...it depends on how big this "party" is...who's going to be there...and what sort of function this is. Is it formal/casual...(the idea of bringing pets...sorta throws me off), is it everyone from work or just a select few...etc.
I'm going to go against the idea of bringing your parents...I understand that they're your best friends, but in the workplace, that may put a damper on people's perspective of you, seeing as you are the youngest person in the office.
