[New graduate] Things I wanted to learn before joining the company after my first year in the workforce

Things I wish I had learned before joining the company

Nice to meet you, I'm [Wagi].

Based on the mistakes and regrets I had while working as a first-year new graduate, I would like to share with you the things I regret that I wish I had learned before joining the company.

I hope this article helps reduce the number of people who have the same experience as me.

Please come right away.

typing

The first one is "typing".

I think it's okay for people who used computers to write reports and take notes during their university days.

For those who don't, especially those who don't usually type, I think it's a good idea to practice, even if it's just a little.

In fact, when I first joined the company, I was looking at my hands and clicking away.

If it's too slow, it will interfere with your work (I have)

I think it's a good idea to practice making sushi for about 10 to 15 minutes every day

correct language

Next is ``wording'', including honorifics.

Do you think that this is the correct honorific expression, but you are actually wrong?

There are cases where words used at university or part-time jobs are surprisingly incorrect.

for example,

"I got it"

Meaning: I understand

Correct answer: I understood / I was smart.

It's definitely better to use the correct word from the beginning than to make a mistake after actually using it.

Just like typing, make some time every day to study.

the habit of taking notes

The last one is the habit of taking notes.

I feel it's similar to taking notes in class.

When you're new to a company, you're full of things you don't understand, such as new rules and words.

If you leave a note when you don't understand something or learn something new,

You can use it for confirmation or when studying on your own.

lastly

These are all things that I actually struggled with, so I hope that they will be of some help to you as a teacher.

Thank you for staying with us until the end.
