Getting promoted may not be as easy as you think.

After working for 3 years and 5 years, a newcomer in the workplace will soon become a "professional" in an industry.

If you become a Starbucks clerk, you will change from buying Starbucks coffee as a customer just for enjoyment, to washing the cups, grinding the coffee beans yourself, and then handing the coffee to the customers with a smile and a very gay tone, feeling this participation. Empower your experience and learn the magic of branding.

If you are an executive of a department in a large company, you not only have to complete the KPIs above, but also discipline the employees below, racking your brains to get employees many years younger than yourself to follow your unskilled leadership. And you know, everything is for the better operation of the company, you absorb the nutrients brought to you by an enterprise system, and at the same time observe your position and consider it step by step.

It is not only good news for individuals, but also the beginning of the company's profitability. Compared with junior employees, it still takes time to train. A person with 3 years of experience has a relatively high matching degree of work time and output. They have practical experience and practical skills, and they are the real money-making machine of the company.

So, what is the difference between a person who has worked for 3 years and a newcomer in the workplace?

1. Workplace skills are already proficient

They have very proficient workplace etiquette. Thank you, you, Best regards, yours sincerely, are very familiar with them. Say hello before answering the phone, and wait for customers after hanging up. Opinions to respect their face.

Rarely are they criticized for minor mistakes, at most some punctuation marks, or some font size. About the industry, about the company's products, company departments, colleagues, and strategies, they all know them one by one, and they can face customers individually or hold PPT conferences in person.

According to statistics, the general output of employees with 3 years of experience accounts for more than 60% of the company's income. Many companies like to recruit people with 3 to 5 years of experience, because these people basically do not lack too much basic knowledge of the industry.

2. No longer ashamed to express

Compared with newcomers in the workplace, people who have worked for 3 to 5 years have relatively stronger initiative. Because these experienced people know that expression is an essential tool for the job , and if you don't express it, no one will know what you think, and no one will pay for your idea. And all of this has little to do with being open and outgoing in the eyes of others.

In terms of expression, you don't have to be as crazy as Trump, you just have to be yourself

Whether it is email, WeChat, oral or meeting at work, expression takes up almost one-third of the work time. The quality of expression and skills will directly affect your cooperation with your colleagues, affect your understanding of the work, and thus affect the progress of things, and even the final work result, your performance level.

So, in a communication environment that requires careful words, you can't even participate in the "game" if you don't express it. Because these people have elevated their communication and expression to a higher level. Workers with 3 years of experience can get things done, soothe their emotions, motivate their subordinates, and satisfy their bosses, because for them, expression is work. .

3. No longer just mindlessly obeying

Just like comparing humans and artificial intelligence AI, it is a qualitative difference. The issues, levels, angles, and even the methods they consider are very different.

Compared with those who have worked for 3 years and newcomers in the workplace, they are actually not easy to deal with, because they are no longer blank papers and already have a lot of ideas. And sometimes ideas can make your boss happy, and sometimes, these ideas can easily irritate your boss.

They will control the order because of their priorities, and of course, whichever is most beneficial to their career development will do it first. rather than on a first-come-first-served basis.

They will decide who to deal with first according to their career development path. Of course, this will not be so utilitarian and rigid, but there are some basic things that must be followed. In front of the leader, be a down-to-earth and hard-working sand monk, and in front of other colleagues, be a pig who knows how to mediate the atmosphere.

Everyone in the workplace hopes to get out of the primary stage as soon as possible and enter the next stage as soon as possible, that is, promotion. The most direct motivation, of course, is the high salary brought by the promotion.

With a high salary, three meals can be upgraded; with a high salary, your girlfriend can be happy, and with a high salary, you can move up the natural pyramid and consider buying a house, a car, etc., instead of toys and QQ coins.

However, most newcomers in the workplace do not want to be promoted, but do not know the method and direction.

As a person who has started a business and has part-time work experience, in fact, the confusion of the direction of effort can be solved by diligently empathizing.

Think about who your boss will need, who your boss will praise, who your coworkers will admire, and how you can make everyone happy, satisfied with your behavior and expect greater responsibility from you. The answers to these questions, taken together, are what it takes to get promoted, and it’s the main gulf that separates those who have worked for 3 years from those who are new to the workplace.

All in all, starting from entering the workplace, we cannot retreat, we can only progress;

And if you are willing to make progress and want to go up, then please adapt to one thing,
