In this article, I will not consider the case when you just got your first serious job in your life. Everything here is brand new. Everything is unusual. And advice on professional and social adaptation can be given countless.
So, you are sitting on a new chair for the first day and immediately want to impress the new leadership with your remarkable talents. Nothing will come of it. You are under stress.
Whether you are so nervous that your hands are shaking or you feel a little nervous - this already depends on your personality traits. When in such a suspended state you are trying to prove that you are the best, it leads to unnecessary fuss. You will make twice as many mistakes.
By the way, if you make a mistake, don't be afraid to admit it. Try to suggest ways to fix it. And now let's take a deep breath, remember that only angels are without flaws, and even those in heaven, and open the chakras to receive as much information as possible from the outside.
But the information will pour on you in an endless stream. And keeping most of it in your head is the number one task in the first days of work.
You are lucky if you were met by a wise mentor on the threshold of the office. And told you the following:
Therefore, we warm our ears! Those. pay attention to the dress code, if it exists. If loose clothing is allowed, try not to dress too provocatively in the early days. Later, you will be able to determine what is acceptable in this team, and what is better to avoid. The appearance of a new employee can be one of the annoying factors for the “oldies”.
No need for gossip. Washing the bones is an unworthy occupation. And for a new employee is simply unacceptable.
Do not talk on personal topics on the mobile, and even more so on the office phone. In extreme cases, you should leave the working room.
Don't be late. Remember, accuracy is the courtesy of kings!
Don't stay up late. Evening gatherings most likely mean that you cannot properly plan your working day or are trying to curry favor with your superiors. Neither of these will work for you.
Of course, running headlong as soon as the arrows reached six in the evening is also not worth it. We maintain a balance.
Remember, any organization is a complex mechanism. And you will be able to become its full-fledged cog only in a few months. I hope these rules will help you spend these months without unnecessary nerves!
Now it's time to get a new job, and you suddenly find that you are afraid of it like fire. Even the very process of finding a suitable job is already accompanied by a sense of anxiety and an accelerated heartbeat. And when it comes to calling an employer on the phone, and even more so going to an interview, the fear becomes completely unbearable.
All this activity of searching for a new job becomes one continuous stress, and after all, finding and getting a new position is only half the battle. You still need to go through a probationary period and settle down in a new team, please the authorities and cope with new responsibilities!
Even if you already know how to skillfully cope with your work, you know it thoroughly, and your skills are brought to automatism, you are still horrified even by the very thought of a new job. “What if I can’t handle my new responsibilities? What if the new team doesn't like me? How to justify the expectations of the authorities?
How to get out of this unbearable and painful situation? Is it possible to get rid of the fear of a new job once and for all? The answer is given by the System-Vector Psychology of Yuri Burlan.
By nature, they are very detailed. They are the ones who are able to bring any business to the end. And to do it efficiently, delving into the smallest details and bringing the final result to perfection. Naturally, such people experience difficulties in starting a new business, but after they have started, they bring everything to the ideal with great pleasure from the process.
The whole psyche of people with an anal vector is directed to the past, since their specific role by nature is the transfer of experience and knowledge of the past to new generations. For this reason, they have a natural fear of everything new and of the future. They are by nature absolute conservatives, since any knowledge, skills and experience must be transmitted undistorted.
Also in the anal vector there is a natural fear of disgrace. It is he who normally contributes to the fact that a person performs work accurately, bringing it to perfection.
When a person also has a visual vector, this makes him a professional, an erudite and the best specialist in his field.
From early childhood, the owner of the anal-visual bundle of vectors studies perfectly. It initially has the aspiration to be good: a good student, a worker, a good person. He is usually very interested in the opinion of other people and what they say or think about him and the result of his work.
It turns out that even knowing how to do the job perfectly, such a person still experiences fears - to make a mistake, to do everything badly and, as a result, to disgrace himself in front of others. But usually this still does not become an obstacle to a new job, but on the contrary, it pushes him to do everything even better.
Everything is aggravated by the visual vector. A person begins to sway emotionally and repeatedly multiplies the fear of disgrace in the anal vector. Naturally endowed with figurative intelligence and good imagination, the owner of the visual vector in a state of fear draws in his imagination pictures of what he is afraid of and what can happen. As a result, the fear of getting a job becomes overwhelming.
In addition, the natural fear of everything new in the anal vector is of no small importance here. New people, team, place, responsibilities - all this seems intimidating, because it is unusual, and a person simply does not know what to expect. And sensitivity to the attitude of other people and distrust in the visual vector only aggravate the situation.
Bad experience in a previous job can also be a factor that prevents you from getting a new job, as experience is crucial for a person with an anal vector. Getting negative experience in something, he tends to generalize it. Therefore, he feels that if he was unlucky once, then it will always be so.
As a result, finding and getting a new job becomes a big obstacle for a person, which becomes very difficult psychologically to overcome. Consciously, he wants to get a new job, he may be tormented by guilt, but fears and bad experiences do not allow him to do this. The person is caught in a vicious circle.
The fear of getting a new job is a serious problem, because in our society, one way or another, everyone needs to earn in order to provide for themselves and their families. The system-vector psychology of Yuri Burlan allows you to fully work out all your fears and other negative states.
You begin to realize the nature of your psyche, all its hidden properties, talents and abilities. When you begin to become aware of yourself and all the unconscious causes of negative states, they cease to control your life scenario and create obstacles in life. Including the fear of getting a job.
This is confirmed by the numerous results of people who, after completing the training, overcame fear and found a new job:
“…I got a job that I like. It's amazing that this kind of work even exists. I thought there was no such job for me in nature. But ... oh, miracle! I have changed a lot, my priorities have changed. I found something that gives me joy! .. "
“... Without the knowledge I received at the training, I would never have returned to my real work, the work of my vocation!
Now I have everything back that I once had. What I thought I had already lost forever. With open eyes, having learned to see in a new way, I returned to my life. Without it, I would probably still be driving a taxi…”
“... The training helped me understand myself. The need to “seem” to be someone else that you are not has disappeared, it has become comfortable to be yourself. It became interesting to be myself. There was a desire to learn and develop, to absorb only the best ... read more, watch good movies and much more. For a long time I looked at photo galleries and portfolios of famous foreign photographers, and gradually a desire arose in me to try it myself. Then I earned my first camera and started shooting ... And now it would be wrong to say that I love my job - I breathe it! :love:.."

The long search for a suitable job and interviews are finally over. It would seem that having acquired the coveted position, you can forget about the experiences. However, you constantly worry about how your first day at work will go. This excitement is understandable, but do not be too afraid. Careful preparation, self-control and advice from psychologists will help you make a good impression on new colleagues.
If, following the results of the interview, you were hired, you should not immediately run away, crumbling in gratitude, and rush to celebrate your victory with friends and relatives. Take a deep breath, pull yourself together and ask some important questions to the leader. To make your first day at work as easy as possible, please provide the following information:
It never hurts to additionally go through the official website of the organization in which you are going to work. There you can find additional information, as well as fix the information already received in memory.
At a new job, this is definitely a lot of stress. To minimize the experience, you should carefully prepare the day before. It is best to spend this day at your leisure - go to the cinema with friends or go to nature with your family. You should get the maximum of positive emotions, so as not to leave room for excitement. Be sure to go to bed early.
In order not to forget anything in a hurry, in the evening you need to do the following:
Never put off getting ready for the morning. Believe me, you will not be up to it. It is better to sleep an extra half an hour, cook a delicious breakfast and take the time to do your hair or make-up.
Everything new is stressful, and even more so when it comes to work. You will have to get comfortable in an unfamiliar team and quickly figure out your responsibilities. Naturally, an unprepared person can become confused or even lose his temper. That is why it is worth taking an extremely responsible approach to such an event as the first day at work. How to behave, psychologists will tell you:
The main rule to follow when starting a new business is a positive mood. Enter the office with smiles and wishes for a successful working day. It is very important to do this sincerely. If you are not in the mood, then there is no need for forced grimaces. Enough to confine ourselves to a polite greeting.
On the first day at work, many make mistakes that can prevent further adaptation in the team. To get to know colleagues smoothly, in no case should you do the following:
Of course, no one is immune from mistakes, but at first it is better to keep yourself under control. If you manage to establish yourself well and become a valuable employee, then over time you will be forgiven for some mistakes.
The first day at a new job is a big test. Nevertheless, you need to drop the panic and turn on rational thinking. In order to make work easier for you in the future, on the first day you need to complete the following minimum program:
Sometimes it is much more difficult for a boss to adapt to a new workplace than for an ordinary employee. If you are the head of a department, then on the first day and in your future work, you should be guided by the following rules:
The first day at work after a vacation can be a real torture. Even inveterate workaholics at the end of a well-deserved rest can become depressed from the need to start their routine duties again. As psychologists assure, this condition is quite normal and passes with time. Nevertheless, it is better to prepare in advance for the end of the vacation.
Plan your vacation in such a way that the rest ends 2-3 days before going to work. At this time, it is worth adjusting the sleep pattern - getting used to going to bed early and waking up early again. But you should not plunge headlong into household chores, because you are still on legal leave.
It is worth noting that it is quite difficult to sustain a full after rest. That is why try to plan your vacation so that you can start your duties, for example, on Wednesday or Thursday. So, you will have time to join the working rhythm before the weekend and not have time to get too tired.
To make the first day at work after the holidays easy and calm, follow these recommendations:
For many people, the phrase "First day at a new job!" is both desirable and intimidating. Signs and superstitions are widespread not only in everyday life, but also in offices. Sometimes, wanting to achieve the favor of the authorities or raise salaries, employees of reputable companies can resort to the help of psychics, fortune-tellers, and even perform magical rites.
Of course, brewing miraculous potions or making or making a director's voodoo doll is not worth it. So that the first day at a new job brings you good luck, remember some office signs:
Work in a new team certainly begins with the process of adaptation. And it is important to understand that this applies not only to a beginner. The team must also get used to the emergence of a new link and help it to integrate into the work process in every possible way. There are four successive stages that make up adaptation:
The first day at work brings a lot of experiences and new impressions. In a short time, you need to have time not only to understand the work, but also to get to know the employees and win their sympathy. The main thing is not to panic in case of difficulties and to perceive criticism objectively. It is worth noting that the first day of work of a new employee is a turning point, but far from a decisive one. Even if everything went smoothly, you still have a long period of adaptation.
It is worth noting that in Western practice it lasts about six months. During this time, you need not only to show your knowledge and skills, but also to adapt to the new team. At domestic enterprises, a newcomer is given no more than two weeks for this (in rare cases, a month), and therefore you need to prepare for the first working day in advance. Try to learn as much as you can about the organization, and read the recommendations of leading psychologists. To give yourself extra confidence, follow folk signs.
After spending eight years in the same office, I realized that it was time to change something. However, as soon as it came to finding a job, I was seized by a real panic. The new job scared me to the knees. Am I doing it? How will the team meet? Will there be a relationship with superiors? Have I lost my business savvy and flexibility in my eight years in the same job? What if I don't pass probation? The fear of a new job just paralyzed ...
During the Soviet Union, labor dynasties were held in high esteem. It was considered very prestigious to spend your whole life in one workplace or in one labor collective. And if there was fear, it was not before work, but before the boss or before the opinion of the team. “He went from a locksmith’s apprentice to a production manager”, “Thirty years ago she came to the enterprise as a young graduate”, “He is one of those specialists whom the plant raised from its own personnel, having trained them at the expense of the enterprise”, “Her whole life took place before the eyes of the team, ”such phrases were once often found in labor biographies.
Much has changed since then, including views on the track record of a good specialist. Today, an employee who sits in one place all his life can hardly be considered promising. The assertion that every five years you need to change jobs is becoming increasingly popular in order not to lose professionalism and have enough diverse experience that increases your value as a specialist. Resumes and entries in work books are becoming more voluminous. As a result, more and more people are afraid of work.
In my case it was exactly like that. After several years in the same place, changing jobs was daunting, even though the change seemed to be for the better. In the old team, everyone knows you and does not require you to "get the stars from the sky." Yes, and the work is familiar to automatism. What if in a new place you have to face something that you have never done before? What if I don't have enough knowledge? After all, you can easily disgrace yourself, sit in a puddle, get into a mess. Fear of a new job can poison life seriously and for a long time, turning long-awaited changes into protracted, destructive stress.
At one of the new jobs, I, by the way, did not take root. Every morning I woke up with the thought that I was afraid to go to work. The team remained alien and aggressive, almost no one talked to me. The boss gave incomprehensible tasks, without explaining anything and not going forward. The office seemed uncomfortable and hostile, and every new day only added frustration. The only plus was the salary, and I forced myself to go to work, hoping that everything would work out. It was real hard labor. Three or four cigarettes, smoked every morning before entering, made me sick, slightly dulling the sticky, nasty fear. In the evenings, alcohol came out to fight stress ... Even many years later, this negative experience is remembered as a waking nightmare.
How to overcome the fear of a new job? The answer to this question is both complex and simple. First you need to understand the main causes of fear, which lie deep inside. Is it really a fear of work or a fear of something else?
My friend Olya worked for several years as a manicurist in a small private hairdressing salon. And then she suddenly decided that it was time for her to grow up and went to massage courses, after which she was promised to be placed in a large health center. At first, Olya got excited about this idea and seemed to be happy with this turn of fate, but the closer the day of receiving her diploma came, the sadder my friend became. In the end, she admitted that she was afraid to go to work: after a small salon, the wellness center seemed terribly frightening to her. She almost stopped eating, at night she dreamed of disgruntled clients who scandalized and shamed her in front of new colleagues. The fear of not doing a job, making a mistake, doing something wrong, or showing herself in a ridiculous light became her obsession. It got to the point that at the thought of work, her blood pressure jumped, her palms sweated and there was not enough air.
Alas, Olya did not cope with this fear and still saws other people's nails in her small salon, and the massage therapist's diploma is gathering dust among old postcards and documents. At the same time, she is a really good massage therapist, as her friends and relatives, who have experienced the skill of her hands, have long been convinced of.
This skill could be appreciated by other people if she were not so afraid to become part of a new team.
New people are almost always difficult to get along with. And it is doubly difficult if these people are your new work team. What do they say behind your back? What do they think of you? Notice every oversight and every mistake? Gossiping and discussing your clumsiness and blunders? It is very difficult to become your own in an established, close-knit team. And the thought that you will have to be an outsider and a black sheep in a new “working family” for a long time can poison the joy of the most wonderful, prestigious and highly paid job.
Two things usually come to the fore here. Firstly, the fear of change, common to many people with. New people, like everything new in general, seem to them a threat, a source of danger, an unknown and therefore frightening factor from which you don’t know what to expect. Secondly, self-doubt and increased sensitivity to the opinions of others, which inflates fear of a new team.
A couple of years ago, the company I worked for was going through a massive downsizing. My colleague Anton simply fell into a panic at such a prospect. What can I say if he had a fear of looking for a job, not to mention changing it. His hands were trembling when he sent in his resume, you could hear it from the way he nervously clicked the mouse. And when they called him about an interview, he just changed his face ... “How will I work there? I don't know anyone there! And this is a completely different end of Moscow!” he complained hysterically after another interview.
Another colleague, Nina, became depressed after the layoff notice and even sobbed at times in front of her computer monitor. “I’m so used to you all… How will I work with strangers?” she said through tears. At the same time, her heartbeat increased, her palms sweated and headaches began. The fear of a new job completely spoiled her last days in our friendly team ...
Among the fears of work, the fear of the boss stands apart. If only because, unexpectedly, you can get it without even changing your job.
This happened to my brother, who left for another city, tempted by an offer from a world-famous manufacturing company. At first, it was not easy for him in a new place, he had to overcome both the fear of a new job, and the alienation of the team, and new responsibilities ... After a few months, he fully settled in, passed the probationary period, became friends with colleagues, began to go to work with pleasure. It was then that thunder struck: the head of the enterprise changed. Instead of the previous boss, who actually invited a nonresident employee to his place, an aggressive tyrant was appointed as the leader, who began his “reign” with the total suppression of any personal initiative of his subordinates, with rudeness and personal insults ...
Alas, not everyone was able to overcome the fear of the new boss, including my brother, who had to quit and leave the city, to which he got used to with such difficulty and perseverance ...
In the life of every person there are moments when he is afraid of losing his job or, having already lost it, he is afraid to go to a new job. This may be due to the fear of change, the fear of a new team, the fear of not coping with work, disgrace, not being up to par, etc. However, no matter what fears accompany the process of entering a job, it cannot be avoided. Life dictates the need to earn and support ourselves and our families… And the less stress and fears will accompany changes in our working biography, the more successful and happy we will be. Sometimes it takes quite a bit, for example, to complete the training "Systemic Vector Psychology" by Yuri Burlan and get rid of the fear of work forever.
