Bangalore: The first job of a person is extra special to him/ her because it not only is their first step into the world of experience but also the beginning of their independence. Given the tremendous importance of the ‘first job,’ there is a lot of pressure on the Indian youth to shine in their workplace. However, workplace load can have a detrimental effect on, both the physiological and psychological, well-being of a person, as well as impede their performance. So, it becomes exceedingly crucial for young joiners to take precautionary measures and avoid certain tricky areas.

1) Chasing After Cash:

An excellent pay package is a desirable thing because it guarantees material happiness, freedom and independence. Many employers try to rope candidates in with this bate. Money can certainly satiate us to an extent but it might not win in the long run. Having a long-term perspective and future plans for one’s career is the best path a person can chalk out for oneself. Doing similar types of jobs might put us into a particular category, getting out of which might be difficult. Acquiring the right set of skills in a job is of prime importance because diversity indicates the ability to handle varied situations and inculcate divergent thinking.

2) Not Keeping At It:

Employees are mostly never given tasks of utmost importance in the beginning because in the initial stages, they are too alien to the office atmosphere and require time to familiarize themselves with it. During this period, most employees are given routine work and everyday office tasks. This tends to take a toll on new joiners because they are used to handling noteworthy assignments in college but are crestfallen at the thought of performing regular, low-profile jobs. People should not give up hope at this stage because learning the basics of an office cannot be bypassed. All employees go through this, even the CEOs at the time of their joining. The mantra is to stick to the fight and not lose heart.
