Why your initial months are difficult in your new job?

Ask anyone and they will tell you the exact same thing that how their initial few months in their new job were horrible. Some might even explain that it stretched for over a year for them. The intention here is not to scare the new dwelling minds away but to mentally prepare them for the upcoming challenges.

Here are some of the possible reasons why the initial few months are difficult in your New Job:

Being responsible

Before working, a person is hardly responsible, by responsible I mean taking a task from beginning to end, taking orders, being patient with things, and so on. But when you come onboard to your work ship it's all about being responsible. Your every work assignment comes with a responsibility and that includes your late nights, backlashes, and other unlimited numbers of hiccups that you never would want to put yourself into.

When on a normal day you would be playing games with your friends, watching some great movie now you would be staring at your laptop with no hope of getting out soon.

One thing that I still hate after so many years of working is “being responsible”, well, of course, meaning and coverage of responsibility change from time to time, sometimes it's for your own work, sometimes it's your team, other times it's your directs and so on.

Have to start from Ground Zero

Till you are in college or in another place you might have only heard praises about yourself, or you would have cleared highly difficult exams to get there so in your mind and in your circle you are already a star, and getting a job is just a fruit of that hard work. But as soon as you will enter your work life you will realize that your previous achievements were left off at the door and you are surrounded with equally or even more qualified people so you will be evaluated at the very basic level and from there a new journey will start where you have to again put up a lot of hard work to earn the stardom and the value that you are used to of having. 

Winners become the Losers

There are people who have been toppers for their entire life, school, high school, college so on, and continuing their streak they even get through the interviews in the single go. So you see they have this winning glitter all over them and are only accustomed to applause and praises. The situation takes the turn when the ride actually shifts from training grounds to the actual grounds, from theory to practice, and from virtual to reality. Soon enough the never-failed people face their first-ever failure and they are just not able to understand what and where it went wrong? The impact can be that major that a few of them even decide to quit working and move back to the study world where they are still a star.

Your very first blunder

When you are working you are bound to do mistakes, your boss knows it, somewhere you also know it but always hope that the day never comes when you have to face your mistake. Like they say “The first kill is always the hardest”, similarly your first mistake, your first blunder is always a little bit tougher to handle. That is because of the obvious reasons; first and foremost since you are new to this world it feels like it's the end of the world. Also in the beginning years, a person is very emotional about his or her work so it hurt a little more.

 But there would be great learning from it. In your first blunder, you’ll learn how to handle such situations for the future as” mistakes are inevitable” so you better know how to deal with it and secondly believe or not “You’ll have a newfound respect for your boss” when the crisis is over.
