I have been at my job for over 10 years. My first word of advice to new hires is "Be comfortable with telling people 'No' if it isn't part of your job." I didn't learn that early on and got massively bogged down with stuff that wasn't my responsibility. The second piece of advice I give is "Don't let them work you outside paid hours," because I have been asked to just jump online and do something because "it will just take a minute." That is a nope, you want me to do something outside work hours, better contact my manager for permission for my overtime.

Be careful with the folder!! be mindful that many companies and industries place you under data protection obligations!

Not only do I get to maintain my work-life balance, but I also look like a HERO when I decide to stay late an extra 15 minutes here or there instead of it being expected of me.
Yup, it really is that simple. Most of the time, Management will only continue to take advantage of those who allow them.
if you were in japan you'd fired the next day, not bad
Working for a Japanase company, setting boundaries hits really hard, specially with overtime, set the tone, and now, unless it's an emergency, they give like 1 week's notice when they need me for overtime, and it's never mandatory.
@@kiyoponnn😂😂😂😂but it's okay tho at least u know that company doesn't deserve u. Ur contract always stated what time till what time u work so stick with that. Others were unwritten rules so there's no black n white on it. Even if u stay back for extra time but they didn't play u what's the point?? We do not talk about only money involved but also time (the most precious n unreturnable value) that even money can't cover it for u. It might sound selfish n what not. Remember, put urself first bfore another bcoz if u're breaking down none of those ppl put u first as how u did. As they say "treat ppl like how u want to be treated" if they show u respect, then respect them in return. Well, tho I am aware a little bit when it comes to Japan. I hope the new generation can bring changes to this situation. Good Day 🌞
@@jackquelinejuat5657yeah but in east asian countries it doesnt work like that. the culture is just very different to america/europe
The real #1 for people who use a company-provided computer (whether it's at work or at home) is this -- realize that it's NOT your computer and it's NOT for your personal use. That means no games, no Internet use or social media unrelated to the company, no personal "cloud" accounts, etc. Also realize that the company may monitor everything that is done on the company computer.
Damn this is really useful, never heard anyone say this before
I don’t think a folder of your accomplishments at the job you work for is going to raise any issues lol
I mean, I installed Steam on mine while I was home with it, because it was a "gaming" laptop that just happened to be for 3D modeling work. I wanted to test how well it could play Control. I realized pretty quickly I hadn't taken that close of a look at the laptop's specs, it was actually worse than my home laptop for that, and promptly uninstalled everything, but still. Companies watching what you do may be a emerging (disturbing) trend, but not all companies do it.
@@moneymasteringmama that's not what this commenter is saying- where in their comment was that said or implied? However it's much smarter to keep that folder in your personal account, for access purposes.
This video is a terrible advice
I have been at my job for over 10 years. My first word of advice to new hires is "Be comfortable with telling people 'No' if it isn't part of your job." I didn't learn that early on and got massively bogged down with stuff that wasn't my responsibility. The second piece of advice I give is "Don't let them work you outside paid hours," because I have been asked to just jump online and do something because "it will just take a minute." That is a nope, you want me to do something outside work hours, better contact my manager for permission for my overtime.
If you (like me) have trouble saying no, keep in mind that working for free for your company (in most cases in the US) is illegal. It has really helped me to practice saying "sorry I can't, that's illegal" and most people don't try to pressure me after that 😅
@@Elizardbeth03 I admit that I will, very rarely, still jump on and fix issues off the clock. I did it for one manager a couple weekends ago. (Took less than 5 minutes. Literally less time to fix than it too to log on.) My reward was 2 bottles of Irish whiskey, retail they would go for over $80 together. I'll count that as a win.
I always create a folder in my Email and I call it "First week" Every email I get with a link that I need for a site I'm going to be using or anything related to onboarding etc goes in that folder. That way I can find it when I need and if my boss wanders over in 3 months time and says "Have you got that email about so and so" I can pull it up quickly. That first week is a blur and you can't remember a lot of it so this really helps.
You can always set boundaries! Even if you first said/thought you were cool with something you can still set a boundary later!!
Probably she means it is 100 times easier to set them from the start than to fight with the whole world later on, when the coworkers and higher ups are used to you saying yes to everything
The "set your tone" thing reminded me of the episode of Friends when Ross starts his teaching job, he's so nervous that a British accent comes out of his mouth for some reason. It helped him get over his nerves and become more confident, but he doesn't know how to stop, to has to try to phase it out gradually 😂
Its an Australian accent which is even more embarrassing 😆
But my real personality is smiley face, then I got social anxiety, so my first day would be scared face 😂
Ohmygoodness when I’m nervous - I go into southern accent. It’s so weird.
#2 is also useful for annual performance reviews. You want to be able to list achievements and projects, numerically if possible.
Don’t be an overachiever. If you start doing “extra” (taking on additional work, cleaning the toilet, staying late for free) just to make a good impression then when you stop doing these things, everyone will wonder why you “changed.” People like consistency (despite employers asking if you can deal with change - they can’t deal with it). Be a steady Eddie and don’t ever do anything to “impress” that you would not be okay with doing forever.
I really like #1. Something I wish I had learned sooner. Where’s the example for #3? Is there a part 2?
I just noticed the video got cut off! Must’ve been an issue during uploading. So sorry! I’ll reupload
Yeah, I just learned about this. Also wish learned it back in the day, now I know for my new job starting next month.
There is a link in the description, you can see the full video there.
There should be a #3a "Do not waiver on your standards and boundaries for anyone for any reason at work" once a job knows something will get you to lower or deviate from them then every time they need you to it will always be whatever that thing you waivered them for the first time.
Erin!!!! The folder was such good advice! It really helped with my work anxiety. I always look back on it when I’m having a hard day and I’m down on myself. It’s just a nice reminder to know I can do great things and I’m an awesome employee ☺️ thank you 🙏🏻
#2 is great when it's time to ask for a raise
ok but as an autistic person who relies on mirroring for social observation it took me about 2 weeks of observing my coworkers interacting to know what elements of my personality can/should/could be present in my new work place. i came off as very shy at first but now im more outgoing and get along with my coworkers well
I'm about to start a new job and was thinking exactly what you said. I don't know what is considered appropriate for this work team (how formal to be, when to lie or tell the truth when asked questions etc)
@@jellyfish_adventures9877 start more formal and then slowly ease in as you learn to read the team. It's perfectly fine, and externally just reads as the nervousness inherent when starting a new job. Allistic people also do this probably about 80% of the time
@@zareien2290 Thanks for the tip. I'm most nervous about how to come up with socially acceptable lies. It's so weird to me that people ask questions and don't want real answers
The last one is HUGE! SET YOUR BOUNDARIES!!! And I mean early! Don’t wait until the things get bad do it ASAP as soon as you start.!
i start like this 😐 and work up to this 🤗
You’re like a fairy Jobmother every time I think about something I come to KZhead and your videos here with the very thing I was just asking about thank you
My boss remarked on my second day that I seemed rather unexcited overall. I was myself the whole time. So it was clear from the start that she wanted only happy, upbeat, positive attitudes even if they were fake. I'm going on 6 years, and she had to learn to deal with reality with me. I'm not going to fake a personality for her. That's exhausting.
I'm in bed trying to go to sleep so I can wake up in 7½ hours to go to a new job - hopefully something that'll blossom into a good career. This video popping up is serendipitous ❤ thank you!
I hope your first week went well! Congrats!
Any updates?
I would say establishing your boundries is the mist important thing to do. Dont be a yes-sayer to EVERYTHING because then you WILL be overloaded. I have different projects I work in at the same time. For each project I have set an % of how much of my time to spend in that project. If someone wants me to do something that requires lets say 20 % of my time, I ask which other project i should spend less time in. I get paied to work 100 %, I am mot working 120 %
OMG! New subscriber and looking for a job. So wish I'd saved the positive emails, awards etc. I received over the 14 years at my last job. You have great advice! Thank you!
I’m one of the hardest working employees at my job. I got promoted twice in 9 months. It has caused a lot of animosity but I am the most ambitious in the branch. Moral of the story: if you’re good at your job and take pride in what you do, chances are you won’t be well liked in your field.
Every unpleasant person attributes their unlikability to others' jealousy
@@oranjellofishTHIS.
Source: I step on people and call it ambition and wonder why others can’t do it
I have been faking the tone from #1 for 8 years now…don’t do it!
Be careful with the folder!! be mindful that many companies and industries place you under data protection obligations! A better option may be to take separate notes of what is said, rather than saving/screenshotting emails. Many companies have express warnings about saving emails for use outside the company. But taking separate note of things (like your achievements), with any confidential information removed, is fine.
I imagine you don't share those screenshots of the little accomplishments right? More so, just a reminder for yourself to use when it comes to state what were some achievements when you are searching for that next job right?
Yup!
I shared them in my yearly review.
I'd recommend never saving them onto your work laptop ONLY. no personal accounts, because that can be illegal. Alternatively, just keep a personal spreadsheet noting those accomplishments, so that you have a bank of examples you can bring up if need be. No screenshot necessary there
That first tip is super true for me🤦🏾♀️ thanks Erin for giving such valuable advice on how to be a better employee, because like seriously, it can be very frustrating😊
Literally starting a new job tomorrow and so nervous. I’m excited I found this.:)
how has the job been? hope you like it. have a great day. :)
I’m looking for job too. Wish good luck and relax you will be ok.
I’m hoping these will be helpful for returning to a job after maternity leave where the pregnancy made things very stressful and not as pleasant. My 24 hours start tomorrow 😢
I didnt realise people needed advice for that #1, but its interesting to see how differently ppl think. i always make up my mind about what i want people to think of me before i even meet them. I like people at work thinking im bubbly, easy going and nice so i usually default to that from the get go and stay that way until i leave. Makes it easier to communicate, people are open and they talk less seriously towards me.
How though? How do you not slip up when you’re stressed? My social anxiety is too high to do that
Please please please check your company's privacy policy for cloud folders, and for keeping personal copies of anything related to company business. I'm in the financial sector and this can result in lost bonuses and termination.
Your hair is so beautiful and suits your whole look so well.
Perfect timing! I'm starting my new profession tomorrow!
#2 keep track of every little achievement at the new job so you can remember what you're good at when applying to future jobs
When your defauly tone is bubbly so you don't have to worry about #1 😊 But then you remember everyone underestimates your intelligence because of your bubbly tone so you will probably have to tone it down when you start working 💀
Literally, it's so shallow. Very discouraging especially as a woman
Couldn't agree more on the setting boundaries aspect! 😊
“You only get one chance to do this” that scares me
The second tip is helpful for mid-year or EOY reviews. It's so easy to forget all of the projects you worked on, "fires" you put out, and kudos you received. Use those notes to reinforce your skills & accomplishments in your review. It provides your People Leader with support for maximizing your raise & can be helpful when seeking an internal promotion.
Most important thing above everything else: learn every single person's name as quickly as possible. Write them all down if you have to. Avoids so much awkwardness, and has a huge effect on how people see you.
That was funny, I was down here wondering if you restarting the video was somehow a boundary you were setting on us!
Save that customer service voice for the customers, don't use it on your coworkers and you shouldn't have any issues with people thinking you're angry or mean when you have to speak frankly with them.
Re #1: Jokes on you, I'm always excited to work with people. I am too consistent 😂
I love all you advices especially how to answer some question during an interview. God bless you😊
As someone whose been on a mental health leave - I would have been in such a better position if I remembered the dates where key shitty things happened. It’s super sweetie of you to suggest a compliment folder. But my mind immediately goes to protection through knowledge.
THIS is how work has changed - for me I set up a folder to put all my accomplishments in but I did it so I could write my annual self-assessment and also for discussion about compensation for the year. I like your idea better!
The amount of accents in this one video is amazing! Loved the vibe of this one
Show up on time and be ready to work. That's what you need to do.
Great idea. Makes life easier. SET clear boundaries.
4 carry a little book and pen, or the modern equivalent, and when something is explained to you WRITE IT DOWN. This greatly reduces how often u need to ask something
YES. This is top tier advice!
As a retired career banker you are providing SUCH GREAT ADVICE to young people entering the workplace. Brava!
The screenshots or achievement folder is not to actually show the new recruiters, it's to remind yourself & have a collection of achievements memorised for situational based interviews, where they ask you to tell them situations that highlights your skills & work. I tend to have a weak memory & bad recollection of events in details, so this can help alot. Also, it helps your self confidence & self doubt.
Okay, reverse your first one. Go in with your normal personality on the first day, then when you are excited about something etc. Your colleagues will be like 'WTF are they on'??😂
Day one at a new job is like the first chapter of a book - set the right tone, and you've got everyone hooked on your success story!
They set the tone when they hired me as a contractor to do a full time job because they're cheap and don't want to pay for benefits.
Bubbly in #1 is my default state. Gotta love Mondays! YESSS!
That eyebrow! 🤨 working so hard to get this job. Thursday will be my 5th interview after a 6 week span. You have kept me focused. Thank you!
Save data in the cloud or Google disk is so important. PC can fail and all your important work will be destroyed
You’ve gotten so much better 🙌
“Set your tone” meanwhile I’m a shy little worker bee for the first six months before I start opening up at a sloth’s pace, and then after the first year and a half of opening up, I become my true sassy feral goblin self 😂
You are brilliant, thank you for so useful content ❤️
The accomplishment folder is golden advice.
That first one actually makes so much sense!
For #2 I think she meant it’s helpful to have all your accomplishments highlighted in one place to help you remember because new employers ask for accomplishment examples.
Excellent tips! Also remember you can literally link the long video to your shorts when you upload.😮
The first thing you talked about is, in large part, why companies have multiple rounds of interviews: to wear applicants down to their core behaviors and expose them for what they (putatively) really are. Kind of like the lunchbox guy story in Jordan Peterson’s book “12 Rules For Life.” It’s a test. But SHRM published an article several years ago about dragging candidates through too much; many get tired of the hassle and apply elsewhere. If SHRM said it, it must be true, right?
You have great career advice thank you
Thanks! 😊 Took out a couple of minutes to archive all words of appreciation.
Bravo, We need more of these types of video❤
Yes, considering my list of accomplishments, the folder will be VERY tiny.
Great idea on the complimentary works folder
started a new job a few days ago, so glad it randomly popped up in my feed!
Setting boundaries!!! No1
You’re doin good! Keep goin!
Your tips are soooo helpful
First impressions are everything.
The clouds folder is a great idea
I always start mean so no one talks to me. Then I get nice after I determine who is worth it
I have seen that works well.
The tan line 😭😭
The folder idea's so smart 😊
The FOLDER!! Thanks bud!
I love the Dropbox idea!! I’m in a new position at my work. I’m not sure if my work computer will let me have a personal folder in the cloud. If not, I’ll make a notes file on my phone. 👍🏻
Please don't save company emails onto a personal account. Best practice is to just take notes. Many companies and industries have strict data protection regulations prohibiting this. If it's a company cloud account, that's generally fine, but you'll lose access to that information when you change job
#2 is also just great for when annual performance reviews come around. You can go through all the great stuff you've done in the past year when you regularly may only remember stuff from the past quarter or two
I need a new job for the new year. Promotion is stressful. Being in management you are there all day and more responsibility.
Yeah that was also my mistake first day of school. Everyone thought there's something wrong with me and kept asking me if I'm okay. I think they thought I'm fake 😭
I loved the folder tip
I won't go into detail because I don't wanna expose myself but I have this...thing...I do online, and I'm so insecure of the other people who do it thinking I'm being annoying that, whenever one of them says something nice to me or about me, I screenshot it and put it on a doc to look at when I'm crying after screwing up on this online...thing. And so when you mentioned screenshotting rewards/achievements, for a second I thought you were talking about the same thing I do and I felt normal for like three seconds.
The folder of accomplishment is great, but not just for when you look for another job. Use it to help your boss with your year end review. I write a bunch of these every year and it can be hard to remember everything that happened for those 12 months. If you come out with a box of screenshots my job just got easier and you helped me remember the good stuff.
I didnt get to hear the end 😩
Number 2 is soooo a new habit I need to get into
Very helpful! Thank you
Btw, don't share private Teams messages from former colleagues with potential employers. First that's technically a breach of GDPR, second, it's private even if it was sent to you
Off topic: Your hair and eyes are gorgeous!!!❤😊
Wish I’d done #2 because my harddrive wasn’t backed up and died. My auto backup got corrupted. Lost all of that info when I got laid off.
#2 is baad baaaad advice if you think that you can forward or print these screenshots, and show them to a new employer, or even quote them without permission of the one who made the comment, and even possibly (if part of a work for hire) permission from the company you worked for when you "put it in your little folder". To provide summary count and paraphrase a typical or repeated positive comment without permission might be OK, though.
That's what my boss did. Completely different personality during the job interview. As soon as I started work she was a whole different person.
Wish we could save shorts to our youtube saved list
I was wondering if you could give tips on what to do and what not to do in an interview for your first job
I love the idea of setting tone on the first day. As for me, my fist day at a new job, I haven't slept for 24 hours and I'm hung over as shit. After that, they think I'm brilliant.
