Are you going to Expert Adviser?

Its being long but now I have realized that very few people around you always approached for suggestions and guidance. They are more practical and approachable.

These people are not from other planet but people believe them due to many reasons:

1. They seem to be better listeners.
2. They seem to be more understandable then others.
3. They are approachable and ready for help.
4. They have better success rate/ ratio than others.
5. They might have better financial background.
6. They might belongs to rich/ affluent family.
7. They might have beautiful wife or girl friend.etc

We should understand that all are as busy as you are but some don't show off that. you should solve your problems by yourself and approach others only when you stuck. If you will go frequently to your Expert Adviser then they will not give importance to you.

Visibility issue in Higher management

This is very important for novice.  Generally managers play a complex polity game to win over all efforts done by juniors or freshers. 

Managers are key player to push you career up or down. He is the ONLY link between you and higher management. He suppose to communicate all your efforts and progress to higher management so that they can plan your growth and career. Many a times it has been noticed that Asian Managers don't reflect the real picture to them. 

They usually create a virtual rosy image by taking more work than required. This helps to create good impression on management. This further creates pressure on the offshore/ junior team. Now offshore team becomes important and everybody start looking at you over night. This create an bad environment in the team and sometimes failure of projects too.  

First Day Or Joining Day at Corporate Job

I really understand the anxiety of first day at office. You feel nervous and most of the employees look at you. Thanks to the new corporate culture which makes your transition smooth by conducting induction programs where each department representative comes and explains the actual functioning. These induction programs help you to find other new joinees which have same anxiety as you have. You usually share your thoughts and thus, you find your mate for first lunch or for next couple lunches at new office. 

Now here is important information for you to follow so that you can gel yourself quickly in new office. 

Promotion Announcements

Most of us takes promotion as game changer in a corporate world. If you get it then you think you are recognized else you are ignored by higher management. This is fairly true !!

I have faced many Promotion Announcements but not all the time you hear a Good News. So if you really think, you deserved it but your manager or management has really pissed you off then... whats next, if your name is not there in the list?? Suicide?? Immediate Resignation?? Alcohol??
