How not to get nervous at a new place of work. Ergophobia - fear of work

Now the time has come to get a new job, and you suddenly found that you are afraid of it like plague. Even the very process of finding a suitable vacancy is already accompanied by a feeling of anxiety and a fast heartbeat. And when it comes to making a phone call to an employer, much less going for an interview, the fear becomes completely unbearable.

All this activity of looking for a new job becomes one continuous stress, and after all, finding and getting a job at new position Is only half the battle. You also need to go through a trial period and get accustomed to a new team, please your bosses and cope with new responsibilities!

Even if you already know how to masterfully 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 meet the expectations of the authorities? "

As a result, the search for a new job is delayed for months or even years. And the more time passes, the more the feeling of guilt increases for not being able to get settled. In addition, everything is aggravated by a lack of understanding of loved ones, who think that this is simple laziness, from which you feel injustice. After all, you are used to always masterfully completing any business.

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.

Who is afraid of a new job

As system-vector psychology shows, the fear of a new job can arise not in everyone, but only in people with certain properties of the psyche. These are people with anal and visual vectors.

They are naturally 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 any new business, but after they have started, they bring everything to perfection with great pleasure from the process.

The whole psyche of people with an anal vector is directed into the past, since their specific role from nature is the transfer of the 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 should be transmitted undistorted.

Also in the anal vector there is a natural fear of dishonor. It is he who normally contributes to the fact that a person does the job flawlessly, bringing it to perfection.

When a person has a visual vector, this makes him a professional, erudite and best specialist in their field.

From early childhood, the owner of the anal-visual ligament of vectors is an excellent student. He initially has an aspiration to be good: a good student, a worker, a good man... He is usually very important to the opinion of other people and what they say or think about him and the result of his work.

It turns out that even though he knows how to do the job perfectly, such a person still has 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 in front of new job on the contrary, pushes him to do everything better.

Reasons for fear of work

Sometimes, as a result of stress from childhood or bad experience, such a person begins to pathologically fear disgrace in front of others. Calling on the phone, going for an interview, and even more so to take on responsibilities and responsibility for the work - all this becomes almost irresistible.

He begins to be constantly afraid to make a mistake, a mistake, to get into an awkward position, to do things that are not ideal. Therefore, even talking on the phone or interviewing is extremely stressful. A person is lost, everything goes out of his head, he does not know what to answer the employer's question. And this despite the fact that he is initially a highly qualified specialist in his field! At the most crucial moment, exactly what he is afraid of happens: he finds himself in an awkward position, as he gets lost in a conversation with an employer for fear of disgrace.

Everything aggravates the visual vector. The person begins to sway emotionally and multiplies the fear of disgrace in the anal vector. Naturally endowed with imaginative 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 may 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 considerable importance here. New people, a team, a place, responsibilities - all this seems frightening, since it is unusual, and a person simply does not know what to expect. And the sensitivity to the attitude of other people and mistrust in the visual vector only aggravate the situation.

A bad experience in a previous job can also be a factor that prevents you from getting a new job, since experience is crucial for a person with an anal vector. Having received negative experience in something, he tends to generalize it. Therefore, he feels that if he is unlucky once, then it will always be so.

As a result, the search for 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 a feeling of guilt, but fears and bad experiences prevent him from doing this. A person falls into 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 money in order to provide for themselves and their families. System-vector psychology of Yuri Burlan allows you to fully work through 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 fear of getting a job.

This is confirmed by the numerous results of people who, after completing the training, overcame their fear and found a new job:

“… I got a job that I like. It's amazing that such a job even exists. I thought that there was no such job for me in nature. But ... oh, a miracle! I have changed a lot, my priorities have changed. I found something that gives me joy! .. "

“… Without the knowledge I received during the training, I would never have returned to my real work, work by vocation!
Now I have returned everything that I once had. What I thought I had already lost forever. With open eyes, learning to see in a new way, I returned to my life. Without that, I would probably still drive a taxi ... "

“... The training helped to understand myself. The need to "seem" to someone else, who you are not, has disappeared, it has become comfortable to be yourself. It became interesting to be yourself. There was a desire to learn and develop, to absorb only the best ... read more, watch a good movie and much more. For a long time I looked at photo galleries and portfolios of famous foreign photographers and gradually a desire matured in me - to try it myself. Then I earned money for my first camera and started filming ... And now it would be wrong to say that I love my job - I breathe it! : inlove: .. "

Summer is a traditional period of "lull" in the labor market. But in the fall, thousands of employees come to new teams: someone gets their first job, and someone changes the company or field of activity.

“The first three months of working in a new job is, in fact, the continuation of the interview,” says Amanda Augustin, an expert at TheLadders, a job selection service for professionals. “From the very first day, you have to be in good shape,” she explains.

Having consulted high-level specialists for many years, Amanda shares some observations about how employees behave in the workplace, who subsequently take root in the team and achieve success.

1. Meet

Don't wait for colleagues to come up to you to get to know you - take the initiative. Greet and chat with new people at every opportunity: in the elevator, in the kitchen, in the smoking room. “Co-workers may not have time for long conversations with a newcomer,” says Amanda. “Start with the people who are closest to you, those who work directly with you.” In addition, colleagues themselves are interested in you adapting as quickly as possible to work in the company - after all, your activities affect the overall result.

2. Make friends with someone who has been here for a long time and can help with advice

Find out which of your colleagues has been working for the company long enough to be aware of all the subtleties corporate policy... Find a "veteran" who has already learned which approaches work and which don't, and ask them to help you get used to your new place. “Each company has its own slang and 'internal jokes', stories from the life of the collective, - says Amanda Augustine. features of the rules of conduct ".

In addition, you will need someone to whom you can turn to with stupid questions: where to get a pencil, who is in charge of computer repairs, when water and cookies arrive. It is ridiculous to go to a manager with such problems, but it is quite appropriate to ask a colleague about trifles.

3. Set expectations

“Work in accordance with the expectations of your superiors,” advises Amanda. Try to find out during the interview exactly what results are expected from your work and by what criteria you will be assessed. The first 3 months are best spent working to "meet expectations".

If you borrowed leadership position- make sure your new subordinates are aware of your requirements. The first week of work can determine the direction and tone of all future communications.

4. Find out who is on your team

Pay attention to how your coworkers are reacting to you. It is possible that you took the place that one of the more experienced employees was aiming at. So don't relax right away, but watch non-verbal cues and what they say behind your back. At the same time, it is worth helping colleagues and generally behaving as kindly as possible in order to avoid resentment and misunderstandings at least in the first months of work.

5. Remember where the coffee is

Purely everyday issues can destroy not only the family, but also the relationships in the team. A newbie, albeit cute and professional, but always rearranging the sugar bowl in the common kitchen, is insanely annoying. So try to put things back exactly where you got them at first, learn your office habits and get used to them.

6. Live up to the legend

It doesn't matter how you managed to get hired, and what exactly you talked about your talents and skills in the interview. It's important that for at least the first few weeks you are as close as possible to the impression you made during the interview.

If you focused on your ability to work with social networks or analytical talents - create a company account or start preparing summary reports on the work of the office. It is important that this activity is noticed by the management. At the beginning of the collaboration, you will receive enough attention anyway - so feel free to show what you are working on. Cook full list your tasks and success. If it is not useful to you now, then it is quite suitable for future recertification or as an argument for the demand to increase your salary.

7. Ask, ask, ask

The worst thing to do in the first week of work is to be silent in the corner. If you are planning to build a career in a company or change the usual course of things in the office, first figure out how everything actually works here. In addition, the desire to learn about the usual rhythm of office life will help to win the favor of colleagues. As you know, it is not customary to go to someone else's monastery with its own charter. And you have a chance to prove that you are willing to learn and adapt to others - at least in the little things.

8. Organize your work

You will have to assimilate a lot new information, even if you came to a job that you have been doing for a long time, but in a different company. Organize your working day intelligently and conveniently so as not to create chaos.

Moving to a new job is also a great excuse to develop good habits and break bad habits. If you've wanted to start using the time planner for a long time, you can't think of a better moment.

9. Show yourself in public

Try to "light up" before maximum number people. The sooner you are remembered and recognized, the sooner they will get used to you as a part of the team. Yes, not everyone is comfortable with relaxed behavior in a new place. But just free communication and the absence of tension is an indicator that you have become "your own" in the team.

But simply "trading face" is not enough. Feel free to speak up on topics in which you consider yourself competent. This will help you earn yourself the title of expert in certain areas. And if you make a mistake, you, as a beginner, will be forgiven.

10. Make friends with new colleagues on social networks

In the office, there are not many opportunities for informal communication. Thank you social networks: in order to get to know a person better and understand how they live, we no longer need to study his habits for years or ask mutual acquaintances. It is better to start "virtual acquaintances" with professional social networks, for example, with LinkedIn (Facebook, and even more so Vkontakte, is perceived by many as an exclusively personal space, where "just acquaintances" do not want to be admitted).

11. Get to know your peers from your previous job.

It may sound contradictory, but moving to a new place is good time to get to know the people from the previous team again. You may be surprised to learn that the most interesting colleagues are not at all those with whom you worked on the same project, but, for example, an inconspicuous lawyer from a neighboring department. Now, when you are not bound by strict corporate rules and work "turnover" does not distort the perception of a person, you can make "new old friends".

Another bonus from communicating with former colleagues is that right now, when you are not actively looking for a job, it is easiest for them to write you a couple of recommendations on the same LinkedIn.

12. Find your way to a pharmacy and a normal cafe

Explore the area. Moving to a new job is almost like moving to new apartment... Few people pay attention to the infrastructure right away, but if necessary, it turns out that there are no "very urgently needed" things nearby. So mark the nearest location on your way to work. shopping center, where you can have a snack or drink coffee, where is a pharmacy "in case of emergency" and where it is most convenient to call a taxi. Believe me, all these little things will come in handy if you are going to stay in the company for a long time.

In this article, I will not consider the case when you just got your first serious job in your life. Everything is new here. Everything is unusual. And there are countless tips for professional and social adaptation.

Rule one. Let's open the chakras and calm down.

So, for the first day you are sitting in a new chair 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 anxiety depends on your personality traits. When you are in such limbo 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 made a mistake, don't be afraid to admit it. Try to suggest options for fixing it. And now let's take a deep breath, remember that there are only angels without flaws, and even those in heaven, and we will open the chakras to receive as much information as possible from the outside.

The second rule. We ask questions and warm our ears.

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 in luck if a wise mentor met you on the doorstep of the office. And he told you the following:

1. Job descriptions. Strictly speaking, what responsibilities are assigned to you and to what extent.
2. Inner order rules. Is it accepted to drive tea with cookies at the workplace, how many times a day you can go for a smoke break, how much time is allotted for lunch.
3. It would be ideal if you were privy to some of the little things. Let's say the chef doesn't like it when they hum to himself in the workplace. But, most likely, you will have to obtain such information yourself.

Therefore, we warm our ears! That is, we learn about the rules of the dress code, if it exists. If loose-fitting clothing is allowed, try not to dress too provocatively in the early days. Later, you will be able to determine what is acceptable in a given team and what is best avoided. Appearance a new employee can be one of the annoying factors for “oldies”.

Rule four, fifth, sixth, etc.

No gossip. Washing the bones is an unworthy occupation. And for a new employee it is simply unacceptable.

Do not talk about personal topics on your mobile, and even more so on your office phone. In extreme cases, you should leave the work area.

Don't be late. Remember, accuracy is the courtesy of kings!

Don't stay up late. Evening gatherings most likely mean that you cannot plan your work day properly or are trying to curry favor with your bosses. Neither one nor the other will count for you.

Of course, running at breakneck speed as soon as the arrows reached six in the evening is also not worth it. We keep the balance.

Remember, any organization is a complex machine. And you will be able to become its full-fledged cog only in a few months. Hopefully these guidelines will help you spend these months nerve-wracking!

You won't remember the last time you woke up feeling awe and excitement about the day ahead. The joy of the new perspectives and cooperation opportunities opening up before you is long gone - when you just got a job in this position. Most of you associate work with routine. Does it remind you of your life? It is worth considering looking for a new job!

2. You are unhappy

Perhaps it's even worse: you are not just not happy with the new day, but you feel unhappy every morning. Chances are good that your work, which you give almost all of your time, is to blame. Neither your boss nor your colleagues are to blame for this. Perhaps you just once put yourself in the wrong way in the team.

But this does not mean that you now have to suffer for the rest of your days.

Learn from your mistakes and look to the future. an attractive vacancy, and let the new job become your favorite!

3. Your company is doomed

Sometimes we do our best, but the circumstances are still not developing in the best way. If you are soberly aware that the company is going down, you should not sink with it. Don't wait for the sunset - start looking for a new job now, so that later you don't have to indicate a non-existent place of work in your resume.

4. You don't like your coworkers at all

Your coworkers and boss are the people you spend most of your life with. And if you take into account the time that you give to sleep, traffic jams, shopping trips, then, in fact, they are with you almost all the time. In the moments of ups and downs, jubilation and breakdowns. Most likely, they are very much looking forward to when you get out of vacation or sick leave (let's not go into the search for true motives). Therefore, it makes no sense to stay in a company whose employees you do not like.

Even if you like the work you do, the lack of normal contact with colleagues will sooner or later play a negative role in your career.

Think about what kind of people you really enjoy. And go to where they work. Then life will become much more pleasant.

5. Your boss only looks up

Often, in caring for their promotion, the leader pays attention only to the higher management, not providing sufficient support to those who are under his control. This situation is not uncommon. However, such a policy will not lead to positive results. Productive teamwork means having a stake in everyone's overall result. Do you feel that the leader only plays for himself? Don't be fooled - you won't be successful here.

6. You are stressed

Today everything more people complain of constant background anxiety and even panic. Perhaps you are one of them? Then pay special attention to this paragraph of the article. Do not think that anxiety can be unreasonable if it has become your constant companion, although, at first glance, nothing unusual is happening. Most likely, the reason lies precisely in what has become routine and habitual for you - in your work.

You can, of course, resort to the help of a psychologist, sedatives (almost certainly you have already tried this). But these remedies only fight the symptoms. If your anxiety begins in the morning, and in the evening you fly out of the office hoping to finally hide in your hideout (house, gym or bar), this is a sure sign that you need to look for another place to work.

7. You become sick more often

In some cases, it can lead to even more negative consequences: feeling unwell becomes habitual, chronic diseases develop. But before you grumble about the deteriorating environment and say that "old age is not a joy", think about whether you really eat so badly or have little rest? If so, try to change it. But if you are wondering how your friends manage to stay full of strength despite the fact that they do not follow all the healthy lifestyle rules that you are obsessed with, and you were not a weak child as a child, then you should change your tactics. Try this time not to change yourself, but the world around you - start with work.

8. You do not share the ideas of your company

If it seems to you that the company should work in a completely different way, then it will be difficult to strive for the same goal with the management.

When you are not at all close to the corporate spirit, moral principles and ethical standards reigning at work, no matter how hard you try to disguise it, the "flock" will not accept you.

You have every right to your own vision of how everything should be arranged. But you should not aggressively oppose it to the existing order. Let the other be different and yourself yourself. And find a job among your own.

9. You Can't Reach Balance

You are constantly rushing between work and family, feeling that you do not have time either there or there. Spending more time with your family means that you don't have time to complete your boss's assignments on time. And by being late at work, you miss important events for your loved ones. It looks like you have a "work-personal life". Take a deep breath and soberly admit that you better try yourself in another position. And it is better if this is your decision, and not your boss or your relatives.

10. Your productivity has dropped

Even if you are still coping with the tasks set, but you feel that you are no longer productive, it may be time to change something. Finding tips for is easy. But try not to get bogged down in all these ideas of self-development, motivation and personal growth - know the measure and remember the goal. If you are not planning to become a business coach, then you need to look the other way. Namely, in the area of ​​your professional interests. But perhaps in a different position or in a different company.

11. Your abilities are not used

This is not the first time you have been rejected for a promotion, and attempts to take on more difficult tasks have not been successful. It looks like your management just doesn't want to admit that you can give the company more. Don't let your ambition ruin. Try to find another place where your talents will be given the green light.

12. Your responsibilities are growing, but your salary is not.

There may be various reasons for this, but in any case, you should not take it for granted. If the reduction in the company led to the fact that you got twice as much work, and the salary, meanwhile, is not proportional, then the management is pursuing an unfair policy.

Even if you are being offered a raise, before celebrating, make sure that the salary rises in proportion to your responsibilities.

Don't give in to vanity or chase a pretty job title. If it seems to you that your work is underestimated - look for another job!

13. Your ideas are not heard

Are your suggestions no longer appreciated, and your ideas being dismissed like annoying flies? This is a bad trend. Of course, you should not throw a letter of resignation if it happened once or twice. Maybe you need to change the way you present your thoughts. However, if they do not want to take your opinion into account over and over again without explaining the reasons, you should not be disappointed in yourself and in the world - it is worth looking for a new job.

14. You are not being thanked.

If, on the contrary, your suggestions are being used to the utmost, and the company's successful decisions are largely based on your ideas, but no one says thanks to you, this is an unhealthy atmosphere. Perhaps, of course, the manager is reflected in the amount of payments. In such a situation, determine for yourself honestly whether you only need a material assessment of your own merits. If not, and even more so when your ideas are simply impudently appropriated by someone else, you have every moral right to quit your job and find a place where you will be sincerely grateful.

15. You are stagnant

Are you bored. At your work, you perform the same type of tasks day after day and do not learn anything new. Chances are, you've already grown out of this position.

Answer yourself to the question: are you developing here as a professional?

If there is no room for growth in this company, you should move on and look for a place in another.

16. You are criticized

In any situation in work environment there is only room for criticism of your work. If the boss becomes personal and personally showered you with negative assessments, these are problems of his character and upbringing. If you are unable to change the style of such communication to a more productive one, do not be offended, do not dare - it is better to look for another job under the guidance of an adequate professional.

17. You are being insulted

It is absolutely unacceptable if you are being insulted by someone from your colleagues. If you are the victim of bullying, sexual harassment or any other aggressive behavior, if you are cheated in financial matters or do not fulfill your promises, immediately!

18. You promise yourself to quit.

For years, many have promised themselves and their loved ones that they will change jobs. However, it never gets to the point. Time after time you wait for “a new bone to be thrown at you,” and justify with it that you are not doing anything. Seeing the good in any situation is the path of calmness. But not always the path to development.

Don't be fooled - take proactive steps to build a successful career and a happy life.

19. You don't dream of a leadership position.

Do you work hard and fulfill all the tasks set by the management? Can you imagine yourself at least in your dreams as a leader? If not, then you are out of place. Not everyone is, of course, bosses and directors, but at least becoming a project manager is a natural development in the workplace. If you do not see yourself in this position in the next few years, it is worth considering a change in activity.

20. You are afraid to think about the future.

In such a situation, changing jobs should be a top priority. This decision will not be easy to make, since you've made up a whole list of excuses for yourself a long time ago. Write down on paper all the reasons why you think that you will not be successful in your career. Crumple up and throw in the trash can!

Think back to your childhood dreams, make a list of your skills, and a list of what you would like to learn. Find common ground and start moving towards improving your life.

You can and must give yourself and the world more than the dull anticipation of the end of the working day!
