7 promises you make when you start a new job, but never keep

The holidays have been over for a long time. Some of you may have changed jobs with the new season, others have finished your studies and are just entering the job market. A new job does not only mean a new location and new colleagues, but for an individual it is also a moment when he can turn over a new leaf and at least partially change his life. But it quickly becomes clear that habit is an iron shirt and that it is often difficult to keep an oath. Here you can read a list of 7 promises you make when you start a new job, but find it difficult to keep them.

Here you will find an interesting list of 7 promises you make to yourself when you start a new job, but don't keep them. How many of them have you already violated?

A concrete dose of sleep every day

It is not even true that sleep is for the weak. Sleep is a necessary component of a healthy lifestyle. When starting a new job, you probably promise yourself that you will regulate your biorhythm, but what if that is almost impossible in a world full of new opportunities and sudden surprises.

A peaceful start to the day

When you started your new job, you may have toyed with the idea that you would get up early enough every morning to meditate, read the newspaper, eat breakfast or take your dog for a walk. How you doing?

If you don't know something, you will be brave enough to ask

Being new to a company or office is no small feat. Especially if your job duties are quite different from what you are used to. At the beginning, you may have promised yourself that you would have no problem asking your superior or co-worker for help, but sometimes it is very difficult. We encourage you not to be afraid and ask a question when you are interested in something.

You will find friends among your colleagues

Most of us step into a new job with great hope and drive to make friends with new colleagues. Unfortunately, however, this is not simply a question of our willingness to invest in relationships, but also depends somewhat on luck. Sometimes we find friends among colleagues, and sometimes we don't.

You will stand up for yourself

Especially if your new job has to do with something that you are very interested in, you probably really want to gather enough courage to stand up for yourself and the values you believe in during times of conflict and turning points. Fingers crossed that you succeed!

Stand up for your values!

Good use of free time

Student life does not know a clear line between free time and work. Projects merge into hanging out with friends, and fun social evenings are the starting points for new ideas. At work, work and free time become a little more distinct, and that's when I really want you to spend your precious weekends and vacations wisely.

You will maintain your passion for your profession

Hardly anyone lands their dream job right off the bat (congratulations if you did). If you are in a position that is not your favorite, you should actively work on not losing your passion for your profession. If you find that the chemistry between you has died completely, it may be time to think about a new job.
