Hello everyone, I am a ruffian balance, is a serious technical ruffian. Ruffian balance does not speak technology today, with everyone casually chatter.
Ruffian balance these years with the deepening of qualifications (at the same time with the reduction of hair), also took a lot of fresh students/interns, but also because of the project cooperation often consult the company’s predecessors, so consult others and be consulted some experience.
Today mainly said the couple advice on our business, if you are a newcomer, workplace after general orientation, your manager will give you arrange for a nominal master (mentor), the teacher usually colleagues in the company work three to five years, familiar with the company’s products and business, he can quickly take you introduction, help you solve the early work encountered any incurable diseases.
But ruffian balance in the master in front of this noun added a “nominal” attributive modification, why is the nominal master? In essence, the relationship between you and him is just a level colleague relationship. Everyone has his own work plan and arrangement, so the master just helps you without any benefit.
Understand the definition of the workplace master, then when seeking advice from the master, you need to straighten out the mentality, do not have that kind of master must be responsible for you in the end. So what exactly is the correct posture to open up and ask a teacher for advice? Ruffian balance from the master psychological point of view to the new three points of advice:
Always choose the right moment
As the old saying goes, “right place at the right time”, ruffian balance to consult the master of the time in the first place, the timing is very important, the reason is that the master also has their own work tasks, the first goal of the master to work every day is to complete the established task, have spare energy, he will be very willing to take the new, to help the new.
We embedded this line is unavoidable and all kinds of code to deal with, a lot of time is not in writing code is on the way to solve the Bug, and code to deal with is a need to focus on the work, most people are not willing to be disturbed in their own concentration.
Therefore, as a newcomer, you must find the right time to consult your master. Try not to interrupt your master when he is immersed in his work. A good-tempered master may be able to put down his own work and switch to helping you. A bad-tempered master will even refuse you outright, and even if he doesn’t refuse you, he will be very bad in helping you. In the long run, it is not conducive to the growth of new recruits.
So what is the right time? This needs to be observed, everyone has different habits, need to pay more attention to peacetime. For example, if the master wants to fetch water from the water supply room, you can also fetch water after him, and then bring up your problem during the process. When he returns to his seat, he can naturally switch to the task of helping you. For example, you are chatting with other colleagues about something outside of work. As soon as the teacher finishes the conversation, you immediately go over to ask questions. For example, if the chef is cleaning the desk or unpacking the package, you can also ask questions. If your question is a little urgent, but there is no time for your teacher, you can notify your teacher on Skype/WeChat first and ask when your teacher is free.
In a word, don’t interrupt your master while he is concentrating on his work, and don’t affect his normal work.
Be prepared to ask questions
If you choose the right time, the master is also willing to help you at this time, at this time you need to seize the opportunity to ask questions, you should cherish every opportunity to ask questions, be sure to make every time to ask questions become effective and efficient!
What is effective consulting? First of all, make sure your questions are precise and specific. If the questions are big, break them down into smaller questions and write them down in your notebook. Bring your notebook with you when you ask questions. Secondly, for each small question, you need to do some understanding to try in advance, to let the master know that you really can not solve, because you have tried, when the master answers you, you can have a sense of enlightenment. Finally, you need to write down all the key points of the master’s answer, and then go back to re-understand and sort it out by yourself. Don’t ask the master repeatedly because you can’t remember. People’s patience is limited.
In addition to some complex logic or a matter of architecture, the need to do additional preparation work before asking questions, you can draw the module block diagram or flow chart, for example, in the drawing out of your confusion, when ask the master control chart to, because the figure forever more straightforward than your description, but also can ensure that you and master the process of communication is always not wandering around themes.
Only when you have prepared enough questions will your master patiently answer them for you, because it shows your basic respect for your master.
Three, appropriate communication outside work
And finally, your relationship with Shifu outside of work. People are sentient animals. Although they get together for the purpose of earning money to support their families, they should get along with colleagues for a long time after all. If appropriate, they can talk about their lives.
The talk life here does not mean the kind of in-depth heart-to-heart talk, Ruffian balance does not recommend you and the master to talk about personal/family privacy, whether you reveal your privacy to the master, or you want to inquire about the master’s privacy, this is not desirable.
It is said that a hedge between keeps friendship green, and the real and lasting friendship is actually plain. We chat about hobbies, current events and the occasional joke. We should feel very comfortable in each other’s presence or absence.
Of course, if you feel that your master is sincere and meticulous for your help, you can invite your master to have a meal from time to time to express your gratitude. Your master’s help is not profitable in nature, so you can give back appropriately to make your master feel that you are a grateful person.
The above is ruffian balance on how to consult the master of some personal words, do not guarantee absolute effectiveness, for reference only. Well, that’s all for today’s chitchat. See you next time.
