Why the hell I am not getting support from others? Why nobody is helping me in finishing my work in less time? Ask for help and the reply will either be search in Google or think or do some R&D or try …
There is a famous saying, build your foundation from the stones thrown at you, as a beginner in your career, these might be the hurdles you would be facing and in this post I am here to help you.
At the beginning of your career, it is very important to understand the basics and how things work. The pre-requisites for anyone to excel are: get to know the actual problem, the way of implementation; and given a chance provide your inputs and views without fear.
The person, who is guiding or mentoring you, may want you to think and come up with a solution instead of receiving ideas and you just implementing them. So if you go for help you get one of the above replies from him. Some times these may trigger you to think that your colleague/senior is not helping and ultimately may create a negative impression about him. It is not right to think so. By asking you do everything, they are trying to increase your thinking capability and logic. When you face such situations then try to analyze things than just following blindly.
There is a famous quote which goes like this ‘The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.’ So go and explore instead of getting bogged down. If this does not happen at early stages of your career, you would soon become dependent on others and in no time your identity will be lost.
All they (colleague/senior) want from you is
How will you tackle the given problem?
What will be your approach?
How do you react to different situations?
Any or all of the above will help in your growth and build self confidence.
