There Must Be "Empty Cup Thought" When Entering Society.

University

After I graduated, I was engaged in foreign trade work in a private enterprise. It is a sunrise industry in other people's eyes.

On the first day of work, I was very big.

Although there are some experience in using office equipment during the internship, there are still some problems.

At first, I was embarrassed to trouble others, but in the end I couldn't decide, so I had to bite my head and ask someone else.

Fortunately, my colleagues will come to help me when I have problems, so I can do these little things well.

On the first day, maybe I only put a drop of water in this empty cup, but I think this is a good start.

Knowledge has no limit

Chang Zhang is always an expert in import and export trade. He has more than 20 years of experience in import and export trade, and other shareholders say he is a big treasure.

One morning, Zhang asked me to go to a company that used to import and declare warehouses for our company, which is far away from Pudong airport.

After about more than 40 minutes' drive, we arrived at the agency, and the head of the import department received us.

I listened carefully to their conversation and got a good understanding of the whole logistics process of the agent company.

Zhang asked a lot of questions about the latest logistics knowledge and industry information. For a long time, several key issues have been made clear.

I am surprised that Chang is so experienced and so good at learning. I think the secret of his becoming a "treasure" lies in that.

Responsibility first

I was careless at the beginning of my work, but unfortunately I made some mistakes.

On a weekend a few months ago, I took the prepared foreign payment materials to the bank to get the money back to Hongkong before I finished work.

I checked the amount, date, invoice and contract carefully, then I was sure that there was no problem and then I handed it to the bank.

After examination, the bank staff will pay foreign exchange purchase in accordance with the procedures.

I didn't expect to be called to the office by the general manager when I went to work on Monday.

His face was very ugly. In the first sentence, he asked me, "how much did you write to the account you paid to Hongkong?" I immediately realized that there might be a problem with the account number: the account number was sent to me by SMS in Hongkong. When I wrote it down, the last number was just in line. I didn't continue the text message, and I lost the last number.

Due to the lack of timely payment of funds, Hongkong's failure to pay on time has damaged the credibility of the company and caused a small amount of economic losses.

At that time, I fell into a deep remorse, and later through various aspects of communication with the bank, in the shortest time to the money to the Hongkong account.

This thing makes me understand that sometimes, though you have made 99% preparations for a thing, it may be 1% of carelessness, and the effort ahead will be zero or even negative.

This may be the law of workplace survival.

In order to memorize this lesson, the payment slip of the wrong account is posted to my work notebook. Whenever I open it at work, it reminds me: "responsibility" weighs two words.
