[quote=Anonymous]The biggest difference is that your feedback loop is totally different. There are no more tests and grades. Feedback may come informally, infrequently, or not at all since some managers just suck at saying anything more than “keep doing what you’re doing”. Work with your supervisor to make sure you understand what your objectives are and how you will be evaluated. Check in monthly or every 6 weeks and make sure you are on track. You may need to initiate performance discussions. The other big change I see some new grads struggle with is the need to figure things out on their own. A key differentiator for me between entry level and the first promotion level is an employee’s ability to apply their experience and knowledge to a novel scenario. I don’t have a job aid or process for every possible situation. I need them to exercise judgement - and also to have the profession judgement when they should wing it and when they should ask for help. [/quote]
