Is it necessary true that a newly graduate cannot do a job well?

When you have had a job for 5 years or more, you can see that you have changed a lot and learned a lot since you started. When you look back on the time when you had just started, you see the mistakes you made, and you know that you would have done things differently today because of your experience. Maybe your collegue is generalizing and maybe he is thinking ("I was bad in the beginning, and other people who have just graduated are bad, too") but that isn't always true. You can learn a lot from experience, but it is not the only thing that matters.

i don't believe in that. for what it's worth, i think newly grads can do the same work, if not better than the older ones. the reason why i think that was is that newly grads have a more recent knowledge than one who's been employed longer. i'm not saying that experience is not a factor. of course, it is. but say, when it comes to doctrines, terminologies and theories of the field, a newly grad will probably know more. and not just because you're a newly grad, it necessarily means that everyone's better than you. just be confident, and if you know you're getting the job done and you're getting it right, then don't listen to what that other guy told you. :)

It is a given. Even if we perform well in school, experienced professionals will still look down on us. The best way is to just prove to them that we can do what they can do. Sad, but that is life. Respect is not given to us in silver platter. It is actually earned. By running into conflict with your colleague will not disprove what they think about you, it will just worsen it. Just ignore them and prove to them that you are good at what you do just like them.

We cannot deny the fact the older teachers have more experience compared to the new ones. But it does not mean that they are better compared to the new ones. I think that it is natural for older ones to be insecure if they realize that someone is better than them especially if that person is just new in the company. But in my case, I am not insecure with the new ones. If they are better than me, that is fine.

Hello friend, I am sorry to learn of your experience. First of all, I have learned you love to invest much efforts at least at learning the English language. I am no professor, by any means, either; but I would like to point out that you must proof read your writing before you post it, submit it, or present it. As a self improvement motivator, I would love for you to identify your own errors and be your critic for this peace you posted. Come back and let me know, your findings; and we will brain storm. I don't agree and irritates me to know how that individual would chose to be so arrogant towards you and forget, that one day in the past he was a new and unexperienced employee as well. Now you should have used your intelligent feedback to put him in his place instead of choosing to let it go. You should always stand your ground. Now, that tough love, should teach you to be a perfectionist and prove to the world you can set a standard above all. Mostly for you students to learn from, rather then to prove anyone anything.

If you do not have a work experience, you'll actually be hired because of your attitude. It may be true that you're not yet an experienced teacher but with your being industrious you'll definitely work it out sooner. I think your colleague is just threatened by you. So don't mind him. There's no sense correcting him because he will shut up when he realize himself that you intend to do your best and give your 100% in teaching. I think that's what is most important. To answer your question, NO, it is not necessarily true that a newly grad cannot do a job well. Because if he has the right attitude, he'll be perfect for the job.

First of all, please do let me write what I think about this discussion, OK. =) For me, performing a job well or not well depends a lot on one's experience and it's not only the matter of newly graduate or 'oldly' graduate. It's not always necessary that a newly graduate can't do his job well. Especially if the new graduate already has working experience during his study, through such a placement year or whatever it's called. However, I believe that everybody needs adaptation and it is actually a process. All I know about process that it takes time, sometimes it takes a while.

Not really true. As the matter of fact, most newly graduates are in the state to prove themselves. They will work really hard and try their best to produce the best result. I don't see why they didn't been given a chance for that. But we also need to realize that some company aren't willing to take this chance as they can't afford any failure, even a small one. That's why they didn't take the risk to hire a newly graduate.

I'm glad you were able to control yourself and didn't get into a fight with him, but what he was saying was absolutely untrue. A lack of experience doesn't necessarily mean a lack of ability. It's generally true that skills are honed through time; however, it is not the only criteria. Effort and determination count as well. By the manner you wrote your story, I see that you are very determined to be the best person in your job. So I think you'll go a long way in your chosen career. More power and good luck to you! :)

I am sorry to say this but sometimes (not in general) bigots / gozzzzipers people like your example are gays.. This is based from my personal experience so be aware of that...That must be a break 'em or make 'em experience for a new comer like you. Take good care there and goodluck

Naw, its a generalization. But I would say experience goes a long way. book work and junk can only get you so far right? Your bound to do something stupid at some point that could have easily been avoided if you had the experience. Although you could be a really diligent person and all, so perhaps not.. But MAYBE! Lol

I don't think so.If one has the capacity,knowledge and can put hard work he is ultimate.So,remember your colleague that he was once a newly graduate.Do not mind all that stuff and go your way and gain success

To do a job well you need knowledge, diligence, perseverance and thoughtfulness. Experience teaches you a lot of things if you are willing to listen, to reflect and learn. There are a lot of people out there with "experience" who have never analyzed what they have learned and thus have not understood a darned thing about their job. By the same token, there are young people who think they know everything, without realizing that many times a job demands more than technical or academic knowledge and that life experience counts. You seem to be a thoughtful person who is good teacher and on your way to become a great teacher. Congratulations for handling a difficult situation with restrain an maturity!

hi.. dont get me wrong ok? as far as experience is concern YES is my answer but i also believe that fresh graduates are more initiative and obedience than those who have been working for 5 years and fresh graduates are willing to be train and very cooperative as i may say .. so just go on .. show the world what is in you as fresh graduate and show the company that you will be an asset for them.. goodluck!

hi friend, i think its not correct because newly graduates just comes from the college and they are new to field and they feel lonely starting but if u stick there for 1 to 2 months u can gather cofidence

Everyone starting a new job is going to have their ups and downs regardless of what the occupation or when in their life they start the new job. Experience comes with time. just give yourself that. And keep in mind this colleague of yours was at one time a newbie himself.
