Mistakes at the workplace

Hi everyone, 

Hope to hear stories about some mistakes people have made at work in the world of HR.

I have been working short term contracts in HR for the last year after a change of careers. But what I am finding is due to the short term contracts I feel I do not have anyone to confide in and chat too. In my other career I would make a mistake then tell my friends and they would tell me stories of their mistakes and we would laugh about it. But this would help me put my mistakes into prospective and realise they are not such a big mistake and I would from this experience as I am the type of person who learns quicker when making any mistake.

But now when I make a mistake I have no idea how big my mistakes are and I have no-one to confide in. Off course these mistakes then begin to build up in my head and I have no way to measure how good or bad I am with my new career.

It would be nice hear from other peoples experiences.

  • Hello, I completely understand how you feel. It's natural to feel anxious when transitioning to a new job, especially in the field of human resources where every decision and mistake may seem significant. I believe that all of us make mistakes at the beginning of our careers, and these mistakes are part of the learning process. The important thing is to learn from them and gather the lessons that help us improve our performance. When you don't have someone you trust to share your mistakes and experiences with, things can feel overwhelming in your mind. But remember that even small mistakes can be opportunities for growth. Reading about others' stories and experiences can help reduce this sense of isolation. You can also set aside some time to evaluate the mistakes that occur—ask yourself: "What have I learned from this situation?" and "How can I handle it differently in the future?" This approach will help you build self-confidence and ensure that you are on the path to improvement. Finally, try to find someone experienced in your field who can serve as a mentor or trusted colleague. Having someone you can share your challenges with will help alleviate any pressure or anxiety you may be feeling.
