Probation Survival 기획

Transform your probation anxiety into a structured action plan with this comprehensive 30-60-90 day survival framework designed specifically for new employees.

What This Skill Does

The Probation Survival Plan helps you navigate the most stressful period of any new job—the probationary period—by providing:

• Anxiety-to-action conversion that transforms vague fears into concrete daily tasks
• Milestone mapping with realistic 30, 60, and 90-day targets aligned with role expectations
• Feedback loop architecture for systematic communication with managers and peers
• Relationship strategy for intentional networking and team integration
• Performance documentation to track wins and combat imposter syndrome
• Boundary setting to prevent burnout during high-stress periods
• Crisis response protocols for handling mistakes, negative feedback, and overwhelm

Who This Is For

• Recent graduates entering their first professional role
• Career changers experiencing imposter syndrome in new industries
• Employees with anxiety disorders or past job trauma
• High-achievers with perfectionist tendencies struggling with uncertainty
• Remote workers navigating isolation during onboarding
• Anyone who lies awake worrying about their probation review

The Core Framework

Phase 1: Days 1-30 (LEARN)

Focus on absorbing information, building foundations, and identifying quick wins. Create your Win Tracker, schedule manager 1-on-1s, and begin building key relationships.

Phase 2: Days 31-60 (CONTRIBUTE)

Start adding measurable value while deepening expertise. Own projects end-to-end, expand your network beyond immediate team, and proactively address any feedback from Day 30.

Phase 3: Days 61-90 (ESTABLISH)

Demonstrate consistent performance and cultural fit. Compile comprehensive evidence for your final review, show initiative on improvements, and prepare talking points for the end-of-probation conversation.

Key Insight

Probation failure is rare for people who:

• Show up consistently
• Ask questions (it’s expected!)
• Build genuine relationships
• Communicate regularly with their manager
• Document their contributions

Your anxious brain lies to you—it catastrophizes normal learning curves into career-ending disasters. This skill helps you replace catastrophizing with evidence-based confidence.
