Once getting through the newbie period, new employees in the workplace start to "outsource" their mentors.

Arrange PPTs, create podcasts... Mom doesn't have to worry about my work anymore!

The Adventures of a Workplace Newbie

On social media at the end of June, fresh graduates collectively staged a large-scale "mental breakdown" scene.

One second, they were shouting "Youth never ends" and "We share the past, but each has our own future" in their graduation plogs. The next second, they were posting wails like "I'm really anxious about starting work as a fresh graduate" and "Why am I so nervous about starting work soon?"... Just when they had just thrown their graduation caps into the air, how come they had to put on the "worker" skin all of a sudden? The speed of this script switch is just too fast!

In order to combat the sudden "job - entry anxiety", workplace newcomers began to frantically search for all kinds of workplace guides on social media, trying to find the secret to quickly integrate into the workplace. Song Xin is one of them.

As a fresh graduate, when she first received an offer from a big company, her mind was full of delicate pictures of a "city beauty". However, in the first week of her employment, reality gave her a set of "combination punches for workplace newcomers".

First of all, in terms of getting along with colleagues, Song Xin found that her colleagues in the same group were all "old hands" with many years of work experience, and she had nothing in common with them. Then, in terms of business, she had only worked on mature projects during her internship and just needed to follow the SOP. Now, she had to start a new project from scratch and had no idea where to start. What made her most frustrated was that whenever Song Xin wanted to talk to her mentor about work, the mentor always seemed very busy. After a week, the effective communication time between Song Xin and her mentor was no more than two hours.

Helpless Song Xin posted a post during her lunch break, detailing her gap and sighing that "it's so painful for fresh graduates to start work", feeling that she was "dancing on the edge of being laid off". The comment section attracted many fresh - graduate "fellow sufferers" who huddled together for comfort, saying that they were in the same situation. "I don't know who to ask when doing things every day" and "I feel like an orphan in the workplace." Some said that they had become their bosses' personal assistants and were told to "fetch water, make tea and organize documents for him every day". Some even got a "996" experience card on their first day of work and worked overtime until 9:30 p.m...

Is the workplace environment for fresh graduates really like this? As someone who has graduated for many years, I decided to find an "assistant" to explore the current employment market for fresh graduates.

After using Kouzi Space to generate the podcast at the beginning of the article and the above pictures in one sentence, I found that on June 25th, Kouzi Space launched a brand - new PPT function. So I decided to take this opportunity to have a good experience.

After inputting the requirement of "Analyze the employment environment for fresh graduates in 2025", Kouzi will start thinking about its execution plan. You just need to click the "Generate Outline" and "Generate PPT" options twice, and Kouzi Space will quietly do what it should do.

You just need to slack off while "letting" Kouzi think on its own. It's worth mentioning that one task in Kouzi Space can run five times at the same time, and finally you can choose the one that makes you most satisfied.

In the right - hand toolbar, you can also clearly see how Kouzi designs the background color, borders and style of the PPT. Everything is "open - kitchen" processed, so you'll never have to eat the pre - made dishes in the PPT world again.

In less than 10 minutes, Kouzi Space generated a PPT that covered many aspects such as the current situation of the employment environment, industry demand analysis, employment challenges and opportunities. It feels like God has given me an extremely efficient intern. I don't have to do the research myself anymore.

The PPT generated by Kouzi Space

If you're not satisfied with the style and visual effects of the PPT, you can input the same task multiple times and choose a PPT in other styles. There must be one that's your Mr. Right ——

It can be one with a humanistic touch:

It can be a research report that looks quite convincing:

Even when you don't know what style to choose, you can let Kouzi Space design it intelligently according to your needs:

I have to say, Kouzi Space has really good taste!

The 24 - Hour All - Round Mentor

Of course, Kouzi Space can do more than this.

The blogger @Lin Yi LYi showed off a series of operations on Kouzi Space. First, she asked Kouzi Space to research "the AI position requirements of domestic first - tier technology companies for campus recruits" and generated a job - hunting guide for fresh graduates. "With such a chart, I don't have to search for treasures among all kinds of advertising information on the search engine, nor do I have to manually sort out information by comparing different web pages back and forth." Then she asked Kouzi Space to call on Gaode Map to find suitable housing, which solved the problem of renting a house for fresh graduates with one click. "Kouzi Space is the 'problem - solver' for graduates," @Lin Yi LYi sighed.

This post happened to be seen by Song Xin, who was in self - doubt, and she was immediately attracted. Relying on others is not as good as relying on AI. She decided to turn to Kouzi Space and start a "rescue plan for workplace rookies".

01) Write a research report

When she first started working on a new project, Song Xin was asked by her mentor to write a "competitor report". Song Xin was stunned. She could only flip through materials page by page and pick out key points word by word, thinking "I'm going to be tortured to tears by work". In order to save herself from "going bald and blind", she decided to assign the task to Kouzi Space.

All she had to do was say, "Help me write a PPT on the data analysis report of the Chinese smartphone industry in 2024". In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Song Xin received a PPT that included not only valuable content such as market overview, brand competition pattern and technological trends, but also insights such as challenges, opportunities and future prospects. Its professionalism is no less than that of a novice researcher.

02) Write a weekly report

Just after getting through the report, Song Xin was told by her leader that she had to write a weekly report every week. Slacking off all week is great, but writing a weekly report is a nightmare. Looking at the thousand - word reports written by her colleagues, Song Xin couldn't think of anything to summarize or plan except "contact KOL bloggers".

She opened Kouzi Space again and dumped all her disorganized notes to it. In just a few minutes, Kouzi Space instantly became an old hand in the workplace and sorted out Song Xin's "great achievements" this week, the "grand blueprint" for next week, and the "profound reflection". Song Xin just needed to fill in a few key numbers on this basis, and she could easily get a long - length weekly report that would impress her leader.

03) Create a podcast

Just when Song Xin took a breath from work, Zhang Lanlan, who had just joined a digital marketing company, was facing a "job - leaving crisis".

As more and more brands and Internet companies are trying to get a share of the podcast market, Zhang Lanlan's leader also had the idea of trying his hand in the podcast field and asked Zhang Lanlan to create a podcast to test the waters.

But when Zhang Lanlan started speaking, not only did her voice sound like a "Donald Duck", but her poor expression also exposed her social - phobia nature. Zhang
