Succeeding During Your Probation Period
Ma Hnin just started as a junior admin assistant at a trading company in Lanmadaw, salary 300,000 MMK. Her manager said 'probation is three months' during orientation and nothing else. No checklist, no written goals, no weekly meetings. On Day 40, her colleague whispered that someone in the last batch got terminated on Day 89 -- no warning, no explanation, just a polite request to return the ID badge. Ma Hnin realizes she has no idea whether she is passing or failing. If this silence feels familiar, this module is for you.

Probation is not something that happens to you -- it is something you manage. The person who asks 'Am I on track?' in Week 3 is always in a stronger position than the person who waits silently until Week 12 and hopes for the best.
Understand that probation is an active performance audition, not a passive waiting period
Learn how to identify unwritten evaluation criteria specific to your manager and team
Build a weekly feedback habit that makes your contributions visible during probation
