to TS:
i'm a fresh grad too, working for ard 6 months. cant really help u on ur work competency, but these are some advices which may be helpful.

- have an honest conversation with ur boss, ask him what are his/her expectations of you and discuss how u can meet his expectations. dont be afraid to share which areas u may/will fall short in and the unmentioned areas u think u'll like to take up responsibilities in
- read up as much as possible on ur work, product and company. scan through all the folders available to you and read any documents u find important/interesting, these knowledge will def help in the future
- find out exactly what each of ur colleague does, at least the ones who somehow appear in ur emails
- dont confine urself to only one clique in the office, mingle ard with everyone. esp at pantry/canteen and during company functions. these connections are important and u'll always learn sth during the conversations
- dont try too hard, if u are, u're not doing things right. dunno, just ask. and be urself
