5 Ways To Ensure Success At Your New Job
Congratulations – you’ve landed that job you’ve been searching for! Now what? Landing the job is only the first step, now it’s time to make sure that you are successful so that you can keep your new job. Here are 5 helpful hints to ensure you make a good impression at your new job.
- Do Your Homework: Research and internalize everything that comes up during your first few days. Chances are that similar topics and scenarios will arise again. Document and take notes. This will help shift you from being a passive observer to an active contributor that helps resolve critical issues.
- Communicate and Collaborate: Don’t be afraid to ask questions and offer suggestions to both colleagues and bosses, just remember to be receptive to constructive feedback and keep in mind that they have been there before. Doesn’t mean they’re always right, but experience can provide useful information for the future.
- Immerse Yourself in the Company Culture: Become a part of the new family environment and make an effort to contribute to the team’s success, even if it means going above and beyond for a while.
- Record As Much As Possible: Bosses can’t be there every second of every day, nor are they aware of everything you are doing. Being able to provide evidence of personal and team success at your initial performance reviews will ensure that your efforts and accomplishments are acknowledged.
- Tend to the Basics. Sometimes being courteous, punctual and organized can go a long way in making a positive first impression. Even if you are feeling overwhelmed initially, present a confident and welcoming front until things calm down (and they will, I promise!).
