Useful tips on how to show yourself on the positive side in the first days in a new position.
Learn to
A big mistake for a beginner and even a person with extensive experience is to make any important decisions too quickly. In the beginning, you need to absorb all the information that comes to you and be attentive to all the details.
Talk to your supervisor. Discuss issues that are unlikely to be on the staff memo. For example, such.
- What do you expect from me in the first few days?
- What results do you expect from me in the first month?
- What should I consider in advance to make my work even more efficient?
Ask your new colleagues about the specifics of working in the company.
- Which way of communication between employees is preferable: live communication or social networks?
- Are there any prohibited topics for discussion?
Observe
Monitor the behavior of your colleagues. Do they talk about topics that are distracted from work? Do they leave the office for lunch, or do they eat in the shared kitchen? What kind of relationship has developed between them? This will help you adapt more quickly to a new circle of acquaintances.
Customize your work
In the first days of work, you suddenly realized that some tasks are beyond your shoulders. If this is the case, try talking to your boss. Offer him a compromise: instead of those tasks, do what you are very strong at. Sometimes, with the permission of the superiors, you can switch tasks with a colleague.
Identify the top players
Every organization has an official and an informal leader. And both play a very important role. Try to figure them out quickly and earn their trust.
Do not overwork during the first time of work
Imagine that an employee immediately goes all out and then slows down. The bosses will probably think that he has lost motivation and interest in work. That is why at first it is not worth reworking in a new place.
Do not show off
If you have some brilliant working idea, you shouldn't immediately bring it to life. Check with your boss first and listen to his opinion.
Don't aim higher than the stars when you first start working. But when you get comfortable, then you can pursue big goals. It is best to offer innovative ideas to your boss after he or she has praised you for something.
