Top Tips - Starting Your New Job!
Get your new job off to a great start by identifying exactly what landed you the offer in the first place.
Throughout the interview process, there were probably clues as to what made you the candidate of choice. Make sure to demonstrate the same characteristics and skills that prompted the employer to hire you for your new job.
Do your homework and make sure you understand exactly what is expected of you for your first day of a new job. If you're unsure, contact your new supervisor a day or two before you are scheduled to begin. That way, you can check on details such as where or to whom you are to report upon arrival. In some organisations, you report on the first workday at a different time and location than you will afterward.
Also, make sure to dress appropriately. You may have noticed how other employees were dressed when you visited the workplace for interviews. However, it's better to avoid making assumptions and ask for specific advice or directions.
The first day on a new job usually means participation in some type of Induction, which may be conducted the HR department or by your immediate supervisor. While induction varies from one organisation to another, there are a number of key components usually covered. Among them are the mission and structure of the organisation, key individuals, payroll information, benefits and services information, and policies and practices.
Starting a new job can be exciting, but often a bit overwhelming. Remember, no one expects you to learn everything at once, nor will you be expected to do everything perfectly the first time. Ask for assistance when you need it; watch closely and listen carefully so that you know what's expected of you. Thorough preparation and a positive attitude can make your new job your best job yet.
