Start Your New Job In 2010 The Best Way Possible – Christchurchjobs.co.nz
How to Start your brand new Job Successfully
Starting a brand new profession can be a intimidating experience. Now, more than ever, it is significant to make the right impact. You may be working with these people for a long time and how you come across in the first days and weeks can have an impact on how you will be perceived in the future and what opportunities you will be made available to you.
To make the best possible start in your new job, it’s worthwhile to follow this guide:
Don’ts
• Do not think since you are new, you can sit back and take it easy for a while and let everyone else show you what to do. Show resourcefulness and enthusiasm.
• Do not try and re-invent the wheel from day one. The best advice is to learn your job well before you start to try to change the processes
• Do not be drawn into discussions about other members of staff. You do not know whom you can trust and whom you can’t at this stage. Stay away from office politics.
• Do not use your work cell phone to make personal calls without asking and even then, keep them to a minimum.
• [spin]Do not leave on time, come back late from your lunch breaks or start booking holidays straight away.
• Do not sit in stillness and wait for people to talk to you. Think of questions to ask people and start conversations yourself.
Recommended
• Demonstrate that you have researched the company & products wherever possible.
• Have a note book and pen ready and write everything down.
• Ask questions when you do not understand (you are not expected to understand everything).
• Make sure you are well presented and that your body language indicates enthusiasm and willingness to work.
• Smile.
• Try to remember people’s names. It makes your life easier.
