For those who have just got a new job: 14 tips
This month thousands of people will find a new job, where initially they have to go through emotional moments, proving that they are worthy of their place.
"The first three months of the new job is a continuation of the interview. From the very first day need to prove their worth," says Amanda Augustine, a consultant for employment portal TopResume.
We bring you her tips on what to do on a new job in the first week to achieve success.
1. Actively meet with colleagues
Feel free to first establish friendships. Greet with everyone in the Elevator, a dining room and even the bathroom. In the end it will pay off.
Augustine advises: "Start with your environment: those who work directly with you."
Your adjustment to a new team is in their interests, because your work is directly related to what they are doing.
2. Ask a lot of questions
In the first week absorbing as much information as possible. If you are going to make big changes, you first need to understand how all this works, and to earn the trust of the team.
3. Be humble
Nobody likes a smartass, and even if you consider yourself the best employee in the world, you certainly do not know absolutely everything. When new colleagues or boss offer you help or advice, take them.
Never reply that your previous company did everything else. People really hate it.
Even if you really don't need help, demonstrate a willingness to listen to the advice of others — this will increase the self-esteem of your colleagues (and maybe tone down their fears on your account). In addition, it may be useful in the future when you will need help for real.
4. Make friends with an experienced colleague
Find out who have been working in the company and has authority in the team. An experienced employee who knows how everything works here, will help to bring you up to speed.
"Every company has its own communication style and jokes. Find someone who will help you to understand the cuts taken here and relationships in the team," advises Augustine.
Besides, you need someone you can ask about things like — not go to the chief with the question, where is the printer paper.
5. Understand what you expect from subordinates and superiors
"Talk to the boss. During the first meeting try to understand what is expected of you in the first week, month and quarter at the new place," advises Augustine.
At the same time, if you are the leader, it is important to clearly explain to the subordinates what you require from them. Don't forget that your behavior and communication style during the first week will set the tone for the entire work.
6. Try to understand the relationships within the team
Pay attention to small behaviors of your colleagues. It is likely that some of them gunning for your spot, so be vigilant.
Try to make friends with your employees and use their best qualities for the common good, to avoid conflicts in the formation of the team.
7. Find out where the coffee is
For successful work it is always important to know where the coffee and how the coffee machine is switched on. You also need to understand the unwritten rules of office etiquette, the violation of which can lead to the present explosion in the team. Who washes the dishes? On any of the shelves store the common cookies?
8. Find out where you can buy takeaway food
