Once You’ve Got the Job

ou’ve finally landed your dream job after sending numerous applications, impressing during interviews and waiting to receive confirmation. So, what’s next?

The anxiety regarding the uncertainty of your new job can be dismal.

Relax and prepare for the upcoming journey.

If you’re unsure how to act as you begin your new occupation, check out these tips.

The First Week It doesn’t matter how

qualified or educated you are for your new position; you’re not expected to know everything about the operation during your first week. Take this time to familiarize yourself with your surroundings, policies and peers.

To alleviate anxiousness, try to introduce yourself to as many people as you can.

It shows that you’re eager

about the opportunity and interested to share your enthusiasm. This could lead to a chance to grab lunch or coffee after befriending a coworker. Their knowledge of the environment will be an advantage.

The First Month At this point, you should be settling into your new role. Now is a good time to begin organizing tasks and determining how to perform them efficiently.

with you also and may offer more constructive criticism than before. It’s important to use this as a chance to grow rather than get offended. Being humble and open-minded can help you transition into the new setting faster.

The First 90 Days After the first few months, you should have a good grasp on the responsibilities surrounding your new role. Be proactive in setting ambitious goals and create a strategy for reaching them.

Once these obligations become comfortable, step up the level of difficulty to challenge yourself.

This is also a good time to establish boundaries.

In your first few months, you may feel obligated to take on more work, but after learning what you

can handle, it’s OK to say no if it will impact your performance negatively.

Try to touch base with previous coworkers once you settle in to the new position. Keeping your professional network in tact is an important part of any career.
