12 Tips While Entering A New Job
7. Don’t make enemies
In your eagerness to impress your boss, don’t become enemies with your colleagues. Be competitive, but try not to defame others or show-off that you are superior.
8. Let your work do the talking
When you want to create a good impression at work, it is more important to show your capability with the deeds you do rather than only talking about them.
9. Don’t be too friendly and also not too aloof.
Strike a balance with colleagues. Don’t be too friendly on the first day or remain too aloof. Both extremes are not good. Be a part, yet stand apart.
10. Do a personality profiling of your boss
It always helps to know what kind of person your boss is. It helps you to understand how he wants the things to be done around at your workplace. So be quick enough to unravel his personality and working style.
11. Make friends with photocopier guy/ peon/ receptionist and the likes
The seemingly ‘not so important’ people are actually the ones who can really help you settle in fast. They are the ones who can pour you the details of work culture and personality profiles of employees. Besides, they come really handy when you are pressed for time and want things done quickly.
12. Leave past prejudices behind
Whatever bitter experiences or past prejudices that you may be carrying around, it’s better to leave them behind. Enter the new job with a fresh mind and a fresh start.
