You’ve worked really hard applying and networking to land your dream job. For some of you, this is your first job out of college. It’s critical you start out on the right foot. Many of our young clients don’t think about having a successful on-boarding strategy and how to navigate their first 90 days.
Listed below are some tips to start off successfully on your new job:
- Focus on relationships(manager, colleagues, etc.). Some things take time—and one of those things is building trust
-
- Grab lunch or a drink after work to get to know them outside of work(if given an option, go into work)
- Be a sponge when it comes to learning the company culture, products, process, etc
- Take initiative- if you have finished an assignment and have free time, volunteer to help other
colleagues - Ask for feedback informally during the first 30,60, 90 days of starting your new position
-
- What am I doing well?
- Areas of improvement?
- Ask your manager the following questions when you start?
-
- What does success look like after 30,60 and 90 days?
- How will I be evaluated? What metrics?
- When I need help, who should I reach out to?
- Find a mentor who can help you navigate the culture and questions you might have
