Starting Your New Job

Even though you have been successful in showing your new employer that you have the required skills and attributes for the job, it is still important to positively influence how you are perceived by your colleagues when starting your new job.

When starting your new job you should:

• Arrive early in order to show enthusiasm.
• Dress smart and businesslike.
• Be friendly to everyone you encounter.
• Demonstrate knowledge about your new employer.
• Listen, learn and ask questions.
• Be organised and write things down. /p>

When starting your new job you should not:

• Be too quiet or reserved.
• Be too loud or assertive.
• Ask what time you can leave in the evening.
• Sit around doing nothing if you have finished a task.
• Make personal phone calls.
• Book holidays.
• Openly compare this job to your last one.
• Worry too much about making mistakes.

Please remember when starting your new job that:

• We want to make this new move as easy as possible for you and therefore we will help you with any preparation.
• Your manager will also be trying just as hard to create a welcoming and supportive environment.
• When you finished your working day you can contact us and speak to your Recruitment Consultant to let them know how your first day went and raise any issues that you may have.
• It can take time to settle into a new environment and form trusting relationships, however, if you feel apprehensive then again you can speak to your Recruitment Consultant.
