HOW CAN ONE SUCCESSFULLY ADOPT TO A NEW JOB? ANY IDEAS?

Can you remember the first time you were offered your dream job? How ecstatic were you to be there on the first day? When you got to work what was the first action you took? Well my first day was like I was in a lion’s den and was going to be swallowed by the strange experienced faces looking at me. I started asking myself, can I last here for more than 2 hours?

That is how it always is, but preparation and planning helps to kill fright and you find yourself lasting more than you expected on that job. Below are things that can help you succeed in a new job.

1. BE PROFESSIONAL, ON TIME, AND EFFICIENT

 It has always been advised that during your first time at work, you should always be punctual no matter what, keep your conversations professional, and address coworkers respectfully. It is also advised to stay till the end of work, so that you can get to know your fellow employees who work late, and also get some information you need to get. This helps to show how serious and keen you are at your new job.

2. CREATE A COURSE OF ACTION FOR YOUR FIRST 90 DAYS

Jumping into a new job, with an unfamiliar work flow and work pace, is one of the biggest hurdles facing new employees. To be able to control those hurdles, you should work with your manager to create a schedule for the first 90 days. It should include what you plan to accomplish within those 90 days.

3. INTERACT WITH YOUR COWORKERS
At your new job, try as much as possible not to stick to yourself. This will help you to get used to the work flow faster and also keep you on friendly terms with your coworkers. You will be able to find out what they are working on and their areas of expertise, this will help you to have a better understanding of the company's needs.
