First impression is undoubtedly the last impression; whether
it is for your love life, your interview or your first day at work. You keep
brooding about ways to impress the co-workers and the employer during the first
few weeks of your new job. The anxiety and nervousness you feel at the
interview do not end just with the interview selection; it does continue to the
first day, in fact, the first month, of your new job.
If you are also stuck in the same situation then you have
landed on the right place. Below we have discussed 5 effective tips to help you
cast a lasting impression in the initial phase of your new job.
Appreciate The
Opportunity
Ground-rule for a new job: ‘Never take anything or anyone
for granted’. Appreciate the fact that you got the opportunity to work in the
organization. Make it obvious to your employer that you are happy you got the
job. Let them know that you are enjoying this new position and are willing to
go the extra mile for this opportunity.
Sending a thank you email to your boss after a month of job
completion never goes out of class and would definitely impress him or her.
Know Your
Co-Workers
Break the ice between you and the co-workers by indulging in
small talks during lunch time or snack breaks. Use the 70-30 rule for this. 70%
of the conversation that you have should be more focused on knowing about the
company and its working; i.e., let them talk first. The rest 30% can be about
you and your previous work profile etc.
Impress them with your talks and attitude (don’t overdo it!)
and who knows, they may be instrumental in your career growth in this
organization.
Show Some Extra
Efforts
Extra efforts never go unnoticed. Whether it is the extra
hours that you decide to work, the add-on assignment that you take or just the
help that you offer in various sphere, this extra effort in the initial phase
would work wonders in the coming time. Employers are always impressed with a
person who takes initiative and does not go by the clock.
Working those extra hours or taking up those extra
assignments would show how dedicated and eager you are to learn new things.
Be Professional
And Look The Same
Don’t enter into the office space wearing those casual
sweatshirts or hoodies. It’s your new job, learn to be professional and dress
accordingly. Remember, the way you dress up says a lot about your attitude to
work. Another aspect of being professional is your punctuality. Be there on
time at least for the first month to cast a good impression on your employer.
Once you have got inside the office, know what type of
clothing people usually adorn and make changes in your personality accordingly.
Don’t Hesitate To
Ask Question
Dave Smith of TekScape says that a new employee who comes
with a number of questions asking about the job profile, the organization and
its working culture, always impresses the employer. Your questions and
inquisitive nature show that you are putting efforts into understanding the job
and are interested in the organization.
You need to gain as much information as you can about the
organization; and the best way to do is to ask questions.
Getting a new job brings a mixed feeling of nervousness and
excitement. But, you need to keep those emotions aside and work on making
healthy relations with the people around you so that you enjoy your work period
at this company. Use these tips and enjoy working at your new job
