The sudden change can be overwhelming when you resume a new job. Trying to make a solid first impression and adjusting to the environment while taking note of the dos and don’ts is no easy task. So amidst the duties assigned and the social juggle, there are certain things you will need to learn your first week on the job.

Tanida Mullen, a young professional career advisor and a LinkedIn Influencer, highlighted the following tips that could guide you settle in quickly.

Expectations

It is very important to have a target, and work towards achieving it early in the job. This will save you a lot of time. We get a little carried away with the excitement that follows but it is wise to find out what you are expected to achieve. “The first week at your new job are an ideal time to sit down with your boss and ask what his/her expectations are,” Tanida explained.

Co-workers

When you are new, do not wait on your colleagues to make the first move. Make out time each day to converse with one from your department as the outcome may surprise you. Contrary to what you may think, “The reality is that when you’re the new person on job, its best that you make the first move when it comes to meeting your new co-workers,” Tanisa notes.

The organizational chart

How do you manage to stay in the loop in the first week of your job? It’s simple “head over to HR and grab a copy of your company’s organizational chart,” Tanida advices. That way you don’t make any mistakes about who you’re superiors are without realizing it.

Policies and Procedures

We are all guilty of overlooking the P&P of the company. It may not exactly have been written just weeks before, but that doesn’t make it any less a rule. Tanida says you should “Grab those P&Ps along with a fresh cup of coffee and get to work. How else would you know that tipping is not a part of your travel per diem?”

Company culture

General meetings on Wednesdays, casual Fridays, the annual retreat, all of these constitute the company’s culture. “Take some time during the first week at your new job to check underneath the hood of your new employer’s business.” That way you will gradually fit in by being aware of this new environment.
