Now is the time to shine at your new job, and how do you do that? Well, Graduatewise.com can help you with some sound tips to rock your first day and come out as the shining star. Graduatewise.com is an excellent job marketplace. It not only helps candidates connect with the best employers for their field, but also guides them to prepare for the interview, the internship, and everything related to their career. So let’s take a look at how you can do your best on your first day at your job.
Stay Curious:
The more you ask and absorb about your new workplace, the better you’ll be able to gel, not just with the colleagues, but with the culture and environment as well. It also shows your desire and interest in the company, which is a good sign. But make sure you understand the difference between staying curious and getting nosey.
Smile:
Not like, all the time, but at least when you are being introduced to the people. No matter how anxious you are, trust that a smile will only make things better for you. So keep on a positive note because your first impression will tell a lot about yourself.
Don’t report in Late:
You won’t look good coming in late on your first day, no matter where you got stuck. So pay attention to the timings, reach at least 15 mins earlier at the venue. That would make you look a sincere intern, and not a desperate one.
Stay Professional:
Understand that your new office isn’t a new friend group where you can behave as you like. Your misconduct will be pointed out. Behave responsible and professionally while meeting with anyone that comes your way. Show them that you may be new on the floor, but you definitely are aware of the etiquette.
Understand the Protocol:
Every company has them, and you as a new candidate has a duty to recognize them well. They will help smoothen your path, and you will likely make fewer mistakes. So instead of thinking of those induction sessions as boring and time-consuming, pay attention, so you won’t be pointed out for a misconduct or negligence during your training period. (Trust that it really doesn’t look good.)
Be friendly and interactive:
You don’t want to come out as a reserved and shy type. It's understandable of a new place but this is when you can know who’s who of the company. Befriending at least one of team members’ will help you in the long run. Don’t be shy, and say a Hi to all those whom you meet with.
Manage your Mobile phone:
One of the most important of the work rules is keeping your phone on vibration or silent while in office. No one will like it if you phone keeps chiming at all times. People not expect you to be responsible with your habits.
Well, it's your new job, so you have got to be pretty careful of your overall conduct. You will meet with new people, learn new things, and of course would share your knowledge as well. People will create notions about you so staying positive and leaving the work at the end of the day smiling will create better path in the coming days.
