Quick Tips |
| Dos & Don'ts to advance your job search |
| You'll likely have some kind of planned orientation session the day you arrive. In fact, your formal orientation and training may last anywhere from one day to a few weeks. However, you may arrive and find they've all but forgotten about you. You don't have a desk, a chair, a phone, a computer. There's no one to show you around, and you wonder if you're in the right place! If they're not quite ready to receive you on your first scheduled day, keep your cool. Be proactive and productive, even if this means just walking around the office and introducing yourself to your new colleagues. |

Congratulations on making it to your first day. Now the real work begins! Use the Starting Your New Job Checklist to help you get everything in order before arriving for your first day on the job. Make sure you're well rested and well prepared - not to mention on time! On time means you should arrive about ten minutes early. You'll likely be spending much of the day meeting and greeting your colleagues, so make an effort to be both engaged and engaging. Start building rapport by being open and friendly with everyone. After all, you never know when or how you might have to work with any of them. You can put others at ease by being personable, and you'll find people will be more helpful and responsive if you're consistently polite.
Being both engaged and engaging will demonstrate that you're interested in your work, as well as in those you work with. Establishing positive communication habits early on will help you effectively interact with others going forward.

My Coaching

| Get an edge over the competition |
| Clothes don't make the person, but they can make a difference. Determine the dress code for your new place of work prior to your start date. Try to dress in the same fashion genre as your colleagues, so you're not too far off the mark on the formal - casual continuum. Your first day should be a little "dressier" than usual, as you'll be meeting many people that day and first impressions count. Your tour around the office will also give you an opportunity to see how your colleagues generally dress for work. |
