Quick Tips
Dos & Don'ts to advance your job search
  • Don't interrupt or talk over someone else.
  • Don't be preoccupied with what you're going to say while someone else is speaking.
  • Don't be intimidated by silence or feel the need to fill conversation gaps.
  • Demonstrate genuine interest by maintaining
    eye contact.
  • Observe body language and facial expressions.
  • Paraphrase the message to show that you understood the point of what was said.
 
Listen and learn
While you may love to talk, learn to listen if you want to communicate effectively. Chances are, some of your new colleagues will do a great deal of talking during your onboarding. Open your ears and really listen to what they're saying. You'll learn about your new role, your new workplace, and your new colleagues. Assuming that the communication is not driven by gossip, you can get real insight into the company, and identify the right people with whom to collaborate. By focusing on listening, you'll also be better poised to ask relevant questions and seek clarity when needed.
 
My Coaching
Get an edge over the competition
You have a lot to learn in your new job. In fact, you'll likely be learning all throughout your employment. You may feel particularly inundated with information at the beginning, but don't let this overwhelm you. You won't be expected to remember everything all at once. Listen carefully, take notes and ask questions to seek clarity. Only by listening and asking questions will you learn what you need to know to be successful in your new job.
