Quick Tips
Dos & Don'ts to advance your job search
  • Review your job description carefully.
  • Clarify with your manager what is expected of you.
  • Determine goals and timelines.
  • Don't assume you already know everything.
  • Be patient and persistent - you can't learn or do everything at once.
  • Don't be afraid to ask questions or request help
    or clarification.
  • Continue to communicate with your boss regarding your role and responsibilities, checking in frequently to make sure you're on track.
 
Know what's expected of you
Work with your manager to establish a clear set of objectives for your new role. What does success look like for your job, and how is it measured? Track your accomplishments and schedule regular checkpoints, both formal and informal, to review your progress. Ask people questions to develop your organizational savvy and better understand how things get done. Familiarize yourself with company priorities, and learn how your work fits into the greater scheme of the organization. It takes time to make an impact and influence change, but if you can clearly define and measure your successes, you're well on your way.
 
My Coaching
Get an edge over the competition
Some of what you'll need to know to perform your job will be learned during your initial training. Your training may be formal or informal, and may last from a few days, to a few weeks. You might find yourself attending seminars, shadowing colleagues, working one-to-one with managers, reading documentation, learning new systems and processes, and other such activities. Learning the ins and outs of your new role will likely take practice and repeated exposure before you become adequately comfortable and confident. At the training stage, be sure to ask questions and seek help as necessary. This will help clarify uncertainties while giving you the opportunity to engage with key colleagues and subject matter experts.
