I need advice with my new job?



I just started a new job and I am feeling a little lonely and lost there. Granted I need to give it more time. Any advice on how I can keep my head up high, have a positive attitude, perspective, and focus on the work.

During the first three months of your new job, your new boss will be getting to know you and taking note of your performance. In today鈥檚 marketplace there is no hesitation to terminate a relationship with a worker who isn鈥檛 living up to expectations. Since most companies have a ninety-day probationary period, this is a crucial time for you as a new employee.

GET TO KNOW THE WORK TEAM FIRST
During the first three months, keep a low profile and learn the workplace politics and pecking order. Find a secretary who can explain the chain of command. Listen and learn but don鈥檛 get involved in the politics.

LEARN THE CORPORATE CULTURE
There are lots of rules within a corporate environment, both formal and informal, like forms of address, unofficial dress code, the chain of command, etc. Pay attention to them if you want to fit in and be accepted. Don鈥檛 be embarrassed to ask questions. Ask 鈥渟mart鈥?questions but do not pester your peers with too many of them or you will appear incompetent.

WHAT DOES THE BOSS EXPECT OF YOU?
Make sure you are doing things the way your boss wants them done. Find out what his expectations are. Don鈥檛 guess; ask what he considers important. If necessary make a list of your job duties. Ask your supervisor for confirmation that you are in the right track. Remember there is an expected learning curve, but at the same time you must be demonstrating that you are achieving your goals.

FIND A MENTOR
Top executives often have a mentor 鈥?someone who is several levels higher on the corporate chart. Find someone whose judgment you can trust and who can help you grow in the company.

Follow these tips and plan for the future the moment you start this job. Employment is a marketplace right now. Gone are those days when loyalty and hardwork translates to job security. Stay but be ready to leave your employer anytime. Everything you do and learn on this job is preparation for the next one. Each job will take you up the ladder of success, and your responsibility and earning potential will increase.

Peace and blessings!
