Adjusting to a new job can be a challenging challenge, whether you took up the new job by choice or by necessity. You will soon get to know the new colleagues, the new job and the new working environment. In the meantime, you can follow these tips to make the transition easier.
Steps
Step 1. Visualize a great day
Try to think of all your good and positive qualities. Tell yourself that you will be a happy person in the new environment and it will be a pleasure for everyone to work with you.
Step 2. Arrive on time or slightly early on the first day
Ask first where, when and who you will meet. Ask for confirmation that someone will be waiting for your arrival.
- Obtain and bring with you the phone number of someone who can let you in. Also ask if special procedures should be followed.
- Be courteous and patient with any secretaries and security officers you may encounter. They can connect you with the right people and show you the way.
Step 3. Take care of the administrative aspects
Visit human resources, security, your boss, and any other people you need to see before you get started. Don't be afraid to ask questions if necessary.
- Fill in all the necessary forms and turn them in promptly. Note that insurance, social security and other benefits may need to be submitted within a certain time limit from the time of hiring to be accepted. If you are unsure about the rules, procedures or deadlines, ask.
- Present a document if requested. You may need a copy of your passport, health card or identity card.

- Attend training or orientation courses.
- Read the employee handbook and all other material that you are required to read.
- Ask for business cards if they will be part of your job.
Step 4. Get to know your colleagues
It may be the most important aspect in facilitating your transition to your new job.
- Learn as many names as possible. Introduce yourself and ask simple questions to make conversation. Find out about people's roles and how long they've been with the company to get started.
- Know who to contact. If you have a problem, talk to someone you've met before and ask who to contact to resolve it.

Step 5. Get familiar with your work environment, and customize it if necessary
- If you share a space or tools with other people, learn where to put them and how to use them correctly. You will make a good impression if you keep things tidy and running.
- Organize your workstation according to your style. Do you use the phone frequently? Put it at your fingertips. Are you right? Leave some space to write on that side of the chair. Organize your desk according to the way you work.
- Adjust your chair to be comfortable. Ask for special adjustments if you need them.
- Clean your station, especially if it was occupied by someone else before you. Stay after office hours on the first day if needed. People eat, sneeze, and cough at their desk, and you don't want to start your new job with a sick day.
- Remove the junk, if any are left.
- Pass some moistened paper tissues across the desk. Wipes or a mild spray cleaner will do even better. Don't forget the mouse, mouse pad, keyboard, chair armrests, phone and handles, as these are all frequently handled.
- Gather or request all the tools and items you will need to do your job.
- Organize your station over time. Until you start doing your job you won't know how to title file folders or binders.
Step 6. Get access to your computer, accounts and passwords
The IT department can usually help you with this. Listen to their instructions and advice. Don't forget to ask for help installing the printer if you need it.
Step 7. Learn enough about your answering machine to know how to listen to messages, record the reply message and set a password
In some cases it is necessary to set different internal and external messages.
Step 8. Learn your new job
Depending on your work and previous experiences, it may take weeks or years to master it.
- Ask a lot of questions in the beginning. Everyone will be understanding that you have just started working, and you will show that you are trying to learn quickly.
- Set your goals. Do this in agreement with your supervisor. You might ask what it needs, or it might tell you what needs to be done, or more likely a combination of the two. Your goals will change over time, but starting right away with a specific goal will help you.
- Listen carefully to other people's instructions and advice.
- Take notes. Use a notebook, calendar, or planner to help you keep track of any new information you need to learn. When someone tells you where to go or who to meet, write it down. This will serve as a reminder and show that you are paying attention.
- Repeat the instructions you receive, in your own words. This is a good way to make sure you understand everything that is being said to you, and it will be easier to remember. You can start with "Let me know if I understand correctly. Would you like me to …"
Step 9. Know the building or space you will be working in
Where is the printer? The bathroom? The emergency exit? Canteen? If you have a seedling, study it.
Step 10. Talk to your boss
Even if it wasn't your favorite business, communicating with your boss regularly is a great way to know if you're on the right track. Don't forget that you can ask questions, offer a job status report (verbal or written), and ask for comments and advice.
Step 11. Go ahead and start doing your job
You will understand what to do or learn what to ask if you encounter an obstacle. Instructions and tips can help, but doing is the best way to learn.
Advice
- Don't underestimate the power of being new. Sure, you have a lot of work to do, and you'll need to build a reputation from scratch, but you'll also bring a new perspective and experience from previous companies and jobs. Try to transform these aspects into fresh energies, ideas and initiatives that make you stand out among your new colleagues.
- Also learn about the area around where you work. You won't have to do this on day one, but when you're more comfortable, go home by a different route. Ask your colleagues for recommendations on restaurants and clubs, or explore for yourself. In fact, asking colleagues about the neighborhood is a great way to start a conversation and make new friends.
- Feeling nervous on the first day of work is normal, but don't let tension dominate you. If you make a mistake, say you are nervous and try again. Most people will understand.
- Customize your workplace a bit, if that's appropriate. A well-chosen accessory can make your new office more familiar and will serve as an icebreaker with new colleagues.
