Preparing for Success

First and foremost, take a moment to celebrate your achievement - well done!

Once the excitement settles, it's time to get prepared. Here are some key steps to consider when starting your new role:

1. Complete all necessary paperwork efficiently to ensure a seamless onboarding process.
2. Research the company and the industry to familiarise yourself with your new work environment.
3. Plan and practice your commute, ensuring smooth and timely arrivals.
4. Dress to impress. Plan your outfit in advance, aiming for a professional appearance that reflects the company's culture.
5. Prepare any materials you may need. While most companies provide stationery, it doesn't hurt to bring a pen and notepad to demonstrate preparedness.
6. Reach out to your new boss prior to starting. Enquire about their expectations for your first week and ask if there is any specific preparation or research, they would like you to undertake.
7. Take time to rest and relax before your first day, ensuring you arrive fresh and energised.
8. Organise drinks, snacks, and lunch to keep yourself fuelled throughout the day.
9. Try to meet your new team. Be friendly, professional, and take the time to memorise names.
10. Make a great first impression by smiling genuinely, being approachable, and getting to know your colleagues.
11. Take notes to retain important information and demonstrate your attention to detail.
12. Don't hesitate to ask for help when needed. It's better to seek guidance than to struggle alone.
13. Be enthusiastic, positive, and proactive. Show your eagerness to learn and contribute.
14. Familiarise yourself with the company's rules, formalities, working hours, and dress code.
15. Discover the unwritten rules regarding snack times, tea and coffee breaks, and the use of social media or phones during work hours. Never make assumptions.
16. Dive deeper into the business, its teams, and its culture to gain a comprehensive understanding of your new workplace.
17. Discuss expectations with your manager. Set goals, objectives, and milestones to ensure a clear direction for your work.
18. Understand how your performance will be measured and how often you will receive feedback and performance reviews.
19. Seek feedback from your colleagues and superiors. It's an invaluable tool for growth and improvement.
20. Remember that your new team is excited to have you on board. Don't feel nervous; they are eager to help you settle into your new role.
21. Be prepared to introduce yourself frequently. Embrace the opportunity to connect with new colleagues.
22. Above all, enjoy the journey. Starting a new job is about learning and growth. No one expects you to know everything from day one.
