Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Cheers!

[@christmashutchinsonmba7573]

Avoiding gossip is a real thing. I have seen people get caught in the trap of gossip their first week of work.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

I completely agree. It’s so easy to get caught up in that right at the get go but it’s really important to stay clear and focus on productivity and building positive relationships. It will only benefit oneself at the end of the day. Thanks so much for watching, cheers!

[@PracticalInspiration]

Loved this Adriana. It amazes me how many people fail on point 4. I understand it's hard, but working in a professional environment means being able to focus on why you're there and not your other issues.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Absolutely, Happy Facts Lifestyle! If you want a sure-fire recipe for disaster, bring up your personal problems when you first meet someone. It screams bad first impressions! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!

[@PracticalInspiration]

Spot on Adriana, i don't even recommend laying out personal issues on first meeting someone socially, never mind professionally

[@andylacivita]

Enjoyed this Adriana. All of em. Expansion outside the dept is key, but the no gossip was gold. You need to be careful who you associate with and share your time with, but no matter what it’s important not to gossip!!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks, Andrew! Absolutely, always better to be a source of useful, relevant information, not gossip. Cheers!

[@karinakeith7799]

All key tips for making a good first impression at work or anywhere, really! Being punctual is my fav!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

I like that one too, Karina! These fist impression tips never go out of style. Cheers!

[@FabFactorFormula]

Never bring your personal crap to work - so true whether you're working for yourself or someone else. Loved this!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Hi Kylie - Absolutely!! If you want a sure-fire recipe for disaster, bring up your personal problems when you first meet someone. It screams bad first impressions! Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!

[@laurendempsey9644]

Asking for feedback is the best way to improve and show interest! These are great tips!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Lauren, great comment! Feedback is king when starting out at a new job - it shows everyone that you're invested and in it for the long haul. Cheers!

[@suziebujok3810]

Great points! First impressions are so important! Asking for feedback is honest and shows that you are truly interested in doing your best. Love it!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Exactly! And at the same time, it gives you the opportunity to improve your own skills. Who wouldn't want that?! Cheers!

[@kimarjewhite99]

thanks!

[@antwontwontwon2378]

Although these should be common sense tips, lots of people forget and it's back to basics, awesome video!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Glad you think so!

[@JonathanSanchez-im6eh]

Using all of them at my new job starting on Monday. It’s an assistant project manager role but I love all of these video and feel they can be applied. Thank you!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Amazing! Wishing you all the best in your new role😊 check out my free webinar for some added knowledge before you start on Monday. Here is the link www.slayprojectmanagement.com/webinar

[@MikeFarleyDesigns]

Great job! All 6 of the tips are awesome for every day on the job! I also really liked your visual aids!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks, Mike. Appreciate your comments. Do you have any favourite first impression tips? Cheers!

[@PunkRockGuitarTabs]

Sometimes gossip is a great way to make connections, especially with people at work. So I don't necessarily agree with being so against at least listening to others gossip, but definitely don't go overboard or say anything mean spirited. I'm starting a new job soon and if others want to tell me some gossip then I look at that as a great opportunity to get to know the person and earn their trust.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

All the best with your new job and thanks for watching, cheers!

[@coffeepandacat]

Nope, it's toxic and will come back to bite you. If they are willing to say it with you, they are willing to do it to you.

[@PunkRockGuitarTabs]

@@coffeepandacat What is your suggestion then? If you are starting a new job and someone wants to tell you some gossip, should you put your fingers in your ear and run away? My point is, I'll listen to coworkers gossip all day, but I'm not going to start gossip myself. I totally agree with your point in general though. If a coworker is gossiping a bunch about another coworker then I wouldn't trust that person because there's a good chance they will also gossip about you in the future.

[@healthyvoicetips]

Leave your luggage at the door. I like that! It seems very trivial but it makes so much sense if you really want to grow meaningful relationships. Love it!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Hey, Katarina! Thanks for your comment. Bringing your personal luggage when you first meet someone is a sure-fire recipe for disaster. It screams bad first impressions! Cheers!

[@edmyoga]

LOVE these tips to make a great first impression at your new job!! :)

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks, Christina! I'm glad you found the tips useful! Cheers!

[@CliffordStarks1]

Nice tips Adriana 😊👍First impressions are very important and you brought up some key points. I always do my best to listen to others when I first meet them. The more you understand them the more they want to understand you. It creates a great trust factor. I hope you have a blessed day friend 😊👍

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Listening more than talking is so important, Clifford - I totally agree! Sometimes, that's all it takes to show the other person they're important. It goes along way towards the trust factor. Thanks for stopping by...Cheers!

[@jschultzf3]

The “primacy bias” shows that we always heavily overweight our initial impressions, so first impressions at work are critical!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

You bet, James! Making a good first impression will never go out of style! Thanks for stopping by. Cheers!

[@ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Hi there Adriana! Great minds think a like. I'm scripting a video about this topic now. I love to get your take on it.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Professor Heather Austin sure! Perhaps we can tag team on a video?

[@linecey1984]

I had an experience where my coworkers were gossiping all the time. It went on, and on, and on, about a "tech guy who is weird", a former "stupid employee", and another failure this, and my neighbor that... some people thrive on it, and if you don't follow them on this, you WILL be excluded.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

It's sad that people can be like this. I'm sorry that you have found yourself in this kind of situation. My hope is that not everyone is like this. Thanks for watching, cheers!
