Starting a New Job? Here's a 90-Day Plan from Harvard

[@JeffSu]

I would never call my lovely colleagues losers 😇 TIMESTAMPS 00:00 What does “success” look like for new hires? 00:40 Common onboarding mistakes for new hires 01:02 How to create a virtuous cycle ASAP 01:26 Understand your blindspots 03:42 Accelerate your learning systematically 05:11 Negotiate success with your boss 06:19 Secure early wins with colleagues 07:41 Summary of the First 90 Days

[@funnytv-1631]

Long-lasting change occurs through small steps, repeated regularly, over time. Look no further than your next habit and remember to congratulate yourself every time. You are unique in all the world. Never forget that.

[@JeffSu]

100% agreed! Just like what James Clear preaches in his book Atomic Habits!

[@3t3rnalstudent]

Only one company I've worked at new how to train employees well. They were from all walks of life and every age group. I mean Every age group. It's a secret I'm not sharing either bc no one believes me when I tell them, so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯.. pphhffttt! Lol. What you said is one of the main and biggest parts of it. At least you would probably understand. 🤍☺️

[@nareshkumarhk]

Had read this book early last year.. it was an eye opener as I was overhauling the onboarding exp for a new joiner in my last org. This help me in getting the define and measure the success for a new joiner. Loved this book.

[@JeffSu]

Love to hear how you applied the concepts from this book! I'm sure that new joiner onboarded successfully 😁

[@khado9793]

The book overwhelmed me with details, but this video explained everything clearly and to the point. It's perfect timing too, since I'm starting my first full-time job in two months, and this video will definitely help me feel more prepared! Thanks Jeff!

[@JeffSu]

Glad to hear it and best of luck in the new job!!

[@blupulse1638]

I just started my first full time job last month, perfect timing!

[@JeffSu]

Did some of the concepts here resonate with you?

[@3t3rnalstudent]

This is excellent. Usually books only talk to the leaders or trainers of the company (and not very well). This one actually talks to the employee so they can feel like they have some control in the situation. I'm hoping he has a book similar to this for the leaders and trainers that is like THIS bc the world is lacking those kinds of books (with actionable and straightforward processes).

[@JeffSu]

Agreed!! 😁

[@andrea_dong]

This is really great stuff, Jeff! I'm glad you're covering this topic :) One of my struggles when I first joined was feeling the urge to be productive as soon as possible. One thing I've come to accept is that sometimes being productive doesn't necessarily mean you have to produce something tangible. I guess this is where negotiating your success with your manager comes into play! :p

[@JeffSu]

Yup exactly Andrea! You graduated this year right??

[@andrea_dong]

I graduated last December actually! Started my first full time this year :p time sure flies

[@JeffSu]

@@andrea_dong Wowwwwwww. What industry did you end up in??

[@andrea_dong]

I'm in the banking industry! I do fraud prevention and a little bit of cybersecurity :> wasn't the career I originally envisioned for myself tbh but so far I'm finding it really interesting 😆

[@JeffSu]

@@andrea_dong niceeeee! So glad you found something that's so interesting Andrea!

[@NikiKatsakoglou]

It was everything I needed to hear exactly one day before my first day on my new job !!!Thanks for that video

[@JeffSu]

Woohoo best of luck my friend 😁

[@jerry716]

Thank you Jeff, your content never disappoints and always straight to the point with no fluff. Love it and keep up the great work.

[@JeffSu]

Anytime Jerry!! Glad you enjoyed this 😁

[@MatthewEaton]

This, along with Disciplined Listening Method, helped me with my current employer and I will have to dip into it again with my recruitment chat coming up this week. Thanks for the reminder and I can't recommend this book highly enough. It is one of the few I would stress everyone reads every year to refresh if possible!

[@JeffSu]

I wish I came across this book sooner Matthew!

[@beiyulu6268]

Shared this with my new colleague!! Thanks Jeff! 😊

[@JeffSu]

What did your colleague say Beiyu? 😁

[@brunofonseca4578]

Excellent video! I use these tips in Amplenote. I'm actually going through a career transition, from the music field to technology. In Amplenote, I can easily capture ideas, tips, thoughts, suggestions, things to read or do in the Jots session. As for the idea of ranking things to be resolved, I define it in the notes session, when an idea or thing to be resolved takes shape. I better refine my thoughts and actions, with the third session, the tasks. We can even connect tasks with note links. All action reviews are carried out in the calendar session, where I can configure them in different ways. This 90-day action plan will be much easier with Amplenote.

[@JeffSu]

Thanks for sharing!

[@yuchenliu7128]

gonna start a new job next month and this helps a lot!!! Thanks Jeff!

[@JeffSu]

Woohooo best of luck!!!! Let me know how it goes 😁

Extremely helpful book, had read it and still using the insightful frameworks provided by D Watkins!

Wow I didn't know this book was so popular!

You're very welcome Luis 😁

[@flickafy]

Hi Jeff, great video, as usual. 😊 Belatedly realising its a new one! I'm at this point as about to move onto a new project. However, would also be interested in the "Jeff Su" take on how to successfully handover my part of the project that is continuing on, but particularly when there is no direct replacement (in short: big project team reducing to a core group that I will no longer be part of) Have applied your other trips (eg email etiquette and sheet labelling) when i started this role, so definitely valuing your input on going out with a bang.

[@JeffSu]

Prepare a transition document and assume the person who will (eventually) take over have 0 context 😁

[@abqyardbird]

Just bought it, looking forward to it's arrival in July.

[@JeffSu]

Let me know what you think!

[@abqyardbird]

​@JeffSu - Great book! In spite of being in the workforce >30 years I appreciate the review, recap, examples, and deep dive (including templates) the book offers. I am starting a new job in 2 weeks so the timing is perfect! I am starting my 2nd sweep on top of my multiple scribbles and notes already in place. Bravo! What's next?

[@JeffSu]

@@abqyardbird Congrats on the new job my friend!!

[@MaheshJoshi_wellington]

Awesome video thank you I just got an offer for new job will Be starting in 1 month this will definitely help me 🙏🏻😊

[@JeffSu]

Congrats and best of luck with the onboarding!

[@angelayang5581]

This was so helpful and informative to watch! Such amazing content. Just wondering, if I am involved in multiple projects happening at the same time, what productivity tool or process is best to keep on top of the workload? I used to jot them down in a to do list but it’s starting to get complicated

[@JeffSu]

The tools matter less than the system you create. I use checklists and databases in Notion 😁

[@abdullahmansuri12]

Hi Jeff, I have been following your channel for the past three years, and I wanted to thank you for all the golden tips and practical advice you have shared!😃 I found the recent chatGPT prompts video to be incredibly valuable and something I can immediately implement. You're one of the few content creators making videos that are genuinely valuable to everyone. Hope you have an amazing day, and please continue making these videos!!!

[@JeffSu]

Wow 3 years?? That's awesome to hear and I'm so happy you stuck with me my friend! Thanks so much for the kind words and yes, ChatGPT is amazing 😁

[@FIFII]

[@JeffSu]

LinkedIn is definitely powerful (if used correctly)

[@danH_1999]

Good video. I'd improve it by seeing if you can get the professor on, or at the very least a text, video, or audio recording response. Beyond that, just slow down. Great energy and involvement, but I think a little slower is better for consumption and comprehension.

[@JeffSu]

Great feedback, thank you Daniel!

[@3t3rnalstudent]

Agree Daniel 💕. Hearing the professor's perspective would be amazing! And Jeff is so awesome. I can't wait to read this book!

[@3t3rnalstudent]

Also, I've shared several of his videos with my colleagues and they say they really like him (charming, funny and smart tips!) however it'd be nice if he slowed down a little and that he always seems rushed. Maybe he really is, he has a full time job and other things going on. 🤍

[@rishabhkrm]

PLEASE reply jeff su New MacBook Air M2 15 user, still getting used to macOS. Watching your videos to learn macOS efficiently. Need help with middle click function on macOS. Middle click crucial for tasks like closing tabs and apps while browsing. Explored online but no effective solution found yet. Confusing suggestions due to different macOS versions. Seeking permanent solution for this basic issue. Specifically want three-finger tap on trackpad to work as middle click. Question: Could you guide me on setting up a three-finger tap for middle click on my MacBook Air M2 15? Your help would be incredibly valuable! Thanks so much!

[@JeffSu]

I think there's an app: Mac mouse fix

[@rishabhkrm]

Hey Jeff, thanks for getting back to me. So, I went ahead and installed the app and gave it a spin. But here's the thing, it seems to work like a charm with an external mouse - you know, those extra buttons and customizable options. But honestly, I'm all about the MacBook trackpad, it's just way more comfortable for me. Now, here's the kicker - can I somehow set up a middle-click function with a three-finger tap? I'm no tech whiz, so I'm hoping you can lend me a hand here. hoping for a reply, thanks! @JeffSu

[@JeffSu]

@@rishabhkrm there might be a third party trackpad app too! Sorry I can’t be of more assistance!
