Starting a new job - the FIRST DAY of work (5 PRO TIPS for starting a new job on the right foot)

[@titusrichardson9957]

I am scared but I know thats because I'm starting a new chapter in my life and am trying to be a better person everyday and that I got this.

[@risrcareers]

All the best, brother - you got this!

It's been a year, curious how it's going😊

[@empresszaire2305]

Follow up!!!!!

[@jiny7984]

On first day: 1) When nervous armour yourself with information. 2) Plan & Prepare. 3) Refresh your understanding of your new role. 4) Refresh what the company is about. 5) Practice how you're going to introduce yourself. 6) Be curious. Eg., Ask why is it done that way. 7) You're in control of your own personal brand. 8) Write everything down. (Names of people, Questions, ideas, important information, actions etc). 9) Make a glossary of the terms used in your division of work and use these terms wherever possible. Using them will demonstrate your level of knowledge and connecting with people in a deeper way.

Hope it went well Trent!

[@jazzman9469]

In the first 10 minutes of meeting your new team, the fear is being judged by them right off the bat. They are looking to see how nervous you are. If you go in with confidence, then you are one step ahead of your team. I had this fear, but my team (direct reports) was small, 8 people. So I thought one ice-breaker was to bring in a dozen donuts. Food always puts people as ease and for that moment, they are not judging you per say, but, seeing a manager who wants to succeed.

[@karsonwarren9171]

great video, deserves way more views! just finished my first week at a full-time office job! while its remote for now, its key to take notes, ask questions to understand, be friendly and smile on video :) first day hurt my head with information overload, but once you start understanding things it makes for a much more enjoyable day

I love how practical and specified your tips are. Thank you for the time and efforts. Wondering if you could articulate a bit more on how you structure your notepad?

[@risrcareers]

Thanks Haasan - glad you’re getting value from it. With regards to my notebook, I keep it simple with no particular structure - just one note after the other (making sure I always note the date and who I was talking with etc). The symbols I add are there so I can find the info I’m looking for. The glossary I start from the back page so that all of that info is together. The inside front cover I always put the names of important people so I don’t forget them, and the inside back cover for other important info like my employee ID, etc. That’s just what I do though, and I suggest you eventually find your own way that works well for you. Hope that helps!

Congrats on the new role. Due to the nature of your role, which I assume is going to be quite process driven, I’m hoping you can find an opportunity to improve a process (or even a small part of a process) during your first few months. You’ve already proven that you are keen to learn, so my biggest tip is to keep that energy up, and most of all - REMEMBER TO HAVE FUN!

Just subscribed. Last Monday, gave 1-week notice to job I had been at for 13.5+ years. First day is tomorrow though I haven't allowed myself enough time to think about things, so not feeling the normal anxiety. Is entry level position but will be making 75 cents/hour more than previous job because promotion 2 years ago (from customer service to running a department) was apparently a "lateral" move. People my age are usually counting days till retirement however, I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I'll let you know what tips were helpful in my instance.

New job but also moving to a whole new country for it. My first ever job. Fear of the unknown for sure! A question about taking notes: I imagine it might be strange/possibly rude to make notes in the middle of a conversation? Of course the names of people can be noted down afterwards, but for example during training - would you take notes as someone is talking to you or would you make notes after they're finished?

[@risrcareers]

Congratulations! In a work situation, it is perfectly normal to take notes in the middle of a conversation. If you’re having a casual chat then it might be a little out of the ordinary if you are furiously taking notes, but in a meeting it’s very normal. If you’re ever in doubt, then just ask (e.g. “I hope you don’t mind if I take some notes while we talk? I just don’t want to miss anything”). I hope that helps, and all the best!

[@metasamsara]

I'm going to start a new job and I won't get to take notes there. I have usually troubles learning a lot of new information. How would you adapt this without notes?

[@risrcareers]

Congratulations on the new role! From what you’ve said I assume it’s some sort of service or line role where you will be hands on doing the work? There are several ways to improve your memory generally and master recall of specific facts, and many of them take some time to master, which I guess you don’t have. In the meantime, here are 3 ways which might help you: 1) Does your new company have standard operating procedures that you could review? If not, move onto the other tips (and consider creating some procedures for yourself and others to follow) 2) When shown new tasks, make sure you are really concentrating on what’s being shown to you. A great way to do this is to ask lots of questions as you go. You’ll remember more. 3) After someone has shown you something, try to summarise it back to them. They will help you fill in any gaps, but again, you’ll find you also remember a lot more. At the end of the day, try to recall these things again, as well as first thing the following morning, and again the next day. This will embed those learnings into your memory. Hope that helps. Also bear in mind - most of us have crappy memories 😀 Good luck!

After 12 years on my job and on my comfort zone. I am starting a new job as an HR manager tomorrow and I am nervous.

[@risrcareers]

Hey congratulations! Did you know that the feeling of nervousness feels very similar to the feeling of excitement? It’s probable that you are feeling a bit nervous and a bit excited but experiencing it all as nervousness. When you start to get those butterflies, tell yourself that you are not nervous but that you are excited, and it’s likely that this may help. And remember that most of the remaking nerves are from fear of the unknown. The reality is that the first few weeks - even months - are very forgiving. You won’t be expected to know everything. Enjoy the new challenge - I’m really excited for you!

[@rosemadder5547]

Starting my EMT career tomorrow and am nervous for so so many reasons lol Just one: I get nervous having to drive with people judging my driving 😂 And that’s like 90% of the career 😅 Honestly I feel like It’s been such a long and difficult process accomplishing this, now that it’s finally here I’m more ready to begin than I am nervous.

[@risrcareers]

Congrats and all the best 👏!!! Sounds like you’re psyching yourself out a bit on the driving front 😂. Interesting fact for you to consider: When we feel excited or nervous, our body and mind react in similar ways, which can make it hard to tell which one we are actually feeling. So some of your nervousness might just be excitement that you’re misinterpreting 😉
