If you think that getting selected for a job after completing studies makes you ready for a successful launch in the corporate world or can have smooth start of job, you need to rethink.
Because there will be a completely different kind of work world, waiting for you than what you would have perceived. So as a competitive HR Consultancy in Surat, Kaapro Management Solutions Pvt. Ltd. has listed 3 things to help a newbie have a smooth start of job.
1. Know what professionalism is:
Here’s how to create a strong professional impression from day one at your job.
- Build healthy rapport with everyone in the organization by greeting everyone and not just your boss.
- ‘Mind your own business’ is the thumb rule, unless your job includes ‘supervision’.
- Talk less, listen more and never interrupt in between while someone is speaking. Let the one who’s talking finish first and then present your point.
- Refrain from arguing with your mentor or colleagues and never indulge into fault-finding. Always wait for the right moment to put forward your views.
- Ask, but don’t assume: In case of query or dilemma, take help from an old hand in the organization. Don’t work with presumption or pre-conceived notions about anything or anyone.
- Remember every office task is an opportunity to learn, grow and represent yourself in a positive frame. So never undervalue any task assigned to you.
- However, learn the art of saying “NO” without being too aggressive. If the task assigned to you is not within your scope of work, gently say “NO”, so that no one takes you for granted.
2. Be prepared for the Job:
In this age of ‘easy availability of information’ every employer expects a new employee to have some basic background knowledge of the company.
- So get a fair idea about the company’s offerings (products & services), functioning of organization, work culture, vision-mission, management from various sources (i.e. company’s website, leaflets, press releases, annual reports, company’s newsletter) and if possible also be aware of the employer’s main competitors and their background.
- Read the Job description thoroughly and recall the points discussed during your interview to get a clear understanding of what is expected from you.
3. Traits to be self-disciplined:
As a Savvy and wise new hire you need to pick up on the acceptable behaviours in the corporate.
- First and foremost is to showcase good Time management skills right from the first day (i.e. reaching office on time and not leaving the office until the office hours end, being responsible about meeting the deadlines).
- Understand the dress code followed by the employer and dress as per your position.
- Keep in mind that you will be expected to be honest and reliable at work.
Wish you a great smooth start of your new job!
