HERE’S A FEW TIPS

FROM IQ ANALYTICS

FOR YOUR FIRST WEEK

IN YOUR NEW JOB:









You need to make sure you’re dressed appropriately for work – it sets a great first impression.

DRESS CODE









Workplaces often have vastly different dress codes. Is it a case of a full suit? Or more smart casual?

DRESS CODE









Make sure you check this with your employer before you start and go shopping if you need to.

DOUBLE CHECKPUNCTUALITY









DOUBLE CHECK and TRIPLE CHECKPUNCTUALITY









DOUBLE CHECK and TRIPLE CHECK the time you need to start work, then arrive earlier to be sure!

PUNCTUALITY










Punctuality is of paramount importance! Not just for the first week or so – make sure you’re consistently punctual.

Check what time you need to be there and ALWAYS allow for any delays that might crop up on your journey, be it traffic or a delay on a train line.

DO YOUR RESEARCHIt’s good to have an idea of what’s happening at your company before you start, that way if someone’s talking about a major development, you can contribute.

Has the company expanded into a new area? Has any major change happened in management? What’s new in the industry?

A quick Google search or a scan through the news can give you plenty of insights so you’re up to speed before you get there.

ASK QUESTIONSEvery single person that’s trained a new employee will say this: they’d rather you ask loads of questions than none at all. If you don’t ask questions, they can’t tell what you do and don’t know.










You may feel embarrassed from asking too many questions – don’t worry! You aren’t the first new person to come through the company and you won’t be the last, questions are normal.

Asking questions is the quickest way to learn! Don’t just blindly walk into a task; find out everything you need to know.









SUPPORT YOUR COLLEAGUESThe old adage of ‘do unto others..’ rings true here – support your colleagues in a way that you want to be supported too!










By going above and beyond to help others you create a great first impression of yourself to the business as someone who really wants to get stuck in.

Even if it’s not your particular skill area or job – keep an eye out for anything you can lend a hand to. The little things go a long way in a working environment – do whatever you can to help.









REMEMBER!









You may feel overwhelmed when you first start your new job. Stay calm – you’ll get used to it and will gradually feel more in control of your workload and responsibilities.










Your boss clearly saw something in you when they offered you the job – so just be yourself. But a professional version of yourself.

You’ve made the first step – welcome to the career ladder!
