Don't Hesitate to Do This to Stay Successful with Your New Job

Starting a new job can indeed be a daunting yet exciting experience. It's like our first day at school, but this time we are in a company that has high hopes for our abilities and performance. The first three months may be the most stressful transition period, as this is our adjustment phase, so it's no wonder that companies usually set this three-month period as a training period. But with these tips, you can definitely face the transition into a new job.

Get to Know and Be Friendly with Your Colleagues

When entering a new work environment, we must be friendly and communicative. Start by greeting colleagues from all divisions; this kind of attitude will usually make you more liked. Did you know that being a well-liked person in the office makes promotions easier to obtain? Don't be shy to greet them, and occasionally buying snacks can also be a strategy to get closer to you and all the employees.

Socialize with New Colleagues Even if Only Occasionally

Occasionally inviting friends to hang out will also make you more known. Hanging out together is one way to socialize and get to know your new colleagues better. Choose a cozy place that is nice for a group hangout. They will surely be impressed with your intention and effort to blend in with new friends.

Get to Know and Be Friendly with the Receptionist

Did you know that the receptionist is one of the most important parts of the company? They can be the image of a company and the best gatekeeper. So, get to know the receptionist well and be friendly to them, because it’s likely that we will need the receptionist's help often. They will help us stop calls from credit card offers or late credit card bills, or perhaps secure our online shopping deliveries that have arrived.

So, why hesitate to be polite and friendly to the receptionist? Because this will never harm your career; in fact, it will unconsciously benefit you.

Update Your Latest LinkedIn Profile

After starting a new job and company, don’t forget to update your LinkedIn profile, as this is one way for us to connect with networks in the new company. Also, let friends from your old company know where you are now, as this is important to keep our network active. As for other social media like Facebook or Instagram, we can update them only occasionally, as we need to maintain our professionalism at work, especially if we hold a significant position in the company; don’t let social media become a place for subordinates to stalk you.

Join a Sports Team at the Office

When we have a fresh body, we tend to be more alert, less stressed, happier, and can do everything better. So try to get back to a regular exercise routine; we can find out where our colleagues usually exercise and join them, or start a sports club for your division. Do this sports activity as a medium to strengthen friendship solidarity among office friends, while also achieving a healthy body so that our work performance improves.

Always Provide Quick and Accurate Positive Feedback

In this modern era, technological advancements indeed require us to respond and complete tasks more quickly. So, remember to always update emails, provide responses, say thank you for every help, and answer important calls related to work. Because this is a way we can show good performance in our responsibilities. This will be very important, especially if we will later apply for a raise and recommendations; of course, the company will review our performance so far. So, start doing this from now on.
