Landing a new job is exciting, but the probation period can feel like a high-stakes audition. It\u2019s your chance to prove that you\u2019re not just the right choice but an invaluable asset to your new employer. Here\u2019s how to make an impact and impress your new boss.<\/p>\n

Arrive appropriately dressed<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Looking smartly dressed when you arrive is important to making a good first impression. Before your first day, assess what other staff members wear to work. Some companies are slightly more relaxed regarding dress code, whereas others are far more corporate. Remember, you can never look too smart, particularly on your first day. Make sure your clothes are clean and neatly ironed. Ensure you allow enough time to get ready by setting your alarm earlier than usual.<\/p>\n

First impressions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

First impressions count, particularly during your probationary period. Make an effort with your colleagues and manager by ensuring you introduce yourself, ask them questions and pay attention to what they say.<\/p>\n

Keep your desk tidy and clean up after yourself! You do not want to be the member of staff that everyone just thinks is scruffy. By keeping a tidy desk, you will demonstrate that you are an organised individual.<\/p>\n

Think before you speak<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When you start your new job, it\u2019s important to take notes during training sessions. This will make the learning process much simpler as you can easily refer to your notes if you are unsure of anything. If you encounter an issue, try to work out a solution before asking a colleague \u2013 you may even discover a simpler way of completing a task.<\/p>\n

Do try to avoid office politics. In this same vein, never say anything that could potentially hurt and offend others. Your general opinion of a current affair or news article could cause more harm than good, and this is something you want to avoid whilst in your probationary period. Keep any strong opinions to yourself and keep that all-important office equilibrium.<\/p>\n

Be sensible<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Timekeeping is extremely important. Allow yourself plenty of time to get to work. This way you can settle at your desk with a coffee and complete basic admin and your emails before the working day commences. You\u2019ll be ahead of the game, making the rest of your day that little bit easier.<\/p>\n

Can do attitude<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Enthusiasm is key when starting a new job. Keep a clear head and make sure you are ready to take on the day with enthusiasm. If you are on top of your workload, do not be scared to ask your bosses if they require any additional help. Even if they do not, they will certainly appreciate that you are keen to help and to broaden your knowledge within the company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
