It is very crucial to understand the importance of getting the right foot on the new job right from day one. It is true that the first impressions last for a longer period. Performance of the candidate in his new job makes a greater impact on both the employer and the employee.
The fundamental guidelines for achieving success in the new job: Hard work pays greater dividends. There is no substitute or short cut for achieving success in new jobs. The one and only requisite is to slog your way up in the ladder of success.
Never stick to the 9 ? 5 time slot of work. Being punctual will give an impression of a good discipline. It is always good to arrive a little early to the work place, as this will help settle down before starting the day's work. This also shows the interest of the employee.
It is also good to show interest in the job. If not understood properly you can ask for information or guidance from the collegues or from the boss himself for succeeding in the new job. Keeping the work place clean will show how organized you are.
This can be done by staying a little while after work hours. You can list down the actions to be carried next day, without the fear of forgetting things. Success in the new job is not achieved just in a day or months, but it will start working towards success from the day one. A successful person in his job does not indulge himself in the politics of the office, or gossip. Observation and listening to others are very important in learning the job properly and effectively. These skills are seen in successful people in their jobs.
It is always good to respect the hierarchy or chain of command; everyone has to report to some one other than him. Rebels do not survive in the longer run. The organization's mission, objectives and goals need to be known to the employee to work on the lines of the objectives of the company. Adaptation to the new job is very important.
Otherwise you will be the odd man out there. The dress code should be followed according to the rules and regulations of the company. Also it is good to find out how the business is done, if it is the formal way or the informal and way to follow accordingly. With a little bit of common sense and the urge to succeed, by following the above guidelines one can easily achieve success in the new job.
