Making a good impression

When starting a new job make a good impression
Many companies will support you to complete your initial onboarding prior to
your first day.
Use the below as a checklist for your first day:

✓ Dress professionally.
✓ Introduce yourself and develop relationships and make associations to
try remembering the names of your colleagues.
✓ Take notes about important information and ask questions.
HELPFUL TIPS

In the first three months make sure you focus on the following:

• Getting to know and understand the culture.
• Observe how things are done and how people work together.
• Align your own expectations with the expectations of your manager.
• Understand the business results expected and how it will be measured.
• Focus on projects that you can deliver in the short to medium term with
high impact.
• Build your relationships and establish your credibility and value to the
organisation as soon as possible.
