Congrats, kitten! After searching, applying, and interviewing you've finally landed your dream job!!!
Even if the job isn't exactly your dream, you're still employed. So you'll be making money to pay the bills- a dream in its own right. Life gives you lemons, y'all.
So after you've landed the job, what now? Here's my list of your next few steps:
Clear your schedule and map out necessary conflicts.
You want to make sure you can be free at the drop of the hat for additional shifts, training and meetings with bosses and co-workers. Granted, there are events that cannot be changed (close family/friend weddings, ticketed vacations/events) but try to prioritize and make sure your schedule is wide open, waiting for opportunities! Key takeaway here: if your boss asks you anything, you don't want to say no.
Adjust your attitude to the company's culture.
Is your new workplace the type of place where people stick to their own cubicles? Or where people are interacting with each other, high-fiving and playing music? Ask questions and feel out the vibe. Adjust accordingly.
Adjust your wardrobe as well.
Check out what people are wearing and get ideas for what to look for when you're shopping. Don't lose your individuality but dress in a way that makes you happy and meets the office guidelines.
ASK QUESTIONS!
Talk to your boss, manager, coworkers- everyone! You'll make mistakes and learn new things everyday, but the only way you'll improve is by taking the first step and attempting to learn. You might think you're bugging people (I feel that feel) but in reality, the people you ask will at least appreciate your enthusiasm and initiative~
Have a great attitude at all times, and mind your manners!
Walk in with a smile, leave with a smile. Say please and thank you. Express gratitude for anyone who helps you with this transition. A positive attitude is contagious, so be the one who brings it to the office!
Being new to an office can be scary and intimidating, but don't worry! Soon your days of being a newbie will be far behind you!
