WHEN STARTING A NEW JOB, YOU MAY BE SURPRISED TO FIND THAT YOUR NEW EMPLOYER IS NOT AS… PREPARED AS YOU MIGHT LIKE
The truth is most companies spend a great deal of time and energy recruiting and even convincing a candidate to join them, and very little time and energy preparing them to succeed once they walk through the door.
In short: your new employer’s expectations of you are high even if the level of support they provide is not. WHAT YOU DO IN THE FIRST FEW DAYS IMPACTS WHETHER YOU ARE LOST, MERELY SURVIVE OR THRIVE IN YOUR NEW JOB!
In order to get ahead of the learning curve and become more productive more quickly, you need to look at your new job from your employer’s perspective, so you can prepare to go above and beyond their expectations.
Recently I came across a company that organizes webinars for new employees: it is called Novita and it is based in Chicago. I think the webinars they organize may be especially useful for foreigners because they definitely need to know how to adjust to an American employer.
Here is what their regular 60-minute webinar covers:
The ideal new employee: what every employer wants and expects
Why companies so poorly “onboard” a new employee
Getting ahead of the new employee learning curve
Questions you need your manager to answer, and what not to ask
Your job begins now – preparing for the first day
Before the weeks fly by – objectives for your first month
Top 10 resources to search out (you’ll need them!)
Befriend these people! (the keepers of information)
How to integrate, and then innovate
