How do you make the best first impression on both your boss and future colleagues in the first days of your new job? Punctuality and presentation are certainly good areas to start with. But beyond that i's a challenge that requires more attention than ever before. §2. According to recent surveys, one of the most important tasks for today's recruits is ensuring that you don't appear over-confident. Positions of responsibility held at university do not qualify you to miss out the bottom rungs (cmynensxa) of the learning ladder that all must climb in the first few weeks of a new job. §3. ‘Basically, you just have to be ready to roll up your sleeves from day one. But don't overdo it either,’ says Scott Knox, head of a graduate recruitment consultancy. He admits that it's not an easy thing to get right, suggesting that the best tactic is to take it one step at a time while you listen and learn §4. Dean Taylor began work in a sales promotion agency six weeks ago. He highlights another problem for the new recruit — being thrown in at the deep end. ‘I have been expected to make decisions and take responsibility for them from the moment | joined,’ he explains, Pointing out just how difficult that can be after ‘being wrapped in cotton wool at university’. §5. Hannah Senior, who joined the supermarket chain a year ago, points to the need to ask for regular feedback. ‘What can be difficult is not knowing if you're doing OK, but you do need to know where you could do better,’ she says. Another challenge is understanding the best way of interacting with a far broader group of people than you are likely to have come across at university. “For the first ten months, | worked as a manager in three different departments with a wide variety of staff at all levels,’ she explains. ‘i's not easy, but if you show that you are genuinely interested and willing to get your hands dirty, people will accept you. No one in the store seemed to mind about my university background.’ §6. Jane Clarke, author of the book Office Politics, says, ‘It takes time to understand the different types of people you are working with. Listen and learn about how they work and what they expect of you. Then respond accordingly.” If someone is meticulous (wenemunsted) in the way they work, they are likely to expect the same of you. If they work more quickly and are more goal-oriented, expect to have less time to prepare your work. Above all, success in your first few weeks in a new job is a matter of common sense — showing willing and being friendly and honest about what you do and do not know.

What have recent surveys shown about graduates starting work? 1) University qualifications are not as important as outside interests. 2) Graduates who have held positions of responsibilty often get the best jobs. 3) All graduates have to go through the same learning process in a new job. ‘A38. Scott Knox believes that graduate employees should 1) dress appropriately for the j ob. 2) aim to make gradual progress 3) arrive on time on the first day. ‘A39.
