In the first few days, you\u2019re responsible for learning anything from the way operations take place to the names and roles of your new coworkers. It can be a lot to take in. And, while it\u2019s all necessary information to learn, what you\u2019re putting out there may be the most important of all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first impression at a new job is a time that deserves careful planning and attention. It is an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologicalscience.org\/observer\/studying-first-impressions-what-to-consider\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">interaction with effects that can last for months<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and is often based on anything from the words you say to the way that you stand. In this article, we\u2019re discussing the importance of making a good impression at a new job. Then, we\u2019re talking about seven ways you can guarantee to make one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Essential Tips for Making a Good First Impression<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only do coworkers begin forming opinions about your personality very quickly, but managers do too. In fact, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2015\/09\/18\/new-employees-onboarding-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research shows that 78% of employers form an opinion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> about whether an employee will be successful or not in less than three months.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This means that you have less than 90 days to prove yourself and your work ethic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re going to show you how with these seven essential tips.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Wear the Outfit for the Job<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The truth is that people will begin developing an opinion about you before you ever say a word. Because of this, your clothes should speak for you. Read up on your employer\u2019s dress code, and aim to be one of the best-dressed in the room. A sleek, professional look not only speaks volumes to others but can also increase the confidence you feel about yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Spend Lots of Time Listening<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is your time to observe, learn, and admit that you don\u2019t know it all. One of the best ways to drive that great first impression is by practicing active and attentive listening. Look at your coworker when they\u2019re speaking to you and ask questions when you have them. It\u2019s even beneficial to carry something around for taking notes and speeding up your transition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Learn the Names of Your Coworkers<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might seem insignificant, especially among all the other stuff you\u2019re learning. But, believe it or not, taking the time to remember the names of your coworkers goes a really long way. This sends the message that you appreciate the job and the people working around you. It\u2019s a small effort for the results it brings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Pay Attention to Your Emotional Intelligence<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High emotional intelligence is one of the best ways to connect with those around you and improve your first impression. Put simply, emotional intelligence is the ability to read the emotions of yourself and those around you. It allows you to connect with people on a deeper level, and can even help you feel more confident. Focus on ways to improve your emotional intelligence in order to connect with people quickly and efficiently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Show Up Early<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to be on time for your very first day, but if you want to make a really great first impression, show up early. Giving yourself an extra 10-15 minute cushion will help you get used to the commute and any other first-day bumps you may run into. The last thing you want to do is arrive late.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Use Small Talk for Good, Not Gossip<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While settling in at your new job, there will be lots of opportunities for connecting with your coworkers. Take them. But instead of using this time to chat about the weather, or worse, office gossip, use this as a chance to get ahead. Inquire about the office softball team or other ways you can get involved in the company culture. Take the initiative and show others that you\u2019re looking to get connected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Be Open to Learning<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is critical that you stay humble. Regardless of where you\u2019ve been before, this is your first time at this new job, and it\u2019s important to play the role. Allow your coworkers to teach you new things, and get to know the way that operations take place. There is no real pressure to perform in the first few days of your new job. Instead, this window is your chance for learning and growing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Final Thoughts<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the end, the most important tip to remember when starting a new job is to be yourself. Authenticity will always be rewarded, and this is one of the best ways to connect with those around you. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself to actually make the first impression, and instead focus on being a professional, positive person in the office. Remember, you already have the job. Now is the time to appreciate it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; There is a lot going on when you start a new job.
