Starting a new job

Making a great impression

Key Takeaways:

The first impression you make during onboarding sets the tone for how you’re perceived in your new role. Being intentional, clear and authentic can help you start strong and build positive momentum from day one.

Believe in yourself! They chose you for a reason, and this is your chance to bring your experience to the table.

Learn the culture and expectations early by asking questions, listening and observing.

Be proactive: research the organisation, contact your manager before you start, and prepare for any gaps in knowledge.

Build key relationships quickly. This especially matters with your manager, stakeholders and team members.

Take time to understand your team’s dynamics if you're leading others, and avoid jumping to conclusions. Observe and listen to how things work around the office.
