Landing On A New Job

Most employees who quit their job would still think on how to adapt to a new culture, system or even the people when landing on a new job. Especially those who only have one spare day before on boarding to a new company might be challenging because you don't have a honeymoon time to wear off the previous company's culture, to pace yourself and deal with separation anxiety. Life as we know it never ends and I salute people who have experienced that because it is not easy.

Moreover, in the first week of your job might be interesting, challenging, doubts and your brain has a million questions but thou shall not fret because this article will help you on how to manage those first to the third-week scenario in your new job (or at least will ease the stress).

HAVE A FRIEND

The number one rule when you got on board is to have a friend. One or two is good for a start but don't be so friendly that they might think you are being so feeling close. The best person you can count on is your HR, they will help you to pace yourself and even adjust. Those who work in a multinational company and their Human Resource Department is in another location, your seatmate is your next option. With them, you can learn the culture, how the industry works and what's your boss' personality.

ASK ABOUT THE PROCESS

In every company, they have their process. Their system is different. Might be similar the system you are using on the previous company but the module is not the same. Don't be afraid to ask about the process to those who have stayed with the company for quite a long time. The first rule is not to be afraid to call the head office if nobody knows in your branch how this thing works. Email them about your concern but make sure to be precise and do not be vague about your concern, preferably with screenshots so that they can really check what occurred.

EMBRACE THE NEW CULTURE

The hardest part of the job is to adjust to the new culture. The process can be learned but the culture is the hardest since you have to depart yourself to the previous work culture you have embraced for a couple of years. A few weeks of tackling about your new company might be a common occurrence if you share experiences with your colleagues but as much as possible, learn how to detach yourself to your previous culture. Take it slowly and later on you will realize that things are different and the only constant in the world is the word change.

You will hear to other managers the line "there's no perfect company" and its true. The company won't adjust to your attitude or personality but you will be the one to cope up with them. Never miss to learn new stuff and accept feedback. In that way, you will learn to deal how to manage the differences in case you will jump off to another career or company. But, always make sure to keep your feet on the ground.
