Suppose you're going to land your dream job in fact I bet you already did so the next thing you're going to want to do is make a great first impression so if you want to look like a star at your new job tell me now by hitting the like button and we will jump right in so you have a new job .

Congratulations now you want to make a great first impression so let's get you into the right mind-set so you look awesome step number one find out what people are wearing I mean it used to be traditional to wear a suit on your first day but that is old school thinking I mean you don't want to stand out like an oddball and a suit if everyone else is wearing jeans or business casual will not.

Do you know you should already have got an idea of what people are wearing from when you went on job interviews that this company okay step number two if you have lost chance before showing up for your first day just ask I mean reach out to the hiring manager or someone in human resources and ask your questions don't be afraid to call on them. I mean after all they're not going to take away the job that they just gave to you step number three obviously you want to be polite to everyone but to really grow your new job and to make a good first impression strategy helps so get out from behind your desk and meet people in your department.

I mean even if you won't be working with them directly just connect and build rapport be social and let them know who you are and that if there's ever anything that you can do for them let them know and when you get out there and you meet people this action will build rapport and you will create an imprint in their minds that you or someone who is genuinely happy to be here willing to serve an eager to work.

I mean it simply sets the tone for yourself I mean obviously you can't meet everyone on your first day but taking time to make rounds and connect with your co-workers will pay off in time so get out there and meet people and show them you're excited to be there step number four don't be afraid to ask for help during your first 30 days I mean your manager wants to see you succeed but before you ask try to think through the whole problem and try to solve it yourself and then ask for help if you need it I mean asking for help was okay but you don't want to overdo it number five learn what everyone else does

I mean as you're meeting your co-workers and introducing yourself find out what everyone else does ask their titles the projects that they work on and anything else that you feel is important to know what the company and knowing these things is going to be very helpful to you when you need something or you need to refer a colleague to someone who can help them I mean have you ever worked somewhere that someone just knew everything I mean I have and I always went to them to get what I needed and this is the person that you need to become and this will elevate your status in the company and when it comes time to promote someone I mean who do you thinks gonna get the promotion I mean the person in the know and that would be you number six don't stress out yourself I mean starting a new job is stressful enough but you're not going to learn everything you need to know in the first week

I mean it usually takes three to six months for new hires to become fully productive now during your first 30 days I mean you have the biggest grace period to come up to speed so use this time to learn everything you can because in the coming months you will be expected to start doing your job at a much higher level so let's move on to number seven ask smart questions I mean have you ever been in a meeting and you ask a question and then felt like an idiot for asking it I think we all have asking those kinds of questions shows that you don't understand what's going on and since you're new and you don't know what is going on you want to ask questions that show curiosity and the desire for understanding so when a co-worker explains let's say a process

I mean you might say you know why do we do it this way and a question like that show is a desire to learn now most people are going to say why don't we do it this way which sense a completely different message and forces your coworker your boss to defend their method do you see the difference on that

I mean one is a smart question with an opportunity to learn and the other is a negative question the action must be defended alright number eight don't be afraid to ask your co-workers or your boss how you're doing I mean get that feedback early on so that you can make adjustments and improvements to your performance I mean after all I mean you want to do your best work right and number nine to make a great first impression you need to perform your job to the best of your ability

I mean you might think that it's obvious but any hint of slacking or subpar performance is quickly noticed by your boss and your coworkers so whatever job you're assigned to do do it to the very best of your ability and ahead of schedule I mean negative impressions are formed very early and usually within the first 90 days and since you're new you don't want people to get a bad impression of you and number 10 don't be a suck-up or so nice that you come across this fake I mean I've worked many jobs where the new hire tried to fit in by being super nice

I mean don't get me wrong being nice is good but as with anything there is a balance I mean I can assure you that your new team does not want to deal with someone who was overly nice to the point of overdone now if you're a naturally super sweet person try to contain yourself and let it out slowly and give your co-workers time to get to know you the real you and then you can be as sweet as you want because you are who you are and you're not going to change and the last thing in the world I would want is for a super sweet and kind person to be any less than who they are I mean everything in life is balanced if you're generally Curt then loosen up a little bit until your team gets to know you and then let the real you shine through when using this strategy will allow you to make a healthy first impression and build a strong relationship with your new team number eleven timing don't arrive too early for work maybe 10 to 15 minutes is ideal and don't leave too early or right on time because that shows you're a clock-watcher and then take a short lunch if you can't but in all likelihood your coworkers are gonna want to take you out to lunch on your first day but I've always packed my own lunch and even the cafeteria just to save time and money number 12 don't be a diva no matter what your status don't start demanding things from your co-workers I mean it's okay to be firm but for people who start a job and act like demanding divas all they're really doing is lacking confidence inside and trying to cover up their insecurities by ordering everyone around

I mean a lot of new hires don't realize that they just need to be honest and upfront from day one so their co-workers don't get the wrong impression I'm not suggesting to be someone you're not but be vulnerable and let people see the real you you know too often new hires hide who they are and then false impressions form be you be genuine be there to help and do it enthusiastically and when you first start a job no one knows you I mean you're either going to form good impressions or bad ones or even worsse none at all at least for the bad impression there are some people that will be drawn to you number thirteen don't be a know-it-all just be humble and let your co-workers teach and enlighten you even if you know what they're talking about I mean every company does things differently so hear the mouth before you try to start doing everything your way and last thing number fourteen lay off social media and avoid using company provided equipment and Internet services for personal use even if they tell you it's okay don't do it for at least six months do you start your new job so there you have it my friend my 14 best tips on making a great first impression on your new job now if you want to go further if these 14 steps just weren't enough for you and you want someone to come in and help you and advise you to grow in your new job reach out to me just reach out
