Landing your new job is a wonderful experience. In fact, don’t forget to celebrate because you definitely deserve it after all your hard work!

 

Start by understanding what your boss’s priorities are and what the expectations are for your new position. But before you rush to meet these priorities and expectations, be sure that you also understand the organization’s culture, style, and its way of doing things.

From my experience, I start to feel comfortable in a new job after two-three months. During this period I've already know the names and duties of the other employees, learn all the duties of my new job and gradually face some situations and know what I'm expecting and know what the manager is expecting from me. So this time is crucial to every new job.

In all reason, "assimilation" will normally take a longer period of time to set in. I believe the normal order is: introduction (to company), acquaintance (with job, collegues and culture), induction (instruction), adaptation (by me), integration, production, adoption (by work place), satisfaction, affection, ASSIMILATION, construction, protection, progression, creation, perfection.

In my opinion there is seven steps allow you to assimilate fast in work as follow:

  1. Ask as many questions as possible
  2. Contribute to the conversation
  3. Ask for feedback
  4. Compartmentalize your work
  5. Read everything
  6. Focus on vocabulary
  7. And finally, be okay with not knowing everything
