Nobody knows you in the new team, so a lot depends on the impression made in the very first days. The opinion that your colleagues and superiors have about you can help you significantly advance your career ladder, as well as make new friends and good acquaintances.
Instructions
Step 1
Be friendly and welcoming. If at your new job your boss or HR manager hasn't introduced you to everyone, then say hello and introduce yourself. The best thing is if you arrange a small "banquet" on the occasion of your acquaintance: you can order a pizza to the office or bring a cake and treat everyone during your lunch break. So you can not only get to know everyone, but also see who behaves in an informal setting.
Step 2
Your responsibilities should be very clear to you. Ask your boss or supervisor about this, depending on who will help you at first. It's important to find a fine line between not being shy about asking what you really don't understand, and pestering everyone with questions about things where you can find a solution on your own.
Step 3
Each team has its own rules, take a closer look at how colleagues behave. You’ll quickly learn how to hold on to a new job if you’re careful. Even if you do not like some of the habits of your colleagues, be patient: they have been working here much longer than you. Soon, when you join the team, you can try to change the microclimate for the better, but for now, take into account the adage that people don’t go to someone else’s monastery with their own charter.
Step 4
Treat new colleagues with respect. Even if you do not like someone, do not rush to conflict. Perhaps after a while you will change your mind about this person. In any case, the impression you had in your first few days is not entirely objective.
Step 5
If the team is close-knit and friendly, then do not expect to be immediately welcomed with open arms. Sometimes newcomers are “tested” for a long time, while, perhaps, arranging for them all sorts of awkward or strange situations, these are a kind of tests. This is especially true for creative or young teams. Be vigilant, treat everything calmly and with humor, this will definitely be appreciated. If you can laugh it off or answer wittyly, it will make your colleagues respect you, and you will soon be accepted into the circle of “friends”.
