How Can I Start a New Job on the Right Foot?

How Can I Start a New Job on the Right Foot?

One of the trick questions asked during job interviews is: "What would you do immediately after joining us?"

Beware! The interviewer wants to see if you are a bull in a china shop or a true professional who will be a team player and make appropriate contributions after studying the situation. No one likes a know-it-all or a ninety-day wonder.

You need to:

1. Understand the Nature of the World of Work.
2. Analyze and Utilize Your Company's Formal and Informal Communications Networks.
3. Develop Your Own Survival Techniques.

If not, you will be in-and-out of the revolving door within six months!

(For a complete treatise on this topic, read Chapter 13: How Can I Start a New Job on the Right Foot? in the classic career book, Career and Life Counseling From The Heart by Don Sutaria. Good Luck!)
