The first days in an unfamiliar team at a new job are often accompanied by stress. The success of adaptation depends on many factors. To feel more confident and calmer in a new place, listen to the advice of psychologists.
Instructions
Step 1
Please respect the accepted dress code. From the first days, dress as is customary in your new team. In some offices, everyone dresses loosely, in others, it is required to maintain a business style, in others, there is a standard uniform. It is also better not to experiment with a hairstyle in the early days - make a strict business style. And it is generally better to leave the original costume jewelry until the next corporate party.
Step 2
Behave naturally. In a new team, a person may be tempted to show himself better, smarter, more sociable than he really is. However, remember that you will have to wear a mask all the time.
Step 3
Listen more, talk less. Collectives usually have their own groups and coalitions, and it takes time to sort them out. From the first days at a new job, one should not openly take sides in confrontations, as well as be frank, gossip, flirt and complain, especially about the former team.
Step 4
Find a person who will help you understand the intricacies of relationships between colleagues, introduce you to the traditions of the team, and guide you in some work issues. In search of a friendly shoulder, you should be careful - the most curious and gossiping people for whom you are at first a "tidbit" are usually the first to offer their help. Observe your coworkers and highlight the person who is most often asked for help, it is he who you need.
Step 5
Don't try in the early days to suggest your own methods to improve your workflow. Even if your ideas are absolutely correct, you will most likely be considered an upstart, climbing into a strange monastery with your own charter. Wait and submit your suggestions later when they start to perceive you as your person.
Step 6
Take your work as seriously as possible. At the beginning of your career, you will be under the close scrutiny of colleagues, so you need to show yourself as a professional. But at the same time, you cannot demonstrate all your talents at once, otherwise you can make envious people and enemies who will begin to suspect you of wanting to "hook" one of the old workers.
Step 7
Maintain the traditions of your new place of work. Do not avoid festive events and corporate events, communicate with colleagues during your lunch break. If in your new team it is customary to "affix" - find out the subtleties of this custom and arrange a holiday for yourself and your colleagues.
Step 8
Don't expect to be loved and accepted on the first day. It will likely take you several months to fully become your own person. People's opinion is formed for a long time and depends significantly on your actions. Be patient, friendly and you will definitely successfully join the team.
