Your # 1 priority when starting a new job
Starting a new job is difficult for everyone (especially annoying).
There are thousands of things that play on your mind with small worries like what to wear big things like how well you will treat your colleagues and boss.
We’ve talked about how to make a good impression before, but according to Dorothy Tanahl-Moran, “Interview Whisper” and Expert Career Counselor, there’s one thing you should prioritize over everything else.
Your # 1 priority when starting a new job
Congratulations! You’ve got a new job and I’m sure you’re eager to get started.
Your brain is probably thinking about what you will do in those first few days to learn everything you need to know.
Your plan is to become a rock star in this new place of business!
You can have great success if you keep your top priority in mind.
What’s that # 1 priority?
Build great working relationships. With your boss and your new teammates.
Definitely, you need to learn how to do your job in this new setting as well as important things like office supplies and fountains.
If you haven’t discovered yet, your relationship with your boss in particular will be a key factor in both your job satisfaction and success.
There seem to be three groups of people in the workplace when it comes to developing relationships:
Knows and works automatically when building relationships in the workplace.
Doesn’t pay attention to it or thinks too much about it.
Get out of the way of avoiding relationships with bosses and co-workers. People like “I want to separate my personal life from work”
If you are in the first group – good for you. I’m sure you’ll do well in the long run.
If you are in one of the other two groups, you have to work to achieve the kind of success that you believe you are capable of.
Why should this be your # 1 priority?
Let me know the reasons for building relationships in the workplace and check out some of the attitudes
People support other people they know, like and trust.
If they don’t know you except for a few moments of business-focused conversations, they won’t support you. It’s that simple.
We are tribal creatures. If you do not try to join a group, there may be a limit to the response.
At best, you are ignored. At worst, they will try to take you away.
The support of your colleagues and boss is the single biggest factor of success.
All work depends on each other.
It is virtually impossible to be completely independent if you work for someone. This means that your work depends on others and vice versa.
Think of it as the inner workings of a clock. It is necessary to mesh all the cogs and when one cog does not mesh the clock has to be fixed. Bad cog removed and replaced.
This is not a rock star status.
You are never ‘neutral’ to the boss.
You are a big promotion, a big problem or hidden.
If you are hidden you will be ignored which means you will not get big assignments or promotions.
If you have a problem, you will either be corrected or removed. (Both painful)
If you are a promoter, you are valuable, desirable and will be at the top of the boss’s ideas for assignments, promotions and salary increases. Is it really worth it?
Attitude check.
It’s okay to separate your personal life from your business life but you don’t do it because you avoid relationships.
It separates you from things like limiting the sharing of your personal life. It doesn’t have to be private, and if you think about it, it’s not.
Also, developing a relationship is about knowing if you and your mother are together;
5 Quick Tips for Promoting Working Relationships
Your relationships will always be important at work, but they are also important when you climb the ladder. This is a skill you can learn and apply consciously from now on.
1. Be friendly!
Smile and tell your coworker that you are accessible.
2. Have a sense of humor.
We all love someone who doesn’t take everything so seriously all the time. It reduces stress and strengthens the fact that you are comfortable living around.
3. Be interested in your co-workers.
Take an extra minute to chat when you walk by or see someone. There is no need to turn it into a long, drawn-out conversation. Ask questions about them to get to know them and make this information the basis for future conversations
4. Be helpful.
Think twice See where you can help others once you understand their jobs. When you are helpful to others, they will give you back and go on a long journey to develop the relationship.
5. Keep an eye on social cues.
Be sensitive to people who need more communication before going into business. There are personalities who almost can’t work with you if they are the first priority Are unable to meet their social obligations.
