Things to Do on Your First Day at Job

Hello guys! 
This is Fratres and today I'm going to talk about the things that you should do if you're going on the job for the first time or even if you're shifting your job with a new one. There are some things that you should do on the first day of every new job. So here we go,

1- Describe Success In Your Role:

The key to doing an amazing job is knowing exactly what's expected from you. There is no better time to find out just what that is than on your very first day. Ask your boss how your success will be measured and over what time frame. Without context and expectations you will have no clue to deliver, the time required to come up to speed and the resources you will need to deploy to achieve success productively and efficiently.

2- Seek Out the Right Reading Material:

 Immerse yourself in reading all that you can about the company's culture and norms old newsletters, articles, decks, org charts etc. These types of documents can give you a decent primer on what's important to your new organization. If done effectively, you will have far more context and information, which will help you understand the company, your role and what success looks like.

3- Shift the Focus on New Colleagues:

It can be tempting to tell your life story to new co-workers, but try to spend more time learning about them than you do talking about yourself. To start gaining respect of colleagues and superiors on the first day try to make it about them, not yourself. A common first day trap is to talk up your own past accomplishments and future ambitions, which make people nervous and annoyed because they don't know you. Instead, get curious and inquire about the roles, talents and achievements of your colleagues to establish a person as a listener, learner and collaborator.

4- Confirm about Manager Response:

One question you should ask very early on is how your manager likes to communicate with others. Do they prefer that you drop by and talk about things in person? Send them emails or messages ? Text them on their work phone ?
Do not wait for the manager to tell you and do not assume that he communicates like other managers you've had before.

5- Don't Wait to be Introduced:

Your manager will probably introduce you to the rest of your department, but it's a good idea to reach out beyond that, even if you're not prompted by any superior to do so. Reach out your hand and initiate a greeting specially focusing on those who work near you, on the same team as you, or that you might interact with frequently in the future.

These are some of the important things that you should note and apply to yourself while having the first day at a new job. Share this blog to your friends and family, someone might need them.

How You Should Prepare Your CV

Hello guys, this is  Fratres  and today we're going to tell you that how you can write an effective CV. Writing a good CV can be one of the hardest challenges of job hunting. Most of the Employers spend just a few seconds reviewing CV before they stick it in the "YES" or "NO" pile. It is Harsh but it's the Truth. Don't worry! We've created our top hints on how you should create an effective CV and get that all-important interview. There are steps you should follow while creating your CV. 1- KEEP IT REAL! You should keep in mind that your CV should not be more than two pages (A4 Pages). Employers spend just 8 seconds looking at any one CV on average. Therefore you should make precise and effective writing in the CV to convey your message in that average time. 2- USE A PERSONAL STATEMENT Do not just assume that an employer only sees that how your experience will relate to the job. Instead, use a short personal statement to describe that wh...

College Graduates: Ready For Your First Job?

Hello Grads, This is Fratres . Are you ready to enter the job market for the first time? Before you start going out on interviews, consider running a background check on yourself to see what your record looks like. Many recent college grads just entering the job market do so with a feeling of invincibility. It’s not uncommon to feel like the world is your oyster following four successful years at a university—particularly if you were one of the top students in your degree program. But just as the competition got fiercer and the challenges got steeper when you traded your high school halls for a sprawling college campus, things are going to get harder and more competitive once more now that you are looking for full-time employment. As such, if you are going to beat out everyone else that is competing for your dream job, you are going to need to do everything in your power to become the ideal hire. Become the Ideal Hire Unfortunately, becoming the ideal hire is only partially ba...
