How to Make a Good First Impression

Your first day at a new job can be a daunting and nervous experience, so Edge Careers have taken a look at how you can make a good first impression and ease your nerves.

Time Keeping

You should aim to arrive for your first day early, just to show that you are eager to start, plus it gives you a few minutes to compose yourself. It is also a good idea to leave a bit later as well, just to show that you are committed.

New Colleagues

You should make an effort to get to know your new colleagues and not shy away in the corner. This will enable you to build good working relationships and gain the assistance of your colleagues, some of which will have multiple years experience, which you will benefit from.

Be Proactive

You will most likely be given a small work load on your first few days to ease you into your role, but if you finish, don’t be afraid to ask for more work, this will reflect well on you and show your ambition for the role and that you are hard working.

Be a Team Player

If you have some spare time offer your help to your new colleagues. If there is a tea & coffee round join in and take a turn making a round. Though be sure to remember to remain focused on your work load and not get too distracted.

Ask Questions

Don’t be afraid to ask questions or ask for help. If you don’t know how to do something or are unsure if you are doing something correctly, ask a colleague or your manager for help. It is better to ask for help and get it right rather than do it on your own and get it wrong.
