No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the right impression- not the wrong one - from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are seven tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job:
1. First impressions can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code (rules about what you can wear to work). If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean. 第一印象很难改变,所以你要留下个好印象。在第一天上班之前,要弄清你的新工作是否有着装规范(即你该穿什么去上班)。如果有,一定按照要求去做。不管是何种要求,永远要保持整洁。
2. Get to work on time. Employers value employees who come to work right on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time. 按时上班。雇主看重那些按时上班的雇员。你应该早出发15分钟,保证能按时到。
3. Pay attention to introductions. One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around. 注意听介绍。你的上级首先可能做的事情之一是把你介绍给同事。这些同事对你可很重要。当老板不在时,他们可以回答你的问题。
4. Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you your job duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself. 多问问题。一定要明白上司要求你做的事情,如果他没具体告诉你工作职责,就应索要工作目录,然后每天、每星期给自己定一个工作目标。
5. Do not take too long for lunch. What is the lunch-hour policy at your new job? You can find out from your supervisor or your company's personnel department. For example, do people eat at their desks or does everyone take a full hour outside the workplace?午饭时间不要太长。你的新工作单位对午饭有什么规定?你可以从你的上级或者公司的人事部门那里了解到。譬如,雇员是在自己的写字台就餐,还是有一小时的时间到外边就餐?
6. Do not make personal phone calls. You should never make personal phone calls to your friends and family unless it is an emergency. 不要打私人电话。除非有紧急情况,不要给朋友或家里打私人电话。
7. Never be the first one to leave. Observe how your co-workers behave around quitting time. It does no look good for you to be eager to leave. 绝不要第一个离开办公室。看看你的同事到下班时的举动如何。急于要走是不好的。
