No matter if you are a beginner or a senior executive, you arrive at your new job with a "halo" around you. You were the one they chose; you are the solution to what they needed.
Halos don't last forever and your path to career success can be smooth or paved with ruts. How would you like to arrive at your new job with a leg up on everyone else and it might only take you two hours. TOPS!
Would you want to know two simple techniques to creating a great impression?
Step #1. Meet with your new boss and/or colleagues to get a clear picture on what you will need to do in your first 30 to 60 days to get off to a great start. It doesn't matter what they told you during the interview; things change AND they will probably be more forthcoming out their needs so that you can start mapping out solutions, milestones and targets that make sense
Step #2: Select 2 or 3 goals to accomplish during that time. Often, you will be handed a list of objectives and need to prioritize them for maximum impact.
DO IT!
Following this advice will often get you off to a great start and help cause people to notice you in a good way.
