Thanks for the comments, and the compliment (Duane). I definitely appreciate people adding to the post. This is one of the biggest benefits of blogs over newpapers or magazines. It’s an example of wikinomics…

You must also dress well and be neat in appearance on your first day at your new office to create that first lasting impression.

There are critical steps you need to take to make sure you hit the ground running in a new job, and these steps start the moment you accept the job, long before your first day on the job.

First, you must close out your search professionally, reaching out to every person you networked with during your search. You want to make sure they know how much you appreciated their support, and where you’ve landed. This is critical to ensuring the power of your network going forward.

Second, you want to think about things you can do to show your excitement about the job between accepting the offer and starting on the job.

Third, once your first day arrives, you will be embarking on a seemingly endless series of first impressions. You want people to make the judgement that you are a mover and shaker who is going to add a lot to the operation; if not, those impressions will haunt you for a long time.

HI John,

3 Things to Think About When Starting a New Job,

This is really good one and i guess most of them have come across this kind of situation especially when they are changing Jobs, as you said Nobody is going to fire some one for a few screw-ups during your first few months. they would get an opportunity to learn and get the things done properly as streamlined and they are safe enough as long as they are Confident and know how to get the job done.

Some time even i think the same as you have written here “Companies hire to fill an immediate need and if that individual works out in the long-term is grate”,

But there are lot of other things involved in surviving with the company, Like one should know how to handle Internal Politics, Job satisfaction and the out put of the work etc,

the Person who ex-sell these qualities and they are in good books of the management and would not to worry about changing jobs and if not the Stress which is going to come out leads most of them to change Jobs…!
