Starting a new job can be a little bit daunting, especially if it is a step up from your previous position. If you are beginning a new role, here are some ideas to make sure you learn quickly and impress your colleagues with your knowledge:
- Ask questions. Make the most of people’s knowledge about the company and processes. This also has the added benefit of making you look keen and enthusiastic.
- Make notes. You will learn much faster if you write down what you know and are able to refer back to it in future.
- Read everything you are given. You will usually be given a welcome pack or training manual on your first day. Check all of the information and if you have questions, ask them.
- Read about the company in general. Take an active interest in their clients and history. Get your information from various sources, like their website and promotional materials.
