How to make a good impression and adapt to a new job. How to get used to the conditions at a new job

Change is a part of life for each of us. This can be anything from moving to a new place to the most difficult event in your life (for example, the illness or death of a loved one) or problems in relationships with people. Being able to adapt to change will help you be more responsible and confident in your life.

Steps

Get used to moving

Let yourself be sad. You won't do yourself any good if you keep all your feelings inside. You are most likely excited, anxious, nervous, sad that you need to leave your old life behind. All this is natural and good!

• Take a breather when you feel like you've been overwhelmed. It could be something as simple as sitting for 15 minutes in a quiet room in a cozy coffee shop or on a park bench.
• When you reminisce about your old life, don't push those feelings away. Give yourself time to think about them, even if it means crying. Working with your emotions will help you enjoy your new place of residence more.

1. Let go of your hopes and expectations. You have ideas about how you want your life to be. But it is possible that your new life will not fit into this template. This does not mean that your new life will be bad or wrong. You need to get rid of expectations and let things happen the way they are.

   • Live in the present. Instead of planning how you can improve your future, or remembering how good it was in the past, focus on every moment that you experience in a new place. Soon it will become so familiar to you that you will stop noticing them. Enjoy seeing new places and experiencing new experiences.
   • This is a new place and life here will be different from what you had before. You cannot recreate what you had. When you catch yourself comparing a new place to an old one, stop! Remind yourself that these are different things, and different doesn't mean bad. Give the new place a chance to be good for you.
   • Remember that you probably won't get used to it right away. It will take time to find friends. It will take time to learn new terrain, new habits. It will take time to find your new favorite bakery, your new bookstore, your gym.

2. Get to know your new place of residence better. One part of the process of adjusting to a new place is learning more about it. If you stay in your lair in a house or apartment, thinking about the past, you will never make new friends and will not find the meaning of life. Get out of your shell!

   • Join an organization you like. This could be anything from a library book club to participating in volunteer projects. Religious communities are a great place to make new friends if you're religious. Or political organizations or arts groups (singing circles, knitting, quilting, newspaper clippings, etc.) are great.
   • Go for walks with your colleagues. If you have had to relocate because of a new job, ask your co-workers where to go and invite them to come with you. Even if you don't develop a long-term friendship with them, you cannot know who you will meet and who you will be introduced to.
   • Talk to people. Strike up a small conversation with the clerk at the grocery store, with the person waiting for the bus at the bus stop near you, with the librarian at the counter, with the employee at the coffee shop. You will learn a little about the place where you now live, begin to meet people and feel comfortable in the new environment.

3. Get ready for culture shock. Even if you just moved to another city, it may be different. And this is especially true when moving to another country, to another region of your country, from a city to a village and vice versa. The places are different and you have to be prepared for that.

   • Try to adjust your rhythm of life to the new environment. For example, if you have just moved from a big city to a village, you will notice that the pace of life and the people themselves are very different from those in the city.
   • Sometimes it may even seem that people in your new place of residence speak a different language altogether (even if it's your native language!). You may need to learn new slang, acronyms, and new language features. Be prepared to make mistakes and ask for clarification.

4. Keep in touch with your old life. Just because you have entered a new life, there is no need to burn bridges. At the very beginning, your past will create sadness, nostalgia and regret in you, but connecting with it will also support you in a new life.

   • Use technology to stay connected. You live in an era when it is much easier to keep in touch with people from distant places. Write messages, use social networks, Skype, etc. to keep in touch with old friends and family members.
   • A nice message from a friend can help reduce the feeling of loneliness you'll have after you move.
   • Don't let your old life ruin your new one, though. If you spend all your time looking back, talking only to your old friends or family members, you are missing out on opportunities to meet new friends in your new life. That's why it's so important to connect with people in a new place.

5. Go in for sports. Not only is it a good way to keep yourself healthy and positive, it's also a great way to get to know the city and meet new people.

   • Go for walks. Choose a new place that you want to explore so that you start to feel the feelings about your new place of residence.
   • Join a group of people involved in sports. Find someone who also runs in the morning, or join a yoga group. This is how you start meeting new people.

6. Learn to be yourself. One of the keys to being okay with moving house is learning to be alone. No matter how friendly you are, how many circles and sections you attend, you will still be lonely sometimes. And that's okay! It won't last forever.

   • Be independent of the support and praise of other people.

7. Give yourself time. It takes time to get used to anything, including moving. At different times, you will feel depressed, lonely and lost in memories. This is completely normal. There is even a kind of timetable for getting used to a new place:

   • The very first phase of the move is commonly referred to as the “honeymoon”. At this time, everything seems so new, exciting and different (sometimes frightening). Typically, this phase lasts about three months.
   • After the honeymoon, the negotiation phase begins when you really see the difference between your new residence and your old home. This is the stage when you are filled with feelings of insecurity, loneliness and you really miss your old home. Although this phase usually follows the honeymoon, sometimes everything can start with it.
   • The next stage is the habituation phase, which begins after six to twelve months in a new place. At this time, you get used to the new routine and begin to feel at home.
   • Usually around a year people go to the last phase when you start to feel comfortable in your new home. Sometimes, however, it may take longer. Remember, all people are different.

   Deal with a major life event

   1. It happens in one moment or a day of life. No matter what it is (illness, death of a family member, job loss, or wedding cancellation), you won't be able to handle it if you take on too much. The more you look back instead of focusing on the present, the more this event will hurt you.

      • For example, if you've lost your job, don't try to fix the problem right away. You will end up confused and sad. Instead, do everything in stages. Update your resume first, then look for jobs online, on job boards, or talk to people you know about it.
      • Do not give in to regrets about the past or anxiety about the future, otherwise you may sink into depression or anxiety. If you can't live in the present, you need help. People whose lives have undergone global changes can either fall into depression, or worsen their condition even more if depression has already been.

   2. Take care of yourself. Many people forget to take care of themselves and make themselves feel safe. It should be a deep personal concern so that you can relax and wrap yourself in it like a cozy blanket.

      • You will know what works best for you, but here are some suggestions: make yourself a cup of tea and focus on how you drink it (breathe the steam from it, feel the warmth slide down your throat and sink into your stomach), wrap yourself in a warm blanket or heating pad, do yoga and focus only on your breathing and body movements.
      • If negative or sad thoughts come to your mind, breaking the rhythm of movements, recognize them in time and let them go. Tell yourself that you will think about it tomorrow, and now you need to focus on creating a comfortable environment for yourself.

   3. Allow yourself to give in to your feelings. No matter what change has occurred in your life, it will be accompanied by emotions. If you ignore these feelings and try to avoid them, you will only get stronger and more painful later on. This does not mean that you need to sink into sadness and anger, but it does mean that you must allow yourself to be angry or sad.

      • You have to go through stages of emotion such as renunciation, anger, sadness, and then acceptance. With the successful resolution of such states, each subsequent influx of emotions will pass faster.
      • Don't start using "painkillers": it's about drugs or alcohol, but it can also be about watching too much TV, overeating not because you like the taste of food, but because you want to drown out a part of yourself. Such remedies will help you drown out the pain, but not cope with your feelings.

   4. Give yourself time to reflect on change. Change means different things to different people, even to the same person at different times in his life. Reflecting on how you feel, what has changed and why, will help you deal with the emotional imbalances that come with life changes.

      • Journaling is another great way to reflect on change. This will not only allow you to draw out your feelings and describe your path through this change. When the next big life change comes, you can look back and see how you handled the last one, how you felt and how you got it all sorted out.

   5. Find someone you can talk to. Talking about problems with someone can not only calm you down well, but it will also give you a different understanding of change and yourself that you may not have had before.

      • Try to find someone who has already gone through what you are going through now. This person will be a kind of mentor to you, someone who will help you see that the way you are coping with change is normal, that your feelings are justified. He will also help you get to the bottom of the problem and support you on your path to healing.
      • Support groups and religious organizations are a great help, especially for people who are struggling with illness, trying to cope with the death of loved ones, and other similar life changes. This is a good place to find someone who has been through this and who can help you.

   6. Dream about the future. While you don't want to dwell on the future or spend too much time worrying about it, you still need to keep life flowing in the right direction. This means that you must decide how you want to see your future and work to create it.

      • Dreams are a great tool for working out scenarios for what you would do. Let go of your mind to see how you might experience this major change in your life.
      • Collect ideas that appeal to you from the Internet or magazines. You can look for interesting solutions for home improvement, a new job, and think about how you can incorporate this into your life.

   7. Make small improvements. It's best to work on yourself in small steps. If you take on too much, it can completely drown you. What you need to do while you're trying to adjust to change is to improve your life a little, make it a little easier.

      • Small adjustments can be: eat better (especially if you are dealing with an illness), exercise to raise your happiness hormones and get healthier, use your time more efficiently (plan and follow your plan, trying to get the most out of your day).

   8. Incorporate relaxation techniques into your life. Techniques such as yoga, meditation, even just taking long walks can help reduce your stress and make it easier to adjust to life's changes.

      • Meditation is a good choice for relaxation as it will help you calm your thoughts and can be used almost anywhere. If you're just starting out, find a quiet place, set a timer for 15 minutes (or just count your breaths if you don't want to bother with a clock) and sit comfortably. Breathe deeply. Focus on your breath, inhale and exhale. If any thoughts begin to distract you, become aware of them, put them aside, and return to focusing on your breath.
      • Yoga is another great relaxation technique. It includes not only meditation (focusing on the breath), but also excellent physical exercises, body movements and work on all joints and muscles.

   9. Be aware that there will always be changes. All life is one big change. No matter how ready you are for change, there will always be changes that will shock you. If you cling to the routine of your current life, it will be difficult for you to adjust to changing conditions in the long run.

      • Again, this doesn't mean you have to deny your feelings about change, because change can be intimidating and disarming, but it does mean you have to accept these feelings as part of life change.

   build relationships

   1. Get used to new relationships. The beginning of a new relationship can be filled with reckless excitement. However, it is important to control yourself if you want the relationship to continue.

      • Do not hurry. You should not immediately start living together and plan your common future if you have recently started dating. If you find yourself recklessly choosing names for your future children a few months after starting a relationship, take a step back, remind yourself to live in the present, and not get too far ahead.
      • Don't be intrusive. It's natural that you want to spend all your time with this new loved one, but that's not healthy. No need to constantly call, write messages and walk with this person. This will not only overload your relationship, but you will quickly tire of each other.
      • Maintain your personal life as well. Meet your friends, work and maintain your habits. Of course, you have a lot to do together, but find time for a separate life. That way you'll still have plenty to talk about and don't overwhelm each other.

   2. Cope with relationship changes. That relations will change is inevitable. You can't do anything about it, but you can adapt to change. It can be anything: your partner suddenly became sloppy when he was always clean, or your spouse decided that he did not want children, although he always wanted to.

      • Voice problems as soon as possible, especially if they are small and can grow into something bigger later. For example, if your partner has become sloppy and doesn't clean up after himself, talk to him using "I-statements". Say, "I feel like I'm washing all the dishes even though I haven't used any of them," or "It really frustrates me when I have to fold your clothes."
      • The key to getting used to change is to reach a compromise in accepting differences. This means that you can follow your partner's lead in this matter, but do everything your way in the next question, or always look for a middle ground.
      • Talk about how change affects your relationship and determine how important the subject of change is to the relationship. If you want children and your partner doesn't, you must decide if not having children is right for you, or if you think the relationship should end and you should separate.

   3. Maintain long distance relationships. It can be extremely difficult, but it's easier now than it used to be. It takes time and effort to get used to long distance relationships and you have to be willing to invest in it.

      • Communicate with each other. This is the biggest problem in long distance relationships. Talk about what's important to you, talk about problems in your relationship and in your life, and voice what's important to you.
      • Fight doubts. You will be afraid if your partner is right for you, sometimes you will not trust him, sometimes you will doubt him. The best thing you can do when you have doubts that something suspicious is going on is to talk about your despair over the distance, or complain to a friend about your doubts. This will help open up feelings before they start poisoning you.
      • Spend time together. Make sure you make time for each other. Send friend a friend funny postcards and letters. talk on the phone and communicate via the Internet. Set special dates for yourself and try to see each other in person on these days.

   4. Getting used to the fact that you began to live together. This can be a big change in a relationship and needs to be taken seriously. You will feel comfortable very quickly, despite the inevitable difficulties. Also remember that you will change your mind about moving in together, usually a few days after you move in, as change is scary.

      • The important thing about having a normal life together is that you don't have to hide your non-sexuality and personal items like tampons and pads, or that pair of really awful underpants you have. Your significant other will find these things anyway, and the less you worry about it, the more comfortable you both will be.
      • Your routine will change. You just have to be ready for it. You must discuss who will perform what duties around the house, where each of you will have things, and so on. It will be a lot of talk and change.
      • Give each other space. This is one of the key points - to give each other a place where you can be alone with your emotions and feelings rising in you because of this change.

   5. Learn to deal with breakups. For starters, you need time to mourn the end of the relationship, even if you were the one who initiated the breakup. The gap is difficult for both partners, and it takes time to get over it. Here are a few highlights to keep in mind if you're trying to get used to your new status as a bachelor:

   • A key aspect of any type of addiction is that you need time for it to happen. It doesn't happen right away and you can't speed up the process. Give yourself time to get used to the new state of affairs in your life.

   Warnings

   • You cannot avoid change, no matter how hard you strive for it. It is better to be ready for them and not resist when they come.

If you want to manage others, learn to manage yourself.

This edition includes the leading ideas of Stephen Covey, Daniel Goleman, Edgar Schein, Kenneth Blanchard - those who have become recognized and undisputed leaders in matters of personal and professional growth. Their best techniques and technologies are now brought together.

Find clues and tips that will lead you to the goal in the shortest possible way and will allow you to bypass the traps that lie in wait for even experienced managers.

The book is intended for managers, entrepreneurs, managers.

Beginner: join the team and get down to business

To join the team means to learn how to behave correctly, in accordance with the corporate standards of the company, to find your place, to receive recognition and respect from colleagues. It also means building personal connections and relationships, adapting to the cultural and working environment of the organization.

Taking on the job means doing your job effectively, meeting requirements, and making a positive contribution to achieving the goals and objectives of the organization.

The first weeks and months play a key role in laying the foundation for personal achievement in a new organization. But the beginning of work is also a time of various challenges. You have to meet people, gain new knowledge and work on new tasks. As you solve problems and explore opportunities, your professional talents and skills will grow. The proposed checklist lists actions that will help novice managers develop a strategy for success and prevent potential problems. It summarizes how to get comfortable in a new place, build relationships, and prove that you are able to cope with the tasks.

Check list

1. Determine a reasonable approach

At a new job, it is important to strike a balance between confidence in one's competence and the need for knowledge. Excessive self-confidence can look like arrogance and cause a deterioration in relations with colleagues.

Excessive modesty, on the other hand, will allow people to doubt your abilities. Set a reasonable balance: demonstrate faith in your abilities and at the same time a willingness to listen and learn.

2. Start getting into a worker role

First, you must understand the work that you have been assigned and understand what is expected of you.

• Make sure you are clear about your responsibilities, reporting lines and authority levels.
• Learn about current systems, structures, processes and procedures.
• Discuss with the line manager and, if necessary, revise work goals and objectives.
• Make the most of the induction program designed for you.
• Feel free to ask questions if you need to clarify something or get additional information.
• Start getting familiar with the day-to-day activities of the team (department).

3. Use the new role for change

With a new role, you have the opportunity to implement changes and improvements - within reason, of course. Don't rush to study the situation properly.

However, try to define from the very beginning the vision of your role, goals for yourself and for the team. Once you've prioritized your planned changes, decide who you need to consult with. And before moving forward, discuss your ideas with these people.

4. Build relationships

Your success depends in no small part on building relationships within the organization. It is necessary to strike a balance between receiving additional tasks and good relations with colleagues. Preoccupation with personal affairs should not lead to indifference and disregard for the interests of employees.

The focus should, of course, be on interaction with the team and immediate supervisor, but don't ignore contacts and connections at other levels of the organization. Remember, relationships require patience and time. Do not refuse to participate in social events. This will allow you to get to know the people in the organization better, and your colleagues to understand you.

5. Reach out to key contacts

First of all, identify key people, that is, those who need to be influenced to solve their problems and extract the maximum benefit for themselves and the organization. One-on-one meetings with such people are extremely beneficial. You will begin to understand their role and priorities, which means it will be easier to get support for your initiatives and planned changes.

Consider finding the right mentor within the organization. Such help is never superfluous, especially for a novice manager. Thanks to a mentor, you will be able to learn about the real principles of the functioning of the company - management style, internal culture and relationships.

6. Study the organizational culture

The functioning of each organization has its own characteristics. If you continue to act in your usual manner, there will be a risk of not getting along with colleagues, which may result in confrontation. Keep this in mind and carefully observe "how everything works here." It is important to understand that the principles and values ​​declared by the organization do not always coincide with the real ones. If you have any doubts, seek advice from colleagues.

Be flexible, think about how to adapt your personal or work style to new conditions. As a result, you will be able to achieve recognition and become a full member of the team. But this does not mean that you have to break your character. The main thing is to find the right balance to be yourself and at the same time adapt to the new environment.

7. Learn Informal Organization Structures

Every organization has informal power structures that operate independently of formal structures and channels of communication. Carefully monitor the functioning of formal and informal structures in a new company for you. Networking and networking will give you a better understanding of how and when to use formal or informal channels most effectively.

8. Think about principles

If you accepted the job offer, you must share the goals and objectives of the organization. But it will be useful to assess how your personal position coincides with them. The real and declared values ​​of companies often diverge.

Careful observation of people's behavior reveals the extent of this discrepancy. Determine for yourself to what extent you are ready to accept the real principles of the functioning of the organization, without sacrificing your own. Build your position and relationships with colleagues according to this decision.

9. Suggest Design Changes

The ability to build relationships with colleagues is very important. However, they took you to a new job not for this, but for the skill, knowledge and experience that you offered. Therefore, do not think that you should become in the organization "like everyone else", another "clone". You are able to see the picture with fresh eyes and make a significant contribution to the matter. The main thing is to act correctly.

But first you need to understand why before you the work was carried out in this way and not otherwise. There are always reasons for this - legal or technical.

On the other hand, as a rule, there are more efficient ways to solve the same problems. Start with questions that interest you. Don't just deny or criticize, but try to keep your approach constructive.

10. Show off your abilities

Do not immediately try to convince the employer that he did not make a mistake by hiring you. Map out a simple task or small improvement that, over the next few weeks, will be a relatively easy win and success. This will give colleagues confidence in your abilities, and you will build confidence in yourself. In addition, you will gain additional time to solve more complex problems and tasks.

11. Negotiate Feedback and Review Success

Feedback can be received through analytical reports of the organization or through the system of management activities. But the real help in adapting to the new situation will be frequent and regular feedback from the immediate supervisor and colleagues.

Ask them about their impressions of your work, try to arrange periodic meetings to discuss your progress. Take time to evaluate your achievements and set priorities. Don't torture yourself with guilt about mistakes, consider them a natural part of the learning process. Do everything right as possible, learn from experience and move on. But keep in mind: over time, you will no longer forgive mistakes. You are expected to quickly get used to and begin to effectively perform your duties.

12. Make the Most of Your Learning and Development Programs

After you adapt to your new role, you need to assess your strengths and weaknesses and consider what can be improved. Find out how the organization conducts training and development. Is there an annual company needs assessment process? Are trainings and/or curatorial programs available?

Take advantage of formal and non-formal learning opportunities - it doesn't have to be time-consuming or expensive.

Look at your work from the perspective of an organization and assess how closely your department or project's objectives align with overall plans and goals.

Chat with colleagues to keep up to date with what and how they are doing. Study the environment in which the company operates, especially if you work in an industry that is unfamiliar to you.

Who is most interested in the company's activities? Customers or, for example, suppliers? Who is the main competitor? What local, national and international factors influence the organization? Do your best to learn more: talk to knowledgeable people both inside and outside the firm, read departmental newspapers, visit industry-specific web portals, subscribe to relevant online news, join relevant online communities.

14. Take care of yourself

Starting a new job is stressful. Adapting to strangers, unfamiliar surroundings is very tiring. Until you are fully in the work role, be sure to make time in your schedule for physical and mental health activities. The urge to work hard and impress is understandable, but don't let yourself be pushed around the clock. Where feats are not expected of you, act in the usual rhythm. Eat well, find time to rest and relax.

As a manager, try to avoid:

• Grossly violate established procedures and norms of behavior;
• Compare the new organization with the previous place of work;
• Making statements like: “When I worked at X, we did it this way and that way”;
• Build a know-it-all out of yourself;
• Act like the majority, contrary to their principles;
• Get bogged down in daily routine;
• Focus too much on company-provided benefits, such as a company car, mobile phone, or health insurance;
• Focus on the little things;
• Forget to learn from mistakes.

Job change: how to join a new team?

When changing jobs, a very important point is the adaptation of an employee in a new place - not only to new responsibilities, but also to people. Psychological adaptation in a team is the most important thing, because how a person feels in a new place at first depends on the effectiveness of his work in the future. Here are some tips to help you adapt quickly to a new team:

1. You can't make a first impression twice. Coming to a new team, remember that 50% of a stable opinion about a person is formed during the first one and a half minutes of communication, in this vein, everything matters: your appearance, and how and what you say, and your inner mood.

• Come on time. If it is still difficult to adapt to the route to work, at first it is better to have time to spare.
• Dress appropriately the position and organization in which you are ALREADY working. You ALREADY qualify for this organization, since the employer chose you, so keep and maintain this image.
• Listen more. This will allow you to quickly understand how the internal "kitchen" of the company is arranged - any information you receive will help you to one degree or another.
• Be confident and calm. You have ALREADY been taken to this organization, now your task is to study the internal structure in order to adapt faster; remember those moments when you felt calm, imagine some image that is pleasant for you and periodically restore it in your imagination - this will help you cope with difficulties in the beginning.
• Gather information about traditions. If it is customary in this organization to celebrate the arrival of a new employee, this cannot be ignored. In addition, in an informal setting, communication will be more comfortable.

2. Job seekers, remember: we can't please everyone. This is the norm. Despite the fact that we really want to please the employer even during the interview, and especially in the first days of work, remember that you are still an individual, and trying to please with all your behavior is not only utopian, but also stupid. Such behavior can even alienate the employer.

• Be friendly and open, smile.
• Be natural (both your excitement and the “special observance” of your new colleagues will be natural).
• Learn the "rules of the game". What was acceptable in a previous organization may not be suitable in a new one. You need to earn the authority and attention of colleagues, and this requires both effort and time. Avoid evaluating the performance of new colleagues.
• Choose the right communication style. Speak with colleagues in their language. Use the words and expressions of your new colleagues, subconsciously they will perceive you as “one of their own.” · Ask questions. The support of a new employee by experienced colleagues in solving work issues shows you from the side of a good employee who is focused on the work process.
• Find your "adviser". This may be a person who is reputable and experienced in the company. Enlisting his support, you will feel more confident.

3. In order to adapt to the new, it takes time, and everyone has their own. It is absolutely certain that one person can join the team in a week, another will need a month. On average, one month is enough for both the employer and the applicant to understand whether they are suitable for each other or not.

Give yourself time to "look around." This applies not just to official duties, but also to the general environment, people and the norms and rules of the company. Excessive zeal can play a trick on you. Thus, dear applicants, remember the most important thing:

TREAT A NEW JOB AS A NEW OPPORTUNITY. SMILE. LISTEN. BE OPEN TO NEW EXPERIENCES. OBSERVE THE RULES. Good luck! Your work is waiting for you!

There are many mobile and energetic job seekers in the labor market today. If until quite recently it was an honor to work in one place for a long time, today such a desire for stability looks strange. In order to improve your material and career level in the modern world, you must be able to easily adapt to new working conditions and environment. How to get used to a new job? Some tips can be found in this article.

Mobility is the norm

As already mentioned, the labor market has undergone tremendous changes in recent years. Moving from one place of work to another every two or three years is becoming a normal practice. For various reasons, this approach is good, both for those who change jobs and for employers. But to fully reap the benefits of regularly changing jobs, one can easily adapt to an unfamiliar situation with an unknown environment. This must be learned.

Where to begin?

When choosing a job, you should carefully study the information about the company of interest on the Internet. It's great if friends work there. Then you need to ask them in more detail.

More questions should be asked during the interview. It is necessary to think over in advance a list of points that should be clarified about the position that is supposed to be taken. The more you can learn everything, the easier it will be to avoid mistakes at first.

If the opportunity arises, you can walk around the workspace, see how people work, assess the atmosphere and mood.

First weeks in a new place

Approximately the first two months, newly hired, going through a period of hard adaptation. Usually that period of time is comparable to a trial period. Despite the fact that the beginner tries very hard, his performance is half as good as it could be. This is because it takes a lot of effort to get used to it.

What can you advise the applicant here? In order to present yourself correctly, you must first carefully study the situation. It is necessary to find out what features of management and communication exist in the company, what values ​​​​are adhered to in the team? At first, you should talk less about yourself or about how everything was arranged at the previous place of work. We need to listen more to new colleagues.

First you need to find out how communication is built in the new team. Learn about the traditions that have already formed in the organization. We must try to observe more, participate in various events, dine in company with colleagues. Joint spending of free time with the team will contribute to the speedy adaptation.

During the first weeks in a new place, you should not enter into conflicts. In addition, every effort must be made to achieve the best results in work activities. The probationary period is those days when all completed tasks will be taken especially meticulously.

The behavior of the applicant in the first months of work should be verified. Do not immediately express criticism, first you need to find positive moments. If the position involves the ability to change something at a new place of work, then you should not do it right off the bat. First you need to take a closer look, praise worthy undertakings, and only then gradually propose and introduce changes.

There are newcomers who try not to stick out at all. This is also incorrect behavior. We must try to get used to the new organization. Find out about career opportunities. Show enough initiative.

Three to four months later

The second stage of adaptation is called optimistic. By this time, the beginner has already got used to it. Now he knows his colleagues quite closely and is well versed in the organization. The former applicant knows his duties and decently performs them.

But the team has not yet let the new employee close enough to forgive him for mistakes in the specifics of corporate communication. At this time, it is very important not to forget, so as not to do stupid things and not lose your job.

Getting used to a new person in different types of organizations takes different times. The fastest way to become your own is in business. In some bureaucratic structures, getting used to can take six months or a year.

Consolidation in the team

On average, six months (rarely a year) after the date of employment, a person enters a period of final adaptation. Now all the traditions, rules and internal etiquette adopted in the company are clear to the employee. He already feels confident when he performs his duties. He understands his place in the team and has developed his own style of communication with people.

To summarize everything that has been said, then from the first arrival at the workplace to the last stage of adaptation, a person perceives very differently what happens in a new team. In the first months of work, he may like someone, and annoy someone. Then the attitude can change completely. But after six months, everything is perceived adequately.

An interesting video on the topic of the article:

Any person who has changed jobs at least once knows that it is quite difficult to get settled in a new team and conditions. But getting used to the conditions is much easier than many people think. Finding a job is difficult, but for many it is much more difficult to fit into a team and get used to new conditions.

Some employees, when they become nervous, simply begin to irritate management and other people. Everything falls apart, as a result, the trial period is not passed, the person is fired.

Each specialist must understand that he is not unique. Even if he has several higher educations and extensive work experience, it will be quite difficult to join a new team. Yes, he will quickly find a common language with the company's management, but with colleagues. If he is too ambitious, he can constantly get trouble from new colleagues, in the form of “setups”. You need to carefully approach the issue of adaptation. Not everyone can adapt to new working conditions, but we will teach you how to do it.

Own information and peace of mind

Personal qualities are the key to success. It is necessary to possess such qualities as self-control, resistance to stress, struggle with inconvenience (out of an uncomfortable situation). An active position, high motivation, this is a person who can overcome the fear of new conditions.

You will be able to get used to the conditions in a short time. A large flow of information that will be poured out on an employee in the early days must be correctly distributed. It is better to write down everything, and also write down the names of colleagues, and in the future refer to them by name. If necessary, by name and patronymic.

The employer will of course tell the situation to the employee when hiring. Will let you know about all the details. But in most cases, in large organizations, the leaders themselves do not know what exactly is going on in the team, how people contact each other. And this information is quite difficult to find out, since no one takes out "dirty linen in public." People are adults and do not intend to complain about each other. So after you have to join the team, the specialist will see that the words of the leadership are very superficial. And what is happening inside the team is just “hell”. These are words, well, things like that happen.

An employee can independently walk and get to know each individual employee. Understand who and how treats newcomers in the enterprise. If someone does not want to communicate, do not force him to do so. Over time, take a closer look and understand what exactly is missing for you in order to find an approach to an inaccessible person. Be sure to be with the team for the first time.

People work until 10 pm, but this is not a mandatory procedure, it's just that the team decided for itself. If a white crow appears, it is unlikely that it will ever be accepted. But you can agree, for example, if you have small children, then for sure everyone will understand your situation and will not insist.

At the interview, try not to tell the manager everything in colors. Leave out some of the details of your success. For example, you know how to do something perfectly, you don’t need to embellish it, but mention it in passing.

As a result, when the time comes to work, you will show all your talent and the leader will definitely like it. He will praise you in front of other colleagues. And they, in turn, will look closely at you, they will understand that you are the person who can help if necessary.

To know everything in the enterprise, you need to make a friend and do it again unobtrusively. Show small signs of attention to a person who is attractive to you and it doesn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman. You can simply approach the employee you like and offer to briefly explain the internal routine of the organization. As a result, you will be able to get used to the conditions of the new job.

Well, the first working days, when they pass, you will already become completely your own. Also, try not to argue or take sides with anyone. It’s better to be on the sidelines for the first few days and just watch how someone behaves in a dispute. This knowledge will be useful to you in the future. You can deal with difficult situations.
