Unit 3

The First Day Of Work

Made by Fernanda Estrada, Javier Durán and Sergio Flores.

It may be complicated at the beginning since you enter a new place and with a different environment but don't worry here we are going to give you some tips to make this situation easier.

 

  • To start if you can find a mentor it will be awesome, the safest thing is that he already knows how the work is there and could explain more about the dynamics that are carried out

  • Build respect and show the correct way you do your job, there’s no better time to show extrovert, and to make use of your networking skills, than your first few weeks at work, you will impress others by letting them know that you were the best option.

  • Ask about the special activities that take place there and familiarize yourself with them.

  • Build a rapport with your boss, request meetings with your boss on a consistent basis to review your performance, and also to establish a rapport, he will notice your interest and you will make him feel confident so that he will take you into account for future jobs or higher job positions

 

These are a few recommendations, do not be scared, the first day of work may be complicated but with the passage of time everything will feel easier.

 

The other part is the way you act and the way you are and express yourself with your colleagues, do not try to be someone you are not, be yourself and what you need to improve, do it.

Surround yourself with people who push you to be better

 

Dealing with a new work environment 

Always when someone is going to have his first day of job is really difficult. So this information is going to help you on your first day of work.

  1. The first advice  is always be really friendly to all your co-workers, on your first day.

 2.  Something really  important is to know where  you are going to work, with who, and know all your schedules.

3.  A tip that always helps to be relaxed, cause when you are nervous you can say things you don't want etc.

4. Always try to be very  respectful with your boss and all your coworkers.

5. Try to do more things, for example if your boss wants a presentation for Friday with 5 topics,make a presentation with 10 topics and deliver it 2 days before the deadline.

 

My last advice is to eat lunch with your coworkers that is going to help you a lot to make you more friendly at the way you work.


Self introduction 

First of all, be confident, tell the other workers how you feel so they can trust in you.

 

  • One tip I can give you is to smile, remember or imagine some time you were trying to socialize with other people and they were mad, that gives you a bad impression.

 

  • Another tip is to make eye contact, don`t be shy or think you are inferior, to be confident you need to make eye contact.

 

  • You need to talk with enfasis, don't talk very low or very high, like your normal voice bot with enfasis.

  • Be yourself, if people don't like how you are don't pretend to be another person, you are perfect no matters what others think about you

Employee Issues

Podcast

Relating to people is sometimes very difficult since we all have different ways of thinking and seeing things, for this reason we almost always have problems with people because they think differently from us.

This leads us to look for different ways to have a good relationship with the people around us, regardless of the differences we may have, since this will make us find ourselves in a healthy environment.

 

If it is difficult for us to live with people in a relaxed environment, it is more difficult to relate with our coworkers since there is a tense and stressful environment and we usually collide with it a lot, for this reason we want to help you to build your relationship with your colleagues. and bosses better, for this we made a podcast and a quiz that will help you improve your professional relationships.
