Starting a new job? Your first 90 days can really shape how you're seen in that company.
Here's how to make the right impression in your first 30 days.
Part 1 is all about listening, learning, and building rapport with your team.
It can be tempting to jump in with "my old company used to do it like this."
That might be a great idea, and it might even be transferable — but until you know the company well, you don't know that for sure.
Raising problems too early can come across as criticising a process before you understand it.
It can also put people on edge before you've built any trust.
And you might be missing the real reason something's done a certain way.
Right now, the best thing you can do is take notes, ask questions, and hold off on any changes — even if you've already spotted a few.
Stay tuned for days 31–60, where we'll tell you the best way to contribute and solve any problems you've spotted 👇
