Here are 7 tips for young professionals starting a new career:
1. Dress for success. Start by recreating your wardrobe and sprucing up
your appearance. Dress appropriately for the job you‟ve landed.
Remember that first impressions can be lasting. If you‟re dressed to
impress, you probably will. “One size doesn‟t fit all,” Haefner says.
“People assume „professional‟ means a suit, but it depends on the
company or industry”.
2. Relax. If you exhibit apprehension, you may not be taken seriously. Be
aware of your nervous habits and try to control them. If you ramble when
you‟re nervous, make it a point to limit your chatter.
3. Be confident. Don‟t be narcissistic, but show your colleagues that you
deserve to be there. Don‟t hesitate to share your thoughts, and believe
in your ability to succeed in your new position. One way to exhibit
confidence: invite your colleagues to lunch. Haefner says this tactic
shows that you aren‟t the typical quiet new employee.
4. Be innovative. From day one, confirm that you bring something new to
the table. If this applies to your new position, be sure to offer your boss
or colleagues ideas for how to enhance the product or company. Most
young professionals in a new job take the back seat the first few days,
but Haefner suggests jumping right in. “Be there to contribute, or to
volunteer for a project when nobody else raises their hand”.
5. Separate your personal and professional lives. Once you‟re settled
in, avoid making personal calls, sending personal emails or taking long
lunch breaks. Show that you are dedicated to your new job and that you
want to be there. If you have nothing to do, offer to take on another task
or help a colleague who looks overloaded. Not only will you impress the
boss, but the days will fly by.
6. Communicate. Always be in touch and in tune. Speak up and ask
questions, make suggestions and periodically check in with your boss.
“Listening is just as important as speaking,” Haefner says. “Start a
conversation with your boss to ask how you‟re doing”.
7. Challenge yourself. Just because you did some research before your
interview doesn‟t mean you know enough to be successful there.
Haefner says it can take time to get to know the company itself, but it is
important to do research, look back at old projects, and find out what has
worked for the company or your team in the past.1
