It’s all in the preparation.

When you start a new job, it is important to be as well prepared as possible in advance so that you can have the best possible experience on your first day.

Get your thoughts in order by checking out the company’s website and educate yourself as much as you can before the meeting. While you are on the website, have a look at the “About Us” area. On occasion, businesses will list their staff in this section, allowing you to become acquainted with the people who will be working with you. You might also want to look out your company’s presence on social media in order to learn more about it.

Make sure you’re ready! Make it a goal to complete as much of your own personal preparation the night before. As tomorrow will be a busy day, you should prepare for it in advance however you can, whether that be by organizing your clothes, preparing your lunch, or even just getting to bed earlier.

Promptness

When you are adequately prepared, being prompt should come naturally because there is nothing that can possibly hold you down! It is my hope that by performing these activities, you will develop habits, and that you will be able to make it a priority to be on time for meetings, workdays, and chores related to your career.

Also, bear in mind that employers really want to be able to rely on their employees; being punctual and not having to be reminded of things or turning up late is a significant part of being able to do so successfully.

Keep an open mind for new information.

Be willing to learn new things and make an effort to retain as much information as you can by keeping an open mind during training. Additionally, make an effort to remember this information, and as a general rule, I advise writing things down. Always keep in mind that your education will never be complete. This presents an excellent opportunity for you to increase the breadth and depth of your skill set by gaining new knowledge.

Find a method of organization that is effective for you and use that.

It is essential to maintain order in order to perform tasks in the most effective manner. This could involve organizing notes, files, deadlines, and even establishing reminders for yourself. If you are having trouble staying organized at work, one option is to inquire about the organizational practices of your manager or a colleague.

Personally, I like to set up the most of my organization in my Outlook calendar, and I also like to keep a running list of things that I need to get done.

Get out of your comfort zone and try something new!

Although this may come naturally to some people, for others, stepping outside of their comfort zone is an ongoing challenge. It is strange to consider, yet right now will be the time when it will be easiest for you to step outside of your comfort zone. There is a good chance that no one at this new company knows you very well at all. Even while isolating oneself from other people might seem like the most convenient option, you shouldn’t do so.

You can get to know your coworkers better by doing some or all of the following:

• Take your lunch break in the breakroom, and make an effort to get to know your coworkers as people in addition to their professional roles.
• Attend the cocktail hour or coffee chat, both of which are optional.
• Register for a volunteer opportunity that is open to the entire workplace.

Ask Questions

I am aware of what it is you are considering. Since I was employed by the company to fill this capacity, you should expect that I am familiar with how to perform the job. Put an end to that ridiculous train of thought right now. Yes, you should have a general understanding of how to complete the work, but there is no way you should be able to complete the entire job without having questions answered.

If you are too hesitant to pose the question in front of the whole group, ask your manager or a coworker in a one-on-one setting instead. (But if you are doubting something, there is a good chance that someone else on your team is as well!)

Try not to jump to conclusions.

It can be difficult to let your guard down when you are meeting new people and being the “new” person. As a result, you may make assumptions about the people you are meeting. Please explain what I mean by this.

Take, for instance, the scenario in which you asked a coworker through email for something, and it has been a week since you sent the message, but they have not yet responded… You begin to entertain the idea that perhaps they are ignoring you because you are a newcomer… They are unable to check their emails since they are dealing with something really important right now.

I will caution you not to jump to conclusions or form opinions in your head before you have enough information to properly assess the situation.

Maintain a Receptive Attitude Towards Feedback.

Some individuals are able to take criticism quite well, while others are not. Just keep in mind that being open to criticism at an early stage will make you a far more valuable part of the team for the duration of your time there.

If for any reason you are not receiving feedback, you should inquire about receiving feedback from your boss. This will also demonstrate that you have a lot of initiative in the function that you are in.

Make an effort to be the best version of who you are.

A new place of employment, a new position, and a new company all await you. This might be viewed as a new beginning in some respects! Make an effort to fully engage with this novel experience and make it the very best it can possibly be. It’s possible that your prior job was highly demanding and overwhelming. It’s also possible that you didn’t feel like you were treated fairly by your previous employer. Remember that everything that happened before is now in the past. Take some time to appreciate this new season of change, and do your best not to allow the past distract you from the present.

Set Boundaries

When I started my first job that required me to work full-time, I was offered this piece of advice, and to this day, I am so glad that I heeded it. Some limits that you can begin to establish right now include the following:

• Be familiar with standard business hours and expectations, as well as the times during which you are willing to work.
• After-hours abstinence from checking your work email.
• Stepping away from one’s work and taking some time off.

Although to some people these may appear extreme, we believe that by following this advice you will be able to keep a healthy balance between your professional and personal life and avoid burnout.

ইন্টারভিউ তে আপনি যদি এই ভুলগুলি করেন – তবে আপনি বেকার থাকবেন। আপনি যাই করুন না কেন, কখনই এই প্রশ্নের সাথে একটি সাক্ষাত্কার শেষ করবেন না, “আপনি আমার সম্পর্কে আর কী জানতে চান?

অসফল প্রার্থীরা যা করেন:

• Have “poor body language or didn’t look the interviewer in the eye” – Most people can eliminate these problems in advance by practicing and role playing. Failure to do so tells employers that you were not willing to prepare.

• “Forget this is a selling situation…and don’t ask for the job” – If you don’t sell yourself during the interview, you will never get the job. Failure to ask is presumptuous.

• “Think that interviewing is a ‘two-way street’” – Don’t let the dialogue between you and the interviewer fool you into thinking that this is a standard conversation. It is not. Indeed, your conversation with the interviewer is a “one-way street.” He or she has numerous other job applicants to interview. You must prove yourself before you can engage in anything that remotely resembles a normal discussion between equals.

• “Don’t know what they’re really selling to an employer” – Great salespeople stress the benefits and not the features of their products. Do the same for yourself during a job interview. Explain how your attributes are valuable to the prospective employer.

• “Don’t understand or think about what the employer is asking from the employer’s point of view” – If you want to understand interviewers better so you know what they are looking for, try to put yourself in their position. In any discussion or negotiation, it helps to take on the other person’s point of view.

• “Adopt an ‘I think great on my feet’ attitude” – Never try to ad-lib through a job interview. It just doesn’t work and it makes you vulnerable to potential embarrassment.

যারা চাকরির ইন্টারভিউতে এগিয়ে যায় – তারা জানে ইন্টারভিউ এর শেষে কীভাবে দুর্দান্ত প্রশ্ন জিজ্ঞাসা করতে হয়। আপনার সাক্ষাত্কারকারীকে এই প্রশ্নগুলি জিজ্ঞাসা করুন:

• “How long have you been here?” – People like to talk about themselves. This question provides a good opportunity to get the interviewer to open up about the firm.

• “Are there any internal candidates?” – This is important information. Sometimes, managers plan to hire someone from within their organizations, but they talk to a few external candidates to make their job search activities appear more legitimate.

• “Why are there no internal candidates for this job?” – No internal candidates may mean that you are walking into a minefield. Maybe no one in the firm wants this particular job. If that’s the case, it’s better to find out before you commit to the role.

• “What is the most difficult part of the job?” – The answer the interviewer provides will enable you to adjust your presentation to focus on the strengths you can bring to this challenging aspect of the job.

• “What is the next person (or groups of persons) I will be interviewing with like?” – If you are under serious job consideration, you will normally speak with more than just one person, particularly at a large corporation. Make your follow-up interview as positive an experience as possible by learning all you can about that interviewer, including his or her role in the company, personality, likes and dislikes, and so on.

• “Based on our interview, do you have any concerns about my ability to do the job?” – If the answer is yes, ask the interviewer to be explicit. Deal forthrightly with each concern. If the answer is no, then immediately ask if the person will recommend hiring you. If that answer also is yes, quickly assume the sale. Say, “That’s great. I will contact (the ultimate hiring authority) next week so we can work out all the various details.”

• “Why do you want to hire me? What did I demonstrate to you that the other candidates didn’t?” – The answers to these questions will let you know how much leverage you have (or don’t have) when it comes to negotiating salary and benefits.

• “Why have people in the past failed to do well at this job?” – Listen closely to the response to this question. The answer the interviewer provides may warn you against accepting the job if it is offered.

আপনার সেরা উত্তরগুলির জন্য পরামর্শ সহ এখানে কয়েকটি সাধারণ প্রশ্ন রয়েছে:

• “Tell me about yourself and your last few jobs.” – This is not a request to hear your entire life story. Stick to your career and professional accomplishments.

• “What was the most difficult part of your last two jobs?” – This question provides a terrific opportunity for you to convey that you gladly accept challenges. Explain what made your last two jobs tough, but follow up by explaining how you overcame those difficulties. Discuss your job challenges in a positive, upbeat way. Use anecdotes to reinforce your narrative.

• “What is your management style?” – This is a tricky question. If you label yourself as a compassionate leader or a “take no prisoners” manager, you may hurt your chances with an interviewer who may want to hire the opposite type of person. Instead, explain that your management style depends on the circumstances. Stress that you have always been able to get your direct reports to work hard, and to meet or surpass their objectives.

• “What do people like most about you? What do they like least?” – In terms of likeability, your interviewer wants to hear that people like working with you. Say that you know how to communicate, how to handle yourself during emergencies, and that you never quit. Treat the latter question lightly: “I can’t cook” or “I am terrible at golf.”

• “How do you deal with people…you don’t like and who don’t like you in the workplace?” – Your reaction to this question matters more than your answer. Treat the question as if it does not apply to you. State that you always try to stay on an even keel with all your colleagues. Explain that co-workers should treat each other with respect and that is what you always do.

• “Why did you leave your last position?” – Your response to this question will make or break your case. Answer it most carefully. Understand that “employers identify with employers.” Do not indicate that you want to leave, or did leave, your firm because management does not, or did not, like you. State that you want to grow professionally and can do so more effectively in a different environment. If you were laid off, be honest about it. Stress that you liked where you worked, but the company had unavoidable cutbacks that included you. You want to convey one main idea: You really like, or liked, your job. Whatever you do, don’t say you need a larger salary, that is the kiss of death.

• “You…stayed short periods of time in your last three jobs. What’s wrong?” – This is a tough question. Try to paint as positive a picture as you can. For example, you might say, “I made some poor career choices in the past. But I have learned from them. After a few false starts, I now know exactly what I want. Your job will be perfect for me. If you hire me, I hope to work for your organization for a long time to come.

• “Why did you leave your last job so abruptly? Or, why do you want to leave your current job?” – This is a killer question. Search for the most “antiseptic” response. One plausible answer is that you were stymied in your career and wanted a position with more responsibility. Do not criticize your current or past employer in any way. That is a surefire way to guarantee that you won’t get a job with anyone else.

• “Where do you see yourself five years from now? Or, how does this job fit into your career goals?” – Again, how you answer this question is as important as what you say. If you admit that you do not have a five-year goal, you will sink your chances. But if you answer that you want to be CEO, you will seem like a fool. One plausible response: “It’s hard to predict what will happen in five years. But I will feel a sense of accomplishment if I am making an important contribution at work.”

• “Were you fired? And, why?” – Employers understand layoffs, so, if you can, try to present your dismissal as a layoff. Most previous employers will go along with that. Tell the interviewer you liked your job. Stay away from any emotion during your discussion. If it is impossible to avoid the fact that you were fired, be direct. Tell the interviewer that despite your firing, you still like your old firm. Try to shift the discussion to previous jobs where you did well and to the good references that you have from those companies.

• “What are you currently earning? Or, what have you been earning most recently?” – Answer precisely. Don’t make it appear that you earn more than you do. That would be a terrible mistake. Sometimes, a new employer will contact your old one to see what they paid you. If your new boss learns that you lied, he or she can terminate you on the spot.

• “What kind of money would you like to earn?” – Handle this common question by saying, “I want to earn a salary that is commensurate with the contributions I can make. I am confident I can make a substantial contribution at your firm. What does your firm plan to pay for this position?”
