So, it happened: you are hired. You are now an employee of the company. Behind the excitement associated with interviews, job interviews, waiting for the decision to accept this job. Where to begin? How to build your entry into a new organization? What to be? Very obedient or independent and independent, the most beautiful or the most modest, just herself, or do you need to embellish yourself a little? Coming to a new company, you change not only your job, but also yourself.

The most important thing is the first seconds of your appearance in the company. Let everyone say that they are greeted by their clothes, but escorted by their wits, but … In fact, you will never have a second opportunity to produce the first impression. Successful workers are recognized when they show up at the door. This does not depend on what they are currently wearing, a suit or jeans. They give the impression of a strong personality due to their recognition and grooming. Yes, they know in advance what and how they wear in this company and do not stand out sharply with their clothes, especially on the first day. But at the same time they have a memorable appearance … In a word, you must have something of your own. An appearance correlated with your soul, your character, habits. That is, what is called

On the first trip to work, the inner attitude is very important. The main thing is not to get nervous: the first time for a new job is not scary, but terribly interesting! Life gives you another chance - smile at him. And let the people you meet for the first time see this smile. The same applies to meeting new bosses. We often forget that bosses are people too. But don't smile to please. Smile at your new colleagues and bosses, because you like them, because they are part of the new thing that will make up the next segment of your life. There is something good in every person. Find that good and they will be your friends.

Say hello first. Remember that according to etiquette, a lady greets and extends her hand first, a man waits when he has such an opportunity. The handshake should not be too energetic, but … If you only knew how many contacts failed, how many deals were canceled solely due to a weak or painful handshake! Many, yes, unfortunately, too many pay increased attention to this, are guided by this in their further decisions. A weak-willed handshake is forgiven only, perhaps, to creative people, artists, designers.

When meeting colleagues, immediately express your willingness to help in whatever way you can, be attentive to others, help, seek advice. Sincerity of disposition towards people, genuine interest is a sure way to quickly win the sympathy and even love of others.

A few more caveats. Be prepared for the fact that not everyone will be happy with your appearance in the company. Everyone has their own business, for some - you are a competitor in this eternal struggle for a place in the sun. You have to break this ice with your openness, sincerity and professionalism.
