Making your job work for you
Starting a new job can feel daunting; ensuring you are
adequately prepared for this new start is our job. Having fears
about working is an entirely natural process which most people go
through so it's important to remember you're not alone.
Preparing to start your new job
You should receive a contract or letter from your employer;
we have specialist advice to help you understand all of the
information in these documents.
Getting to work on time, keeping regular hours, adopting a
positive frame of mind will all help you once you are in
employment. Approach your new start with enthusiasm, your
first day is important - make sure you know where you
are going, how to get there and who you are meeting at your
new workplace.
Starting your new job
You have the skills, but employers want to see how you can use
them effectively. You'll have the opportunity to learn more from
those with years of experience - this will be a great
chance for you to ask questions and take advantage of the guidance
you're given.
Talk to your Manager about the possibility of having
a 'buddy' or 'mentor'
.
Investigate where your HR/Personnel department is located as
they deal with your paperwork and pay and other HR-related
issues.
Success in your new job
Equipping you to deal with situations that may arise in the
workplace will ensure your success in your new job. However your
Employment Adviser will be there to help you with claiming your new
entitlements, assistance with your travel costs and expenses during
your change of payments and arranging childcare if you need it.
We know that starting a new job can be quite a change, so even
after you start your new job, we're just a phone call away if you
have any problems.
