Being in a new job brings in lot of apprehensions, anxiety, and do’s and don’ts. Here is what should be done after getting a new job...
- What is it that your supervisor expects: Always be clear of your supervisor’s expectations. Whether your supervisor is detail oriented or does he like to see only the big picture, it is relevant to know if your supervisor wants you to send him documents for validation before you send them out. Keep in mind that your supervisor has been in this job more than you have and he knows what pleases the customers. Take tips from him whether to send a detailed report to a particular customer or a snapshot in bullet points.
- Follow the company brand guidelines: Each company has their own brand guidelines which detail out their logo, font size and colour, letter head format, etc. Be sure to follow the guidelines to the core. Always use the standard auto signatures and avoid using smiley or cartoon characters.
