Finding a job is difficult. But what might be even more uhtoward is fig?uring out how to get used to the new environment that you are working in when you do finally manage to get a new job. Here are some tips for dealing with the adjustment period.
Be friendly to people. Any job is better when you are friends of the peo?ple that you are working with. You should be friendly to everyone that you are meeting. Actually listen to what these people tell you. Most people like making friends with those who are willing to listen.
Stay positive. One of the things that make it difficult to adjust to a new job is negativity. If you automatically(无意识地)make judgements about things at the office that you aren't going to like,then you're going to find it difficult to approach the job with a positive attitude. Try to focus on the things that you like about the work and stay away from anyone that is saying negative things on the job.
Keep relaxed. Accept the fact that you probably aren't going to get used to the new job immediately. You are going to make some mistakes;you are going to get confused or you're going to confuse others by doing things dif?ferently from what they're used to. Be relaxed. The thing that you really need to get used to a new job is just time.
Getting used to a new job or a new work environment isn't easy* but it doesn't have to be particularly difficult either. Get to know the people that you are working with and the unspoken rules of the place by paying atten?tion to what is going on around you and accepting that it's going to take some time to get used to it all! After you have adjusted to your new job* the way to do the job well is coming to the first question.
