// By Maja Skubella

You have successfully completed your departure from the old job. In order for you to get started, we have put together six tips for you.

Start successfully in the new job

Congratulations: The old job is now behind you. All the things you needed to fix for your old company could be ticked off on your to-do list.

Finally, you can fully concentrate on the new job and look forward to it. These 6 tips should be considered.

1 Ask questions: It is very important that you ask questions in good time! Don't be afraid that you could "bother" someone. If you don't end up doing things the way you want, you have to stand for them. Find out what is planned and how exactly the induction should take place. These are questions you should have answered before your first official day at work. Ask your direct contact person for content and organizational questions. Also inquire about informal rules in the company.

2 Watch a lot! Just at the beginning it is important that you observe a lot. This way, you'll find out who really has the say, how the tone and how habitus is to customers. You'll also find out if there are any rules you should stick to.

3 Your new colleagues - The first day. Welcome all colleagues on the first day, turned to a firm handshake. Sit or sit down to them and talk. It is a mixture of material and small talk. Private things you do not have to completely exclude, but not too much and not too deep.

4 Celebrate your debut! Look what is common in your new company. In any case, you should not start at the beginning. I recommend to wait a bit to get to know the practices of your new department. You can also ask what is customary and when it suits best.

5 Do a guidebook! Keep a journal of the first 100 days. Sit down in the evening, arrange your thoughts, write down impressions and write down questions or a to-do list. When writing down positive impressions and small initial difficulties that you write down the balance should be.

6 Get feedback in time! Feedback is important to you! The more the better! At the latest after the first six weeks, a feedback call should be made. Always ask what you can do better. Thank you for your criticism and see it not as an attack, but as an opportunity to optimize things. If you can not cope with something, talk to them.
