 GO BACK TO THE BASICS – YOUR ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING!

When you were younger, your mother or father probably told you often to “lose the attitude.” This statement could not ring truer now that you are an adult and want to find yourself in a new career. Your attitude speaks volumes about you.

While you will be trained and have some experience under your belt, you must realize that you are NEW to the position you are in. You must prove yourself to your boss and coworkers.

ASK QUESTIONS

NEVER be afraid to ask questions. Let us repeat that – NEVER be afraid to ask questions. In fact, employers love it when you ask questions because it means you are interested in the position, you have a willingness to learn, and you are progressing in your position.

Employees who never ask questions and do not understand a concept will make mistakes and cost the company in the end. You should never hesitate to ask a coworker or management a question you may have.

On a side note, keep in mind that the more you ask, the more you learn.

TAKE NOTES

Taking notes may seem trivial to you when you start a new career, but notes are vital to your success. It cannot be stressed enough that you should arrive at your interview AND the first day of the job with a notebook and pen in hand.

Employees who take notes will prosper and avoid that awkward moment where you must ask your coworker the same question five times because you never wrote it down.

BE RESPONSIBLE

Responsibility is HUGE. You want to be responsible in many ways. First, you should be responsible by dressing the part and arriving on time. Second, you want to be responsible by owning any mistakes you make and asking questions along the way. Lastly, you oversee your own success, so do not be afraid to make strides.

BE OPEN TO FEEDBACK – YOUR EMPLOYER WANTS TO SEE YOU SUCCEED

You will quickly learn that Feedback is part of the job. It can be hard to not take advice and criticism personally. Instead, you want to take all feedback as a learning tool and apply it.

Your employer WANTS to see you succeed and that is why they are providing you with feedback in the first place. To be successful in your new role, you should always apply the feedback to your situation and even ask for feedback when you think you need it.
