had the honor of being able to help numerous professionals land their dream
job offers and so if this is something that you're interested in working with
me one-on-one I can give you details about that at the end of this video so
you've just started a new job and now you're wondering what do I need to do to
really make sure that I can stand out in this position in this company and be
considered for promotions in the future well my five do's and don'ts are going
to help you to start off your new position on the right foot so let's get
into it do know your learning style and use it when you get into a new job you
have to be able to absorb all of the information that tasks the duties and
the training that you're provided like a sponge but that means that you need to
understand how you learn best by knowing what your learning style is just like
when you're studying for exams in school if you find that the best way for you to
understand concepts and things is by taking notes then by all means take as
many notes as you need or if you're someone who's an audible learner meaning
that you can learn through listening to someone give you instructions then make
sure that they clearly articulate what it is that they need to share with you
or if you're someone who's a visual learner and you like looking at diagrams
or flowcharts to be able to understand what it is that you need to do then by
all means create diagrams and flowcharts if you learned by observation then make
sure that the trainer or the supervisor that's showing you what you need to do
guides you through it by giving you an example by doing it through example and
you can observe and watch how they do it you need to know what your unique
learning style is and be able to articulate that to the trainer or the
employer whoever it is that's currently training you don't be afraid to share
that with them because this actually shows competence and confidence
in yourself and you'll be able to absorb the information that you need to know
quickly and effectively do you understand how your manager likes to
Train does your trainer or manager prefer it that you ask questions at the
end after they've gone through the steps with you or do they prefer that you ask
questions as they arise if you don't know these things then it's
a good thing to bring this up right before your manager or trainer starts
getting into the information with you so that you're both on the same page and
that you'll be able to absorb the information quickly and that leads me
into the next one which is don't guess what to do because you're afraid to ask
questions if you're not sure of something ask now I get it
you're afraid to sound annoying you're afraid to annoy your new boss by asking
them questions but here's the key the way to ask questions and not sound
annoying is to make sure that you're not asking them how do I do this again that
can drive any person up the wall because they'll feel that you didn't listen
instead you want to ask them in a smart way and
so here's an example based on the training that we did together
you mentioned steps a B and C what I'm confused about is step D this is my
understanding and now fill in what your understanding is regarding step D and
then you can ask am I correct am I on the right track or am I missing
something when you ask a question that way by
going through what you already know based on what you've been taught by the
trainer or manager it shows that you were listening you're paying attention
but yes you have a little bit of confusion in a certain area and you just
want to clarify it doesn't mean that you're saying I don't know how to do it
I wasn't listening so can you just explain it all over again and this leads
me into my next point which is do ask good questions now the previous example
I gave you was an example of a good question but there are also other types
of good questions to ask the key to asking good questions is where you're
making a link from whatever it is that you're being trained to the bigger
picture for example if your boss tells you you need to create a report that
states a B and C every week a good question to ask would be okay and since
this report is being presented to senior management for decision-making what are
key areas that I should always highlight to make the report as value-added as
possible asking your question this way shows that you're linking whatever it is
that you have to do whatever Duty you're being told to the bigger picture and
finally do set mini targets for yourself and achieve them after you go through
the training process start to set mini goals for yourself on exactly what it is
that you'd like to accomplish and then go ahead and start accomplishing them
set one goal for yourself each day during those first few weeks and months
that you're on the job for example one target could be making sure that you
have all of your projects outlined on your calendar and knowing exactly what
your to-do list is for each and every project or assignment and if that's too
big of a goal for one day then you can then break that down into mini goals and
you can say I'm gonna work on this assignment this one day and understand
exactly what my requirements are for this assignment as you do this setting
mini goals for yourself and accomplishing them it's going to help
you to build your confidence and your ability to do your job well and it's
going to also lay the foundation for you to be able to make a bigger impact in
your company because once you've mastered the small things you're gonna
need a collab a ones and here's an inspirational quote that I feel is
fitting for what we're talking about today there are no secrets to success it
is the result of preparation hard work and learning from failure by : Powell
