First Post, From the New Kid . . .
It’s never easy being the new kid. No one likes it. But, as much as I thought I’d hate being the new kid, everyone here at MS&L Digital has gone out of their way to be friendly and to make me feel welcome.
With that being said, it’s still hard coming into an environment, where everyone already knows each other, they already have their own inside jokes, and they already seem to have this sense of community or family.
Seeing as I’ve been the “new kid,” a time or two before, I’ve come up with a few things that can make the transition to “seasoned employee” easier:
1. Learn everyone’s names. You don’t want to be caught in a situation where you should know someone’s name.
2. Invite a couple of coworkers to lunch. It’s a great way to get to know your coworkers. Plus, who doesn’t love food?
3. Be sure to join in the “water cooler” conversations. It’s a great way to let your personality shine through.
4. Do your job, and do it well. It may seem like a given, but you were hired to do a job…so do it!
Follow these tips, and you’ll be feeling less like the new kid, and more like a part of the group, in no time.
