How to Impress Your Boss on the New Job?


The D-day has come. You are on the first day of your dream job. True, you are quite excited and a bit nervous too, but nothing should prevent you from putting your best show in front of your employer. Follow these five tips and see the difference.
  1. Dress the part: Don’t think of casual items for at least one month of your joining in the new job. Be professional; don’t care about what others wear in the office. Your aim is to impress your boss with your attire. Let your dress code speak the professional you.
  2. Be before time: Getting on time is not that difficult. Being earlier, however, makes a difference. It’s when you reach at least 15 minutes earlier than your official time the boss gets the impression, “not bad”

  3. Be friendly and respectful: You are not going to lose anything if you present yourself as humble and friendly to people around you. Rather you would earn the same respect back from them – another thumps up in your career start.

  4. Take initiative: This is the best period when you can show your leadership qualities and intelligence in projects that you undertake. The general rule is that if you are a leader you will show that to others on the very first day in your office. Don’t assume that it’s all meant for the seniors. You can surely do better than them. 

  5. Stay ahead of your deadline: This is yet another way to impress your boss. Being faster and more efficient is always a plus. Push yourself hard and get the work done much earlier than others. There’s no doubt that you will get a pat from your boss.
