Navigating the First 90 Days of a New Job [presentation]

You've got your degree. You've gone through multiple interviews and landed a job at a company you think will be complementary to your skills and career objectives. You think you're ready for your first day in a week's time but yet you're a bit scared. How do you navigate the first 90 days of your new job?

• What if the boss you thought was great in the interview turns out to be a nightmare?
• What if your boss is great but leaves or is replaced within your first 90 days?
• Should you make friends with people at work or just keep to yourself?
• What if they job you thought you accepted turns out to be something different?

These are just some of the questions that new hires ask themselves, whether they are starting their first job out of college or their fifth. The truth is that there are no guarantees in life and navigating human resource and political landscape of a new company is simply not something they teach us in school.

Luckily, by reading this, you're a step closer to a better understanding how to succeed in a new position.
