Taking Up A New Job

1.Get to work on time: While this might sound trivial, the fundamentals are that you should be at your desk and ready to work at the time your shift starts. While everyone understands that once in a while you could be caught in a traffic jam, just make sure you turning up late doesn’t turn into a habit.

2.Never under-dress: Ask around, check out what’s acceptable and not. While some offices demand a formal attire, casuals are acceptable in most offices nowadays. Your colleagues and co-workers shouldn’t feel that you have dressed too casually. Also keep yourself updated with the latest reforms in fashion for parties and weekends.

3.Try to keep your voice down: Most offices have cubicles as a work space; your sharing is always interesting for the other person, right? Wrong. The occasional laughing or cursing fits you throw can be extremely disruptive to your co-workers. Not only do they get enlightened with things they never wished, but also get disturbed in their normal routine.

4.Stay away from office gossips: There’s a fine line between polite conversations and down right nosiness. We guess you don’t want to get caught in the firing range of all the back stabbing and never ending office gossips. Staying away from all this will ensure you work with a proper frame of mind.

5.The office phone’s not a PCO: While most people blatantly use office phones calling everyone and anyone they know, it’s simply not right. Do limit your personal phone calls. There’s a difference in using the office phone in making an important appointment and calling your buddy and chatting for hours.

6.Leaving on time: It’s perfectly Ok to leave on time, simply don’t shut your computer down and sit by your desk waiting for the hour to strike. People notice these actions and it’s not appreciated. Make a point to leave after your scheduled time.
