Be Interactive's Guide to Being a Newbie

    BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, September 12, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Outsourced sales and marketing firm Be Interactive Pty understands that starting a new job can be highly stressful. Navigating a new workplace, meeting colleagues and getting to grips with new responsibilities can be a lot to take on, especially when an individual feels as though all eyes are on them to see how they perform.

Within their own industry, Be Interactive are aware that for new contractors the environment can take people by surprise. The firm's proactive hands-on approach to marketing and their range of business development opportunities such as interactive workshops and networking events can be a little overwhelming. This is why the firm are committed to supporting new contractors in their development and have worked hard to create a friendly and inclusive work environment. The firm offer all potential candidates the opportunity to take part in a shadowing day, pairing them with an experienced contractor, allowing them to meet and get to know the people they will be working with before they start.

Be Interactive are adamant that being a newbie doesn't have to be stressful and can in fact be a fun and enjoyable experience. Here, the firm have shared their best advice to help newbies make a great impression on their first day of a new job.

In the Morning
Being late on a first day can set an unfavourable precedent and leave colleagues and managers with a poor impression of a new start. Even if an individual thinks they can be up and out the door in 20 minutes, waking up earlier gives themselves extra time to tackle unforeseen problems such as bad traffic or delayed trains. It's also wise for newbies to be conservative when it comes to choosing the right outfit for a new job. Even if a workplace has a relaxed dress code it's better to overdress than arrive in an outfit which is unsuitable or looks unprofessional.

At Work
Again, even if a workplace seems relaxed it's important to sustain a professional demeanour on a first day. This means newbies should resist the urge to check their phones or use the company internet for non-work related browsing.

Getting to Know People
Whilst newbies are bound to feel nervous, the first day of a new job is the best time to channel their inner extrovert and make an effort to talk to as many people as possible. Even if this is just a quick hello in the lobby, or sparking up conversation during lunch, it's important to connect with people on the first day. This will not only build a favourable reputation, it is also the fastest way to extinguish nerves and begin to feel settled in a new work environment.
