Perceptions of your performance in the first few weeks on the job can persist. A common mistake when you’re assigned work is reluctance to ask clarifying questions, feeling that this may undermine how your manager and colleagues view you. The exact opposite is true – people working with you don’t want you wasting your time and theirs, so are generally open to good questions early on.
Look for ways to demonstrate initiative. During internships, some students complete the work assigned to them and then ask for more. That’s fine as far as it goes … but one student I had went one step further. She canvassed members of the team about the roadblocks to improving productivity. Meeting with her manager, she shared a summary of what she’d heard and asked whether once she’d finished her assigned work, she could tackle a couple of the biggest roadblocks.
Spend as much time with colleagues as possible. If your job is three days a week in the office with the other two optional, find out if some people are coming in on the optional days – and join them if you can.
