Getting the job is part 1, passing probation is part 2. #careercoach #passingprobation #newjob

Got a job? Awesome. Let's talk about what you need to do to fuck off probation in your first 90 days. Number 1, know what the fuck your expectations are. If you don't know what you need to do to be successful in your job, you're not going to be successful. Number 2, organize regular one-on-ones with your manager if they haven't organized them for you already. If they're a good organization on top of their onboarding, hopefully they will have this shit sorted. Number 3, figure out who your key stakeholders are. Who are the people that matter to you in your role in this business? Organize meetings with them, go get a coffee, whatever it is, just get to know those people. 4, similar to your expectation setting, know what you need to be across in terms of training by the end of that probation period, whether it's 3 months or 6 months. Because the thing is, if you get to the end of your probation and you didn't know what the fuck you needed to do to be successful, you are setting yourself up to fail from the get-go. Now, a lot of places are getting much better at Providing a thorough onboarding process so you know what the fuck you should be doing. But a lot of places still don't. So don't be the person that just expects the company's gonna be looking after you and then you have a meeting at your probation and like, sorry, you didn't hit the mark. And you're like, well, I didn't even know what the fucking mark was. Figure out what that is so you're covering yourself for that meeting and you pass your probation. Okay, cool.
