A New Job
Topic: Friends/Family
Well, I have a friend who started a new job this week. I'm looking forward to hearing how it went.

Starting a new job is a great time to change how your career-life is going. See, each time we start somewhere new, we come to the new place with all of the experiences we gained at our old job. But where you might have learned something that made you want to change your working style at the old job, it would have been hard to get your old co-workers to accept the "New You." At the new gig, no one knows the "Old You," so you can walk in with those "New You" ideas and put them into place from the first day.

Unfortunately, most of us reach back to our last "first day on the new job" experience as we work our new first day. And that means we set ourselves up for some of the same hassles we had last time.

To my friend I say: I hope you had a great first week. They are lucky to have you - make sure they treat you that way!
