Job Search Strategy # 10

Accelerate Your Transition

The transition from applicant to employee often is taken for granted.

Here are some suggestions for setting yourself up for success:

Clarify expectations. As you enter into a new role, many expectations

may be assumed, even though unspoken. Seek specific feedback on
expectations from those who are most closely associated with you
and your role.

Create a plan for getting up the learning curve quickly. Identify what
you will need to in order be successful in your new role by tapping
into existing resources inside the organization, as well as finding new
ones.

Document your successes and learning. Your resume is not the only
document you should maintain on a regular basis. Preparing for your
first review is much easier if you take regular notes about your
accomplishments and the associated quantitative/qualitative results
you achieved.
