Super Steps : How to Make the Most of Your New Job
1
Determine your goals.
Before your first day, grab your fancy pen and paper and sit in your favorite chair. Brainstorm everything you want to accomplish. Try to develop something for the first day, week, and month. Writing your goals down with a deadline gives you something to work towards. When you share them with your boss, they will provide you with additional ideas for your new role. This can ultimately help you come up with your long-term goals as well.

Exel at everything you promised in the interview.
Let’s go back to the interview. What did you say you could do? This might be a spoiler alert but if you said you could do something that you actually CAN’T do, you re probably going to get fired. Just because you got the job doesn’t mean you are going to keep it. Make a list of everything you promised the hiring manager. That way, you can keep track of their expectations (and then exceed them!) going into the job.

Hold yourself accountable.
The best thing you can do for yourself is to refer back to your list of goals regularly. No one will hold you accountable as much as you will for yourself. Which goals have you achieved? Can any of them be taken to a new level? Which goals do you still need to work on?
Reflecting will always help you grow. It gives you a reason to cheer yourself on for accomplishing things. It can also motivate you to keep pushing until you achieve your goals.
