I am starting a new job on Friday which I am starting to get a little nervous about. I am also a little nervous about leaving where I currently am as I am settled here. I know the people around me and how they operate, going into a new job I don't really know anyone, I don't know their quirks or their humour. I have heard some very good advice in the past such as not taking part in office gossip (which I stopped doing some time ago), not looking too keen so as to be seen as a brown noser but not so laid back it looks like I don't care.
One thing I am also going to try to do is to avoid taking work home with me or checking emails etc the minute I sit down. In a previous job I would immediately log into my works machine remotely to make sure I hadn't missed anything and this caused me to put a lot of unnecessary stress upon myself.
What tips do you have for anyone starting a new role? Are there things that should really be avoided? Are there things you think you must do? What have you done in the past to make the transition that little bit easier?
