Getting to know the team is an important part of business etiquette. In a number of companies, the introduction of a new employee is organized by HR specialists. However, often a person has to introduce themselves to colleagues on their own. In any case, in order to make a decent first impression, you need to remember a few simple rules.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare to meet a new team in advance. On the eve of the first working day, set aside 1-2 hours of free time for this. Ask family and friends not to bother you. Think about your look: what clothes you will wear, what accessories will suit her, what you need to take with you (a pen, notebook, folder, etc.). All things should be modest, in harmony with each other and meet corporate requirements.
Step 2
Make a short story about yourself: age, marital status, where you studied, previous place of work, hobbies, positive and negative qualities, etc. Most likely, you will not voice most of your autobiography. But having a prepared text, you will not be confused when you hear an offer to tell about yourself. Practice your speech in front of a mirror.
Step 3
Leave the house early in the morning. In the first working day, being late is unacceptable. Walk some part of the way. An energetic walk in the fresh air will help you calm down, collect your thoughts and be in a positive mood.
Step 4
Please visit the HR department before starting work. In small organizations, it is customary for a new employee to visit the director directly. These people will choose how they introduce you to the team.
Step 5
Acquaintance with the whole team at the same time This is done when a new leader is introduced to the position, or in very small companies, where the interaction between employees is very close. In this case, the HR specialist or the head of the organization will name your last name, first name and patronymic, position, outline the scope of your responsibilities and area of responsibility.
Step 6
In large companies, all the members of the labor collective present will not be introduced to you by name, because it will take a lot of time. In the process of work, you will independently find out the names and patronymics of your colleagues. In teams of no more than 20 people, you will most likely be introduced to each employee personally. Try to remember the names and main responsibilities of your colleagues. Later you will learn more about them, but now it is important to learn what business issues will bind you.
Step 7
Getting to know the department staff and taking a tour of the organization This is perhaps the most common way to introduce a newcomer. Your immediate supervisor will first tell the team about you, then list all department employees and their job responsibilities by name, show you the workplace, and explain the priority tasks. A little later, for example, after lunch, you and your boss will visit neighboring departments. There, the manager will name you and explain what questions to contact this structural unit of the company.
Step 8
After the formal introduction, you may be asked to tell a little about yourself and ask additional questions. Now the speech you rehearsed the day before will come in very handy.
Step 9
Speak clearly and distinctly, do not use jargon and parochial expressions. Answer all questions correctly, without hints and ambiguity. Explain that you have certain life and professional experience. Reassure new colleagues of your loyalty and desire to work for the good of the company sincerely.
Step 10
Don't overload your presentation with too personal details. For example, when talking about a family, you should not list the names and ages of all relatives. Just say that you are married and have two sons. Don't bore the audience by listing your awards and achievements. In the process of work your colleagues will appreciate your professional qualities. You cannot categorically criticize your previous place of work. When asked about the reasons for the dismissal, give a neutral answer: "I think that in your company I will be able to realize myself to the full."
Step 11
Keep calm, confident and friendly. Try to deal with overwhelming emotions. In speech, one should not hear apologetic or, conversely, overly self-confident intonations. Speak smoothly, not too fast or too quietly. Don't take long pauses so you don't get the impression that you can't find the right words. Smile and joke in moderation so that your story is not perceived as something frivolous, unimportant and insignificant.
Step 12
Personal acquaintance with the team This option is undesirable, but possible. If for some reason you were not introduced to the employees of the organization on the first or second day, go to get acquainted yourself. Start with the secretary of the manager and the workers of the neighboring departments. State your name and title, say that you would be happy to learn a little about what this department does. A good reason for getting to know each other will be a small professional question, for help in solving which you can turn to your colleagues.
