管你是职场老手还是初出茅庐的菜鸟，在一个新地方开始一段新的职场生涯都会有压力。要想给你的上司和同事们留下一个好印象，开始工作的最初几周是最重要的。
有些公司有帮助员工适应新工作环境的政策，比如一带一制度，即公司安排某个员工在你入职的最初几天带你熟悉公司各方面的情况；或是导师制度，即安排某个资深员工来指导你。但这些做法往往都还是不够的。
以下是专家们就如何顺利渡过入职头30天给出的一些小窍门：
1.当早起的鸟
这听起来很老套，但你会吃惊地发现人们是多么容易忽视这条放之四海而兼准的好建议。
在入职的最初几周，每天提前到达办公室，你可以有更充裕的时间去办理人力资源部和薪酬部门要求办理的诸多入职手续，也能有更多时间探究和了解新的工作环境。
安永会计师事务所(Ernst & Young)印度分公司的人力资源总监桑迪普•科利(Sandeep Kohli)说，“提前上班还能让你有时间与新同事交往。”
当然，这也有助于给你的新上司留下你热心于工作的印象。
2.多问问题
如果你在某件事上需要帮助，应该毫不犹豫地向周围的人求助。
奕丰金融印度公司（iFAST Financial India Pvt. Ltd.）旗下共同基金销售公司Fundsupermart.com的人力资源经理席巴•萨蒂什(Sheeba Satish)说，“要问关于公司和你本人工作方面的问题。”
这会让你的上司感觉你有兴趣了解新工作和新公司。更重要的是，你得到的回答将帮助你快速适应新环境。不过，请别忘了社交和职场礼仪。
外包公司ADP Pvt. Ltd.的人力资源部门负责人文贾莫里(Satyanarayana Vinjamoor)说，“在刚入职的那些日子别问私人问题，努力让自己只问一般性问题以及与工作有关的问题。 ”
3.留意你的身体语言
你的行为传达出的信息会超乎你的想像。没精打采、皱眉、把手叠在一起、在椅子上前后晃动以及不停地抖动腿，这些姿态可能给人留下你紧张、缺乏自信或对工作漫不经心的印象。
萨蒂什说，“你的身体语言会显示出你是否易于亲近，应该保持微笑，不要显得紧张或不安。”
4.乐于倾听
在入职之初，要多听少说。科利说，“如果说得过多，你就可能无意中出言鲁莽，让别人对你形成误解。”倾听和观察有助于你更多地了解同事和上司以及他们做事的方式。你或许还会无意中听到一些办公室的闲言碎语，请努力要不让自己卷入办公室政治。
5. 抱定学习的心态
做出改变总是困难的，不过一旦进入了新的工作场所，就要做好接受新的企业文化和不同的做事方式以及承担新责任的准备。
孟买广告公司Ogilvy & Mather的总裁帕萨克(Hephzibah Pathak)说，“尽量不要说'我在以前的工作单位习惯于这么做'。”这会让你显得太张扬甚至令人生厌。
6.不要急着去改变
如果你是去新单位当领导的，请别急着发号施令。
萨蒂什说，“我们常常看到有人上任伊始就急于对形势做出判断，然后迅速开始着手变革。”
这不是个好主意，因为这会使你与新接手的团队产生矛盾，导致下属对你产生抵触。正确的做法是，在深思熟虑后对形势做出自己的判断，与下属尽可能多地沟通中，让他们慢慢了解你做事情的方法。
7.适应新公司的价值观
文贾莫里说，“你应该了解自己所就职公司的使命及核心价值观，并使自己的目标和期望与其相一致。”这点对于担任中、高级职务的人来说尤其重要，这些人可能会太过拘执于以往所就职企业的文化。
花些时间去看看公司网站上的“公司简介”或许能有所帮助。安永的科利说，如此一来，“当上司与你谈到这些信息时，你可以更容易获得认同并提出有见地的问题。”
8.加入业余俱乐部
许多企业会组织员工参加各种活动或比赛，以此鼓励员工相互间进行不拘礼节的交流。这是你融入群体的机会。所以，如果你新入职的公司举办智力竞赛或足球比赛，要考虑参加。
金融服务公司雪绒花资本有限公司（Edelweiss Capital）的人力资源部门负责人古帕塔(Shaily Gupta)说，“这会给你在更大范围内结交公司同事创造机会，使你在公司的社交圈子不仅局限于你的业务领域，而是扩展到整个公司。”
9.交往、交往、交往
别等着公司举办活动才去结交朋友和同事。在喝茶、用自助午餐甚或去饮水机旁接水时就可顺带着把自己介绍给公司同仁。可以与同事互致问候或向他们寻求建议。你这样主动搭讪，别人会感觉良好。
雪绒花公司的帕塔说，“一个人攀登职场高峰倚赖的不仅仅是智力资本，还有与同事相处的情商。”
如果可能，也要主动去接触本部门以外的人。他们有可能成为你了解公司其他部门情况的耳目。或许你有朝一日想换一个部门工作呢。还有，别忘了与你周围的高层人士建立良好关系。
10.搞定你的上司
说实话，与上司的关系是否能有一个良好的开端，会决定你今后工作的成败。要尽早与上司建立起牢靠的职业关系。
科利说，“要搞清楚你应扮演的角色和你对新工作的期待。”与上司讨论在工作中要做什么、不要做什么，包括一些基本事项，如上司希望你何时到岗，以及希望你多长时间向他汇报一次工作进展。
把上述窍门运用到工作中，用不了多长时间，你就能在新公司站住脚了。
Starting at a new workplace can be stressful for anyone, whether you have years of experience or are just beginning your career. The first few weeks are also the most crucial to leaving a good impression on your managers and peers.
Some companies have policies to ease you into the new job, such as a buddy system where they assign someone to show you around for the first few days, or mentoring programs which assign you to senior personnel to help guide you. But these methods might not always be enough.
Here are a few expert tips on how to navigate the first 30 days on your new job:
1. Be the Early Bird
This sounds pretty banal but you'd be surprised how often people fail to heed this standard advice.
Reaching the office early for the first few weeks gives you more time to complete all the extra formalities required by the human resources and payroll departments. It will give you more time to explore and absorb your new surroundings.
'Arriving early also gives you time to network' with your new colleagues, says Sandeep Kohli, national director of human resources, Ernst & Young.
And of course it helps impress the new boss by showing your eagerness to work.
2. Ask Questions
If you need help with something, don't hesitate to ask people around you.
'Ask questions regarding the organization (and) your work,' says Sheeba Satish, human resources manager for Fundsupermart.com, a mutual fund distribution company and a unit of iFAST Financial India Pvt. Ltd.
It shows your managers that you are interested in learning about your new job and company. More importantly, the answers will help you adapt to your new surroundings quickly. But, don't forget social and professional etiquette.
'Don't ask personal questions in the initial days. Try to limit yourself to general or work-related questions,' says Satyanarayana Vinjamoori, head of human resources, ADP Pvt. Ltd., an outsourcing firm.
3. Watch Your Body Language
Your actions can give away a lot more than you think. Slouching, frowning, folding your hands, rocking back-and-forth in your chair or shaking your leg constantly, are some gestures that might give the impression that you are nervous, not confident or are too casual about your job.
'Your body language signals whether you are approachable or not,' says Ms. Satish. 'One should smile always, and not be tense or nervous.'
4. Be a Listener
In the initial days, listen more and talk less. 'When you talk more, you might unintentionally speak out of turn which might be perceived in a wrong way,' says Mr. Kohli. Listening and observing can help you learn more about your peers and managers and their way of doing things. You might even overhear some office gossip, but try not to get sucked into office politics.
5. Arrive Ready to Learn
Change is always difficult, but if you're joining a new organization, come prepared to soak up a new culture, different ways of doing things and take on new responsibilities.
'Try not to say things like 'In my old job I used to do this',' says Hephzibah Pathak, president of advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather in Mumbai. That could make you seem too aggressive or even annoying.
6. Don't Rush to Shake Things Up
If you are joining as a manager, don't be in a hurry to
make your mark.
'We normally see people come in and make a quick assessment of what is happening, and start making changes quickly,' says Fundsupermart.com's Ms. Satish.
That's not a good idea because it can cause friction with your new team and lead to resistance. Instead, take your time passing judgment and consider introducing your way of doing things slowly while you communicate with your team as often as possible.
7. Adapt to Your New Company's Values
'One should understand the mission of the company, its core values, and align one's goals and aspirations respectively,' says Mr. Vinjamoori at ADP. This is especially true for people at mid- to senior-level positions, who might be too entrenched in their previous company's cultures.
It might help to devote some time to go through the 'About Us' section on the company's Web site. This will make it 'easy for you to get assimilated and ask intelligent questions when your boss shares this information with you,' says Ernst & Young's Mr. Kohli.
8. Join the Club
Many companies organize events or games for their employees to encourage informal interaction. That's your opportunity to get out there and blend in with the crowd. So if there's a quiz or a football game being held by your new company, consider participating.
'This gives you a chance to connect to the larger organization and network (with people) not just in your line of business but across the organization,' says Shaily Gupta, head human resources, Edelweiss Capital, a financial services firm.
9. Network, Network, Network
Don't wait for company events to make friends and meet peers. Introduce yourself over a cup of tea or lunch in the cafeteria or even around the water-cooler. Exchange greetings and ask for advice. People will be flattered that you have reached out.
'It is not only the intellectual capital but also the emotional quotient with peers that propels a person to greater heights,' says Ms. Gupta at Edelweiss.
When possible, also reach out to people outside your department. Down the road, they could be your eyes and ears to what's happening in other parts of the company, and who knows, you might want to work in a different department at some point. Also, don't forget to build good relationships with senior people around you.
10. Manage your Manager
Let's face it, getting off on the right note with your boss can help make or break your job. Try to develop a strong professional bond as early as possible.
'Get clarity regarding your role and the expectations from you,' says Mr. Kohli. Discuss the 'do's and don'ts' of your job, which could include basic things like what time you are expected at work, and how often you have to update your manager on your progress.
Apply these principles and within no time you would have made a place for yourself in the organization.
