he excitement of starting a new job can, sometimes, overshadow our attitude on how to act to the new work environment. On many occasions we are so excited on our new career path, that we often come across as objectionable or know it all. At other times, we look as if we are lost. Starting on a new job can be overwhelming. Our nerves are usually shuttered by the time we get into our new place of work and meet everyone.
There are a few tips that one can take into consideration when starting a new job. The most important is to make sure you arrive on time. It leaves a bad impression when a new employee, on his/her first day of work, arrives five minutes late. It doesn’t matter if the traffic was bad. That’s no excuse. When the new employee arrives to work, he/she has to be pleasant, smiling and friendly. No one wants to meet a new employee who looks nervous and has a solemn face. But also don’t look too excited and giggle all the time.
Introduce yourself to the people you meet with a firm handshake, a smile on your face, and stating your name clearly. Make sure you have a notepad with you to take notes of anything of importance, like names and titles. Familiarize yourself with the building; where the conference rooms are, the bathrooms, the stairs, elevators, coffee stations. Usually, the first day is quite easy. People will let the new employee acquaint himself/herself with the new work environment. It’s a few days later that the real work begins.
Once you are shown into your new desk/cubicle, or office, look at the files that are left there from your predecessor. Thus, you will be able to familiarize yourself on your work duties in case anything was left out when you were offered the job. Read through any flyers or pamphlets that the company has. You will become more familiar with what the company does. If there is a plant attached or in the building, ask for a tour, to see how and what’s been manufactured or produced. Appear eager to learn, ask questions to find out more about the company. This will enable you to learn the company’s functions better, thus helping you do your job better. Read the company’s manual, if there is one. Ask for what the dress code might be. Certain companies have different dress codes. Dressing appropriately to the company’s code will help your career and keep you out of the Human Resources office.
As you become more familiar with the company and the job, get involved in after work activities. You will end up making friends, and thus helping you in anything you might need. Make yourself known throughout the company by either helping your coworkers or getting involved in projects from other departments. Stay late, if you have to, to finish a project or a presentation for the next morning. Be supportive and helpful to your colleagues. You will be well respected and well thought off.
Overall, adjusting to a new job and work environment can be intimidating. By having a positive attitude, pleasant personality, and work hard, will make it much easier to enjoy the new job and environment.

Arrive on time or a little early the first day. Ask in advance when, where, and whom you will meet. Confirm that somebody will be there to meet you when you arrive.
* Obtain and bring the phone number of somebody who can let you in. Get any special instructions, too.
* Be courteous and patient with the receptionist and any security staff you meet on the way in. They can contact the right people and help point you in the right direction.

Take care of the administrative stuff. Visit Human Resources, security, your manager, and anybody else you need to see to get started. Ask questions if you need to.
* Fill out whatever paperwork is necessary and get it turned in promptly. Note that applications for insurance, retirement, or other benefits may need to be turned in within a certain amount of time after starting the job for them to be accepted. If you're not sure about policies, procedures, or deadlines; ask.
* Present identification if it is required. You may need to place a copy of your passport, social security card, or other state or national ID on file.
*
Obtain (or apply for) your badge, uniform, and any keys you will need. Make sure to get a temporary badge if your permanent one will take some time to arrive.
* Attend any training or orientation.
* Review the employee manual and any other matter you're asked to read.
* Request business cards if they will be a part of your job.

Get to know your colleagues. This could be the single most valuable way to ease the transition into a new job.
* Learn names as much as possible. Introduce yourself and ask a few simple questions to start the conversation. Find out what people's roles are and how long they have been around, for a start.
* Ask who to ask. If you're stuck on something, go to somebody you already met and ask where you should take a question.

Make friends. As you start to develop a professional rapport with some people, invite them to have coffee or lunch with you someday. Getting outside the workplace can do wonders for camaraderie.

A bit of personal style.
A bit of personal style.
Learn your work area and, as appropriate, set it up.
* If you share space or equipment with others, learn where it goes and how to care for it. You'll make a good impression by keeping things tidy and in working order.
* Arrange your work space for your style. Do you use your telephone frequently? Put it within easy arm's reach. Are you right-handed? Leave yourself space to write on that side of your chair. Organize your desk for the way you work.
* Adjust your chair to fit comfortably. Ask for any special accommodations you need.
* Clean your workspace, especially if somebody else occupied it previously. Stay a little late the first day, if you need to. People eat, sneeze, and cough at their desks, and you're better off not starting a new job by calling in sick the second week.
* Remove the clutter, if any was left behind.
* Wipe down your desk with damp paper towels. Pre-moistened wipes or a mild spray cleaner will do a better job. Don't forget the mouse, mousepad, keyboard, the armrests of your chair, the telephone and doorknobs, since all these things get handled frequently.
* Collect or request any supplies or equipment you will need to do your job.
* Arrange and organize your workspace as you go, too. You may not know what to title file folders or binders until you get started doing your job, for instance.

Get your computer, accounts, and passwords set up. The IT or IS department will usually help. Listen to their instructions and advice. Don't forget to ask for assistance installing a printer, if you need to.

Learn enough about your voice mail system to initiate your mailbox, record an outgoing message, and set a password. Sometimes there are various internal and external messages to set up.
8.

Learn your new job. Depending on your job and your previous experience, it could take anywhere from weeks to years to master.
* Ask plenty of questions at first. Everybody will understand that you are starting in a new place, and it will show that you're actively learning.
* Establish goals and define your objectives. Do this jointly with your supervisor. You may see what needs doing, or he/she may tell you what needs to be done, or (most likely) a combination may occur. Your objectives may evolve as you settle in, but starting right away will give you direction when you most need it.
* Listen carefully to instructions and advice that people offer.
* Write things down. Use a notebook, calendar or planner to help keep track of all the new information that is coming your way. When somebody tells you where to go or who to see, make a note of it. It will help you remember what you need to do, and it will demonstrate that you are paying attention.
* Repeat back instructions that you receive, in your own words. It's a good way to make sure that you understand things completely, and it will help you remember. You can begin, "Let me make sure I understand correctly here. You'd like me to..."

Learn the building or other space where you will be working. Where is the printer? The restroom? The emergency exit? The cafeteria? If there's a map, take a good look at it.
10.

Talk to your boss. Even if it's not your favorite activity, communicating regularly with your boss is a good way to know if you're on the right track. Don't forget that you can ask questions, give a status report (verbally or in writing), and ask for feedback and recommendations.

Bihar set to celebrate its new confidence
Courtesy : Indian Express news
Young and old will exchange greeting cards, like they do at New Year’s; there will be nukkad nataks (streetside theatre) in Patna and shram daan in every village where 99 lamps will be lit to mark the number of years since the state was separated from the Bengal presidency in 1912. Schools will display a map of the state with “Hamara Bihar” inscribed in it.
The Bhojpuri film industry, which turned 50 a few days ago, will be celebrated with shows of Bhojpuri films and documentaries and films located in Bihar — like Basu Bhattacharya’s soulful Teesri Kasam, based on Renu’s short story, shot in Araria. The newly-selected “Bihar gaan” or state anthem will be played. Entries for the anthem as well as a prarthna or daily prayer have been invited from the people by the government.
These are just a few of the things planned by the Nitish Kumar government for the 99th Bihar Divas on March 22 in what is being seen as a politically innovative way to take charge of the state’s unfolding story and find an evocative symbol of pride, aspiration and confidence.

So long, said officials involved with this project, Bihar has been known as the country’s basket-case, sending migrants across the country, many to face Raj Thackeray-style hate campaigns. This is meant to begin changing that perception — at home.
According to Anjani Kumar Singh, principal secretary HRD, the Bihar Divas celebrations will extend from two to five days in Patna and other parts of the state; some events will continue into the next year. Celebrated officially for the first time last year, it is scheduled to be even grander in 2012, he says, when, “as in the case of the foundation days of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, it will be celebrated in other states as well”.

Students & Nitish Kumar
College students in Bihar explain why they voted for Nitish Kumar, who will be sworn in as Chief Minister for his second term tomorrow. The youth of Bihar says Nitish understands their dreams and hopes --not just for their lives -- but for their home. Bihari pride, they say, is now a fact rather than an aspiration.
