Starting a New Job
Getting Everything to Run Smoothly
Continued contact with your new employer and recruitment consultant is the best way of ensuring everything goes to plan in the run up to your first day in your new job.
Arrangements for Starting
- A week or two before starting it is worth reconfirming the day, time and location for your first day, and who it is you will be meeting
- Double check on arrangements for the collection of any items on or before start date such as company car, mobile phone etc. This may be best arranged with HR/Personnel Department rather than your line manager
Letting People Know
- If you are returning your previous employer’s mobile phone, it may be an idea to send an email round to the appropriate personal contacts to give them your new contact details
- Advise the recruitment agencies that you want to stay in touch with of your new employer and contact numbers
- Ask for your details to be archived or deleted from any agencies, or job boards you have used to avoid receiving embarrassing phone calls in your first few weeks!
