If you are in the process of leaving an old job and starting a new one, you may find that you are feeling quite anxious and worried about the whole process. If possibly it is advisable to take a week or two off work in between leaving one job and starting the new one, especially if you have been in our current position for some time. Leaving old work colleges behind and getting your head in to a different routine with unfamiliar faces can take some time.

With your time off, spend a little bit of it researching your new company, maybe even see if you can pop in for a coffee to familiarise yourself with your surrounds prior to starting.

Before you start, plan what you are going to wear for your first week. Have it all cleaned and ironed ready to go so you don’t have to start panicking about it in the mornings and rushing around. Plan your journey to work and try and drive it a few times at the time you think you will need to leave so you can judge how long it will take in rush hour. The last thing you want to do is be late on your first day.

On your first day, remember to walk in with a smile and greet everyone you meet. If you have the opportunity to, introduce yourself and try and remember who people are and what their role is as this may be important later on.
