Bloggers at work ‘Whenever I try to sell something on eBay I end up buying instead’ KIRSTIE THE ENTREPRENEUR For the first few weeks try not to make any negative comments or jokes; you don’t know who’s listening! Wait until you understand the office politics before attaching yourself to a group of people, and watch out for the office romances to avoid treading on people’s toes. Most of your colleagues understand your situation and will try to make it easier; though you can get those who try to create problems (maybe you weren’t their choice for the position). You’ll have to work extra hard to impress them so until they accept that you are there to stay, keep out of the way and try to do anything they ask as efficiently as possible. You’re unlikely to be expected to walk straight into the job and get on with it without help and the occasional disaster, so use the grace period to work on the social side; fitting in with the team, showing willing and the due respect to managers. There’s nothing wrong with nerves; after all, everyone in the company went through the same thing. Just smile and enjoy the fact that they thought you were good enough to join them. KIRSTIE NICOLS The other bloggers will be back next time.
