I start a new job on Monday - what worked for you?

They called on Monday with an offer and I said yes right away. It has been a long 20 weeks. It is not my dream role, but the pay is fair and the people are kind. What helped you in the first month?

Congratulations! Take notes on names and processes in your first week. It helped me settle in.

Well earned. Ask questions early, even small ones. People liked it.
