Your first 90 days on a new job

The first three months set the tone for the rest of the job. Here is how to start strong.

First weeks: listen and learn

Learn names, how things are done and why. Write things down so you only ask once. Ask your manager what matters most to them.

Agree on what success looks like

In the first week or two, ask your manager what a good first 90 days looks like, and check in on it every few weeks.

Get an early win

Find one useful thing you can finish well and on time. Small, early results build trust quickly.

Build relationships

Get to know the people you work with, including other departments. Offer help, ask good questions, and be the person others are glad to have on the team.
