For whom?
What and how

Are you just about to sign a new employment contract? Is it your first day at a new job? Are you wondering how to communicate with your new colleagues? What will be expected of you, especially in your trial period? What behavior makes you successful and how do you show what you're worth? Do you want to make the most of your new job? Looking for a better working relationship with your coworkers or manager? And to make clear what added value you contribute? Then this is the course for you, with a focus on your career.

What will I learn?
In this course, you'll discover what strategies help you get the most out of yourself, your colleagues, and your managers. You'll also learn how to apply your talents as a member of the new generation. We'll help you to avoid the pitfalls of so many starters, and you'll learn how you are as a colleague and how others perceive you. You'll learn to recognize your strong points, but also your weaknesses and "weird" habits. The course is called "My first job!" for a reason! You're sure to come across situations that you are unfamiliar with or simply unprepared.

Communicating with colleagues, working relationships, dealing with a difficult coworker, handling authority, developing your self-confidence and confident attitude. These are all elements you'll examine during this course. Your salary and salary negotiation will also be addressed. You'll learn how to properly prepare for an employment interview and a performance review. And topics such as the organization and your career will also be handled.

What will I do?
How can you improve the relationships with your colleagues and managers? By immersing yourself in their interests and being empathetic! And don't forget: it's strategically smart. When you see things from a different perspective and consider the other's interests, you learn so much more. During this course, you're going to make contacts within the organization and you're going to network. This will not only increase your self-confidence but also your enjoyment at the workplace.

After this learning journey, you'll know:

what's expected of you
how to apply your unique talents
what your added value is
how you can successfully communicate and collaborate
