4 things your new starters should be doing

3. Organise one-to-one meetings with colleagues

Getting to know your colleagues is important – but that doesn’t mean heading to the pub for a pint, a bowl of pork scratchings and watching the footy during lunch.

Think strategically. Kauflin suggests: "Ask anyone out to coffee whose work you admire, who has risen quickly through the ranks or who works in a different department that you’re curious about. Learn about their day-to-day role and what they like and dislike about the company. Probe for general advice.”

This way, you’ll get to know how things work at the firm whilst developing relationships.
