Landed yourself an apprenticeship? Check out these top seven tips for making the most of your first week.
- Introduce yourself. Make the effort to learn your colleague’s names.
- Build rapport with your boss and co-workers. Arrange a meeting to discuss what is expected of you.
- Organise your desk. Have a snoop at others workstations to get an idea for what you are allowed to do to your own.
- Make notes. As you learn new skills, write it down, so that you have something to refer to if asked to do something by yourself.
- Ask questions! Don’t sit in silence if you need help.
- Locate the nearest essential shops. Familiarise yourself with what’s around you.
- Reward yourself and don’t overdo it. It’s only your first week, so don’t be too hard on yourself if things trip you up at first.
