The Training People - The one stop shop for training & development

You have been offered a job – well done!

Here are some questions that you might like to ask before you accept:

• What will the salary be?
• What are your hours of work?
• How many holidays will you get?
• What is the dress code?
• Do you need to bring any of your own equipment?
• How will your salary be paid? (I.e. monthly/ weekly? If you haven’t got a bank account you may need to open one…)
• Will there be a probationary period?
• Will there be any training?

Okay so you’ve accepted the job. Here are some tips to help combat those first day nerves…

• Know what time you are expected, where to go and who to report to.
• Find out what you should wear – if you are not certain it is usually better to be too smart than too casual.
• When you are meeting a lot of people it can be difficult to remember all their names – this will take some time but it may be best to write down the names of important people.
• Ask about your induction.
• Make sure that you have taken any information that you have been asked for i.e. National Insurance number and bank account details.
• It might be worth finding out when your first salary will be paid.
• Be pleasant to everyone and try not to get involved in gossip and conflict – you might not know who you are talking to!
