Feedback for Bella:

“Bella was absolutely fantastic at helping me secure a new role. I was in a difficult situation after being made redundant and she went the extra mile to support me by getting to know me and putting me forward for suitable positions. Bella then kept me updated throughout the process and kept checking in to make sure I had everything I needed. She was brilliant and I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you are looking for a new role – you won’t regret working with Bella. Thank you again”?

Be productive in learning

Ask questions: Be bold and ask questions, whether it's about company culture, team dynamics, or specific processes. Clarifying uncertainties early on shows that you are engaged and eager to learn.

Seek training opportunities: Take advantage of any training sessions or onboarding materials provided by the company. This will help you understand the company's expectations, values, and systems.

Introduce yourself: Take the initiative to introduce yourself to your colleagues. A friendly greeting and a brief introduction can go a long way in making connections.

Networking: Attend team meetings, social events, or any networking opportunities available. Building positive relationships with your coworkers will contribute to a supportive work environment.

Organise & prioritise

Create a plan: Develop a plan for your first few weeks. Set realistic goals and prioritise tasks. This will help you stay organised and focused during the initial period of adjustment.

Time Management: Efficiently manage your time by prioritising tasks and breaking them into manageable steps. This will contribute to a smooth and productive onboarding process.

Show enthusiasm & flexibility

Demonstrate enthusiasm: Express genuine enthusiasm for the role and the company. A positive attitude can make a strong impression on your colleagues and superiors.
