In this article i am sharing the best ways to prepare for your first jobs. These tips will  helpful for freshers.The first job is also a turning point in one’s life. Accepting a new job offer is an exciting moment for any job seeker. It means that you've passed the company's test and it has passed yours and you're on your way to taking the next step in your career.

But smart workers know that landing the job was only half the battle. Just as you researched and prepared for the interview, you'll need to be ready for your first day, so you can walk in with confidence and make a great impression on your new boss and colleagues.

Here are five things you can do to mentally prepare yourself for day one of your new job:

Research your new colleagues and culture:
For any newcomer, it is vital for her/him to play the role of icebreaker. Do not shy away from making the first move to striking up a conversation. “When ‘you’ are the newcomer, do not expect to get a warm reception from your peers,”Spend significant time on the company website before your first day, and look up any events or social media posts the company has or had in the past".Do the best you can to get insights into their culture and history before your first day. This will equip you with different questions to ask and more of a background on the team you have already decided to join."Most importantly, strong connections can help to build your future career path. My advise is Take a few minutes to look up your new supervisors and colleagues,since This will give you a better understanding of their strengths and how you can complement the team's existing talent. It's also a great way to see if you have any overlap in former jobs, colleagues, education and interests, which makes a great conversation starter on your first day."

Be Patient:
 Every organization has its own culture and work ethics, and one learns only with time. Before taking up your first job, it is important to be patient and calm. This mindset will make the learning process easier.Being patient doesn’t mean being idle. Relax your mind and utilise the peaceful energy in the right direction.

Clarify expectations with your boss:
Once you've connected with your supervisor, you might want to reach out and ask what he or she expects your first week on the job.You want to be prepared for any travel, important events and priorities that will be hitting your desk right away,That first week is critical for laying the foundation that will define your career at the new company.

Open Minded:

It is always best to begin with an open and flexible mind on your first job. Condition yourself even before the on-boarding process. “Our thoughts and knowledge need to be aligned to meet the desired objective of the role. Even if it means to let go of our current beliefs in order to receive new insights and inputs.

Plan your first day.

Day one of any new job can be overwhelming. There are tons of people to meet, forms to fill out and pieces of information to process. You don't want to arrive stressed because you couldn't find a good outfit to wear or you accidentally missed your bus stop.

"Plan your first-day outfit in advance ... to eliminate any last-minute stresses, and decrease the likelihood of a wardrobe malfunction.You should also check public transportation schedules in advance and scope out some lunch spots so you can really focus on your first day in the office and the responsibilities of your new position."

Tips to improve interview skills for freshers

In this post i am sharing how to improve interview skills for freshers or beginners. This post helpful who are final year students or freshers. i am going to explain step by step


Always Commit to the Company:

 It doesn’t matter if you plan on leaving in 3 years to start your own business. Act like this job will be the last job you will ever need.

Review your own resume.
You know what you did, right? Are you sure? I once got caught off guard in an interview when the hiring manager asked me a specific question about an accomplishment on my resume. I had to stumble for a minute before my brain latched on to what she was talking about. Don't make that mistake. Refresh your memory, especially old jobs.

 Pay Attention to Every Question:

 Every job interview question the interviewer asks is important, even if it is “what do you think of the weather?” They are all about making a good impression.

Don’t Discuss Salary/Benefits:

Wait until you have the job before you worry about what they pay you.

Remember to Focus on Listening
It can be easy to get distracted during a job interview. It's stressful, and you're in the hot seat when it comes to having to respond to questions.
That said, if you do your best to listen to what the interviewer is asking, it will be easier to frame appropriate responses. Listen carefully and take the time to frame a thoughtful response to each of the questions you're asked.

Be polite to everyone.
You may have heard stories of people who were rude to the receptionist, cut someone off in the parking lot, or yelled at the barista at the coffee shop around the corner and then didn't get the job. These things happen, and they can ruin your chances. I will never, ever, not in a million years hire the person who is rude to the receptionist or barista. Many recruiters and hiring managers feel the same.

Maintain Good Body Language :

Make eye contact throughout the job interview and do not slouch or use any bad posture or bad habits.

Think First :

It is okay to take two or three seconds to think about your answer before you actually provide your answer. The last thing you want to do is ramble about something inconsequential.

Have Questions Ready to Ask
Be prepared to respond when you're asked whether you have any questions. You can ask about the job, the company.

Practice and You Will Be Even Better
The about list is a good resource for those that are in a rush to improve their interview skills. If you have time, however, it is a good idea to try to practice answering interview question as much as possible and utilize many useful job interview strategies.

 Don't forget the thank you card.
It doesn't have to be a card anymore; an email will do just fine. You can get hired without one, but it's a nice gesture to send a quick follow up email to the hiring manager and recruiter. It keeps you in their minds and shows your politeness, which brings this full circle. You begin by being nice to everyone, and you end the interview by being nice to everyone, and you increase your chances.
