I need help with applications and the recruitment process

Settling in to the organisation

• Don't make suggestions for improvement when you have not been in the post for long - you may be right - but you will make someone look foolish; you may be wrong and your idea may have been tried already - unsuccessfully
• Take on every reasonable challenge - get involved to gain more experience
• Take every opportunity to do  training - organisations need qualified first aiders and a health and safety officer - that could be your ticket to move on to another job
• Be aware of your rights and responsibilities as an employee
• Don't get stuck into a rut - when you can do the job without having to think you may need a new challenge either within or outside your present employment.
• Keep your career plan in mind to ensure that you are on track - if you don't have a career plan, go to Develop a plan of action
• Take responsibility for your career development - go to the section I haven't decided what is the right career for me to begin the process of making career plans
