初到一家公司该怎么做?
It's
never easy being the new guy. Whether you're
heading into your first job out of school or your
15th,
the first days at a new gig are
rarely easy ones. New coworkers, a new office, and
a brand new work
culture all lend to
the feeling that you are a stranger in an even
stranger land. What's the best way to
cope?
当新人从来不是件容易的事。不管你是大学毕业才
获得第一份工作,或者这已经是你的第
15
份工作了,
总之在一家新单位里的头几天都不会过得很轻松。
新的同事,
新的办公室,
以及全新的工作文化,
会让你
充满了人生地不熟的感觉。那么,最好的适应方法是什么?

When you start a new job, you'll
probably have some type of formal orientation
program, also known as
onboarding.

than
a

introduction

some

当你开始一个新工作的时候,
你可能要接受某种正式的入职教育。
有的入职教育只是简单地介绍一下
