Part 4/9:
In the final 30 days of probation, taking initiative and ownership is critical. Volunteer for challenging projects, suggest improvements, and demonstrate your commitment to the organization's success. These actions leave lasting impressions and set the stage for future growth.
Visibility and Managing Fears
A common obstacle for new employees is fear—fear of making mistakes or trying new things. Experts advise that mistakes are part of the learning process and should not deter you from engaging fully. To showcase your efforts, keep a detailed record—such as a word document or email—of your accomplishments. At the end of your probation, this portfolio allows you to clearly demonstrate your contributions, even if they seemed invisible in the moment.
