How can I make my onboarding to a new job go well?

The following are tips on how to support your professional growth.

• Share a bio—there is no better way to introduce yourself to a new team or group than by sharing a snapshot of who you are. It can speak to your undergraduate and graduate work, internships and passion projects, volunteer, and leadership, but also your hometown and other interesting facts (ex. your passion for rescue animals). This can be easily shared with your future supervisor, team members, or project lead.
• Take note of the names of peers and supervisors in (Zoom or in person) meetings. Then, use LinkedIn to connect with them after the meeting. Add your classmates, teammates, and supervisors to your network. 
• As an intern—think about projects, technical skills, networking, or company research that can be leveraged immediately, but also in your full-time search. For those who have secured a full-time role--goals for your first 90 days and 1st year.
• Consider how you want to network inside and outside of the company, this may include professional groups or leadership opportunities and development of additional skills you might need to hone.
• Socialize. Invite peers to virtual and in person meet-ups—set up group chats, hangouts, or lunch groups. These prove so important by providing professional support in addition to laughs.
• Check out the book The First 90 Days, by Michael D. Watkins with “proven strategies for getting up to speed faster and smarter” and other suggested reading material (page 50) of this guide. Also, ask your future supervisor if there are materials that will be helpful on day one.
