Congratulations! Your successful job search campaign has landed you the job opportunity you have always dreamed of. Celebrate your success, you’ve worked very hard and deserve it. But when your celebration is over, it’s time to focus beyond just showing up for work on your start date, its time to take your professional game to the next level by developing a 90-day career engagement strategy.
Your 90-day career engagement strategy will provide you with a strategic framework and timeline to follow during your first 90 days with your new employer. An effectively executed 90- day career engagement strategy will guide your professional transformation from being perceived as a “new hire development project,” to being perceived as a high impact performer and valuable organizational asset. The choice is yours, you can drag through the “first year blues” of trying to “fit in,” or starting off with a career engagement strategy that will enable you to fully maximize opportunities, effectively build networks, and “own the place” after your first year!
Key components of your 90 day Career Engagement Strategy (CES)
Targeted Goal: The area of your performance, organization, or team that you would like to learn more about, grow in, or actively engage. This could also be a suggested goal shared with you by your new supervisor, and other successful individuals in the organization you have come into contact with.
Engagement Activity: Specific actions you have identified to be engaged with, including formal training, coaching, meetings, mentoring, social networking activities, telephone calls, emails, etc., that will assist you in accomplishing your targeted goal.
