You're Hired — Now What? Starting a New Job
The offer letter is signed. But the real work of navigating a new role starts before day one — and most people don't know it.
About this episode
Getting the job is only step one. What you do next — in the days and weeks that follow — sets the tone for how you'll be perceived, treated, and positioned at this company for years to come.
In this episode, Kiana and Tara break down what to actually do after you get hired: from negotiating your start date and setting expectations to making smart first impressions with your new team and manager.
They also talk about the mistakes new hires make — overpromising, over-sharing, and underestimating office dynamics — and what to do instead.
Because first impressions at work aren't just about showing up. They're about showing up strategically.
