Read 4 Important Talks To Have With Your New Boss

You’re starting a new job – great! But in order to succeed you have to know what your boss expects from you. Here are four things you should discuss with your boss as soon as possible.
1. Why did I get the job?
Of course you were probably the most qualified fro all the other job applicants, but the hiring manger had a lot more to consider than your qualifications, great smile and well-put together speech. Ask your manager why they chose you – what did they see in you that made them believe you would add value to the team? Find out what it was and then spend every day proving your worth.


2. How can I learn more?
When you join a new company, you’ll most likely be welcomed, meet the team you’ll be working with and find out what your duties and responsibilities will be in your new role. Chat to your manager and find out what you can do to learn more and structure a sort of learning path with your manager to clearly define where you fit in and how you can grow.

3. What’s my role?
You were hired for a reason – find out what that reason was. Ask your manager what the plan is – discuss what your departmental and company goals are so that you can seek opportunities to reach those goals.

4. Your feedback is important to me
Honesty is the best policy especially when it comes to building successful relationships. Ask your manager for regular feedback and guidance to ensure that you’re always on the same page and are meeting, or exceeding, their expectations. You also need to realise that giving feedback to your manager is just as important. Provide feedback professionally and when relevant.

@David: i don't think any right-thinking employer will be upset with a normal employee relationship like this with him except if the employer is too bossy
