Your first two weeks at a new job matter more than most people realize...

Before anybody knows if you can do the work, they already have an opinion about whether you are worth keeping. That opinion gets built fast, and it gets built off things that have nothing to do with skill.

In this episode Zac breaks down what actually gets noticed in those first ten working days.

1. Showing up on time and what that really means.
2. How to communicate when something goes wrong instead of hoping nobody finds out.
3. Taking initiative without stepping on toes.
4. Why volunteering for the job nobody wants is the fastest way to get respect.
5. Asking questions the right way, and why the guy who asks is trusted more than the guy who guesses.
6. What being a team player looks like on a real crew, not on a poster in a break room.

This one is for anybody starting a new job, and for anybody who runs a crew and wants to know what to tell the new hire on day one.
