When you start a job, you can leave a bad impression on your new co-workers very quickly without even realizing it. Because the workplace can be fast-paced and stressful , it can be easy to forget the people around you. One sure way to annoy your co-workers is to speak loudly on your phone. Speaking loudly on the phone can make it difficult for your co-workers to focus on what they are doing or to have phone conversations of their own. lt may also send a message that you think your work and phone conversations are more important than anyone else’s. Another common mistake is to take the last cup of coffee and not make another pot. Leaving an empty coffee pot means that the next person has to take the time to make a new pot of coffee. Nobody likes to do this, particularly first thing in the morning! Many people find this behavior very rude. Leaving your cell phone on is another way you could unknowingly irritate your co-workers and cause them to form a bad impression of you. Your ringing cell phone may disturb the quiet your co-workers need to do their work. The noise may cause them to work more slowly or make mistakes. Also, many people consider it disrespectful. Finding your dream job may take a lot of time and effort, but unfortunately, leaving a bad impression on your co-workers can be done quickly and easily!
