Effective new employees understand the importance of the transition period. They accept their role as the newcomer and attack the tasks of learning the organization and getting accepted with vigor rather than running from them. Every organization has its rites of passage before you can become a full member of the teams, with all the benefits involved. You will have to pay your dues-just as everyone before you has while earning their places in the system. A major frustration of many new graduates after being on the job a short time is that their expectations are not met.
Frustration is nothing more than the difference between expectations and reality.
If you work at keeping your expectations realistic, you will not be disappointed. It is important to remember that the image the recruiter painted of the company is probably a bit too rosy. Nor will you receive the same special attention from others in the company that you did while being recruited. The single most important person in your first year is your new boss. It is likely that working for a boss is unlike any other relationship you have had in the past.
