I have worked in two different companies which is completely a different field which i have enjoyed a lot and made many friends and now im heading towards my third job..and i am happy i have got into an MNC which is very popular company in the field of IT, CONSULTING AND BPO...now, is that i was so excited about joining and i was moved into process after a days induction, and I was shocked to see a large team..a 33-member team as i have not worked in teams in the earlier organizations as i was the doer, boss and had direct contact with upper level management ..and as u all may be aware of..there are so many gangs that are formed within the seating pattern..how do you break the silence?..i went and introduced myself n every cubicle and they too responded..now the question is how do you keep up the relationships or maintain the rapport?..sometimes the new joinees feel they are the odd man out n left alone..so what ways would you suggest to maintain a rapport and establish urself in such a large team as a new joinee?..i know time can be the answer to this..as time passes v can become friendly and a person's interpersonal skils would help....any suggestions to move closer with the team and establish urself in the first few days befire even u get started with work?.
