So far I’ve avoided all the common mistakes of beginners: not being heavy nor clumsy, solve things by myself and talk to everyone! I got a lot of help and it feels good not to be lost the first 2 months. I survived!

Finally I received a full month of salary and I love it even though tax is quite high :(!

My business trip to Poland was not naive. I had an assignment and, for unknown reasons, I had a very hard time making people cooperate in France and in Poland. I instinctively requested the trip to Poland to understand these political reasons. Luckily for me, I was right, the big bosses will also go there next week. I helped their manager prepare the meeting on Monday.
Time was the only thing I asked them for. In return, I gave them access to everything I knew to help them prepare for future clients. They needed access to all these information.

I heard a question today at work and I aswered in a very simple way. Everyone was surprised that I had the answer (I was the only one):
Who ordered to move the whole clearance department?
My answer : Mr Xxx
Everyone was looking at me .. I did not elaborate…!
Next Question: Was Mr Xxx here this week?
My answer: YES!
I only looked at the smile on their faces.

My new job has taught me one of the most valuable lesson in life. What is most precious at work is not your knowledge or your skills, it is your ability to interact with as many people as you can.
I have surrounded myself with a lot of skilled people as soon as I could. I gave very sincere answers when I could. When things were politically sensitive, I kept my mouth shut and I obeyed direct orders.
I am starting to pick the fruits of my labor: I became reliable and I gained knowledge slowly but surely. I am protected by the most important people at work and I am part of every important projects without even asking for it. People were surprised to see me there but they all knew that someone very important invited me.
My boss asked me today a question and his gaze was too long to be innoncent: a director has proposed his space for me to join. I am currently assigned to another director. My boss was willing to let me choose but he warned me that if he cannot get me my new desk (where I wanted) I would have to join the new director :). Both paths are challenging and offer unlimited possibilities.
