This is my first time setting a Bloggers Club challenge.
This month, I challenge you to write about:
First day on a team
I’ve noticed quite a few people changing roles and joining new teams, so I thought this month it could be about that. Maybe what you’d change about your first day, or what you loved about it?
How to get involved?
Write a blog on the above topic before July 31st It can be as long or as short as you want it to be.
Share a link to the blog here
Receive lots of love from the community
Maybe even get a shout out from the Ministry of Testing Twitter account
I feel there’s rock solid inspiration to be had from this thread. I have a hunch it could provide useful information to help trigger ideas for your own writing. Good luck.
I changed jobs about five moons ago, so it’s still pretty fresh experience for me. I may not be as early with the blog post this month but I already have it in draft.
Great topic! I’d be definitely interested in writing it up. Can I share the link from my medium blogs here? Will that be okay? @heather_reid please confirm me. Thank you!
Heather is on maternity - I believe she mentioned it in the last monthly blogger’s club. It’s OK, I can confirm for you. Yes, share the link to the blog post you write related to the topic, wherever that is.
@deament - I always enjoy reading your posts. Thanks for sharing it here.
@flynnbops - Good luck with your new job! How’s your first week been?
@emna_ayadi – Your Racket is excellent – great advice throughout. And I like how you frame it within “People”, “Product” and “Process” (in your article too). I think those 3P’s are an excellent guide to remind folks to perhaps find a way to balance all three as they get further into their journey as a new starter. I wonder if over time “People” should take more weight/emphasis?
@muktaqa12 – So good to read how your manager had such a positive experience on your first day at the job, all those years ago. I reflect how important the onboarding experience is. Really enjoyed reading your succinct advice towards the end. Brilliant!
Thanks @simon_tomes for your feedback glad to know that you enjoyed my racket !
I would like to say YES OF course, “People comes first”
“People and interaction over process & tools” : with the right mindset people can be good performers even with the lack of something, they can always be a good learners if they are curious !
That’s why we make a whole book me and Ard Kramer about the importance of these inter human skills and we called them #21stskills4testers
Congrats on your first week, @flynnbops . Sounds like a promising start to things. Great you wrote it down – it was very easy to get a sense of how your week went. And if you continue to write and share – then that’s a total bonus for the rest of our community!
It can be as long or as short as you want it to be.
