Lesson 213 · 2 min
Your first 30 days in a new job
Use AI to plan your first month: who to meet, what to learn and one small win to deliver, then adjust as you learn the real place.
The first month in a job sets how people see you. It is also when you know the least. A simple plan helps you spend the time on what matters.
Ask AI to draft a 30-day plan with three parts: people (who to meet and what to ask them), learning (the systems, products and numbers you need to understand), and one small win you can finish in the first month.
Your manager knows things the AI cannot. Share a short version of the plan in your first week and ask what they would change. That conversation often teaches you more than the plan itself.
Keep notes as you go. A chatbot can turn your daily notes into questions to ask and a short update for your manager at the end of the month.
