New job or role

New job or role
Start by asking for the big picture. Why does what you’re doing matter, and to whom? Who benefits from your work? Who is depending on or waiting for you to complete your tasks? And, ultimately, how does your work contribute to the organization or beyond?
Next, find out how your success on the job will be measured. What’s the required level of quality and how will this be determined?
You or your manager should put these details in writing so you can be confident you’re both on the same page.
Once this is determined, get specific and measurable instructions and directions. Ask what’s involved in terms of the steps you take, the timeline you should follow, and the quality control measures you can use to complete your job.
Ask who you’ll interact with at work. This could include those you report to and those who report to you. It could be those who give you work assignments or those who are waiting for you to provide them with something so they can do their work. It could include co-workers, peers, inspectors, staff from other departments, vendors, or customers. Ask for tips to manage those relationships effectively, and any formal requirements for collaboration or reporting.
Don’t be shy to ask your manager when you should go to them for authority, permissions, support, resources, or
to find out what you should expect in terms of feedback going forward including how often you’ll meet to check in, and how best to communicate with them.
If you still have questions after this conversation, follow up in writing, asking your manager to confirm what you understood and to clarify any issues you’re still uncertain about
