Greetings!

In Job Choices 2011, Author Ed Holton sums up an article outlining several steps to first year success in the workplace by stating it is your responsibility to make the transition from college to work a success. Don't leave it up to your new employer or even a mentor. It is your responsibility to be successful.  

"Get yourself accepted by the organization and respected by your colleagues, and become productive, and then-and only then-will you have the right to assert yourself in the organization."
