Her Secret -- New Girl on the Job

Hannah Seligson, author of the book "New Girl on the Job", asked high-powered women how to rock a job from day one. Here are three good points from her book:

1. Take it in. Spend the first month learning the basics: watch how the place works, take notes and ask a few old-timers out to lunch (your treat) to get their advice.

2. Ask how you're doing. As you tackle new tasks, ask your boss for feedback. You'll learn faster, and she'll see that you're eager to get things right.

3. Keep a work journal. Jot down notes about your contributions. You can rattle off your victories when it's time for a raise.
