Starting as a Science Writer

Starting a new job can be one of the most stressful periods of our work lives, and how we manage the first three months of a new job can dramatically impact the trajectory of our entire career. Our colleagues and supervisors will often make snap judgements about our conscientiousness and behavior within the first three months of our employment, which often coincides with our new company’s probationary period, during which time we may be unceremoniously dumped. No pressure!
