So, I recently worked my last day at this temporary placement job I was sent to. I was only supposed to work there two weeks, so I worked with that idea in mind no matter how good everyone told me I was doing. Everytime someone there would approach me, I was quick to let em know well such and such day is supposed to be my last day and they would say 'aww really? how come?' People there still treated me as if I was already hired because I caught on quick and I tried to keep focused on the work, so I didn't really try hard to make friends, but the day before my last, one girl who was gettin ready to go outta town, came up to me and told me 'Look, I'm goin outta town tonight and I wont be here Monday, BUT I wanna see you here Tuesday, so don't give up.' She said this because I constantly worried I wasn't making that big a contribution to the department. And on my last day, this nice kid was trynna get some of the veterans to put in a word for me with the higher ups. So it seems like no matter how hard I tried to keep to myself and not make friends, these people were relentless lol Well, that's what inspired this thought. Are you a likable person? But sometimes it's not just about you, could be about the people, too. But just in general, how long does it take for you to get comfortable in a whole new environment? Generally takes me 4-7 days, about a week into the job, people already callin out my name! :weeeeee: |

CONGRATUATIONS!! Sounds like you did a really excellent job! And you came up to speed very quickly. I've employeed a number of people from temp agencies, and far and away, the vast majority of them, don't work very hard, (why should they?) and are often "between work", (perhaps for a good reason??). But you've made quite am impression. This being a Saturday, you might take some time, and think about if this is where you want to stay. Are the benefits good? Is the pay within "the range". Do you like the poeple you will be working with? Is this the type of work you want to do for a while? Then, in case they do offer you the position, (and don't be surprised if they don't!!, Remember it wasn't listed as "Temp to perm") How do you reply. (This way, either response from 'the company" won't surprise you. //Seoul |

It normally takes 1-3 days for me. I'm a very shy person, but I look like a nice person to talk to. People just come up to me most of the time, but sometimes I go to them if I think they're talking about anything interesting. ^-^ |

It varies for me. I can click with the next person I talk to or I could not. So it varies for me. |

I'm usually shy. It just depends on the people and the setting. I say a week is a safe amount of time for me to get comfortable with someone and vise versa. Even if we have something to talk about that we have in common, it could still be hard to like someone just based on that one thing. For me, those are usually acquaintances if that's all that can ever come from a conversation. The ones that can scratch passed that and input the time to get to know me become better and closer friends. Although I have been told by my appearance I could be intimidating or somewhat of a question mark that will make people think twice before talking to me. Am I a likeable person...I guess. |

I chose 1-3, but i guess is 4-7 for me too. I guess all of us need some time to adjust or have others adjust to us. |
