How to Survive and Thrive in Your First 90 Days on the Job

In elementary school, your life revolved around marking periods.

In college, you were judged by the semester.

If you just landed your first job in the insurance industry, you’ll soon learn that everyone’s focused on the quarter — three months, or 90 days. It’s how companies are evaluated, and sometimes how employees are measured as well.

Think of your first 90 days at your new job as the first quarter of the rest of your career. It’s symbolic and can influence how you are perceived by your supervisors and co-workers for the rest of your time at the company.
