This might sound obvious, but make sure they have a computer. Only in one job have I have had a computer on the first day, two of which I wouldn't call it computer because it might have been a machine but had no OS and/or email, and that's in 7 positions (companies/departments) over 20 years including (because of?) government and F500s, in one case it took 2 weeks and that was an internal transfer, no checks needed. Preferably with the OS and overall environment that you and they are OK with.
- quickthrower2 7y agoWhat the? Every job I’ve had a computer on the first day since 2000!
- kzisme 7y agoMy last job I didn't receive my machine for well over a month. I was told to use my personal machine until the provided one arrived.
- marapuru 7y agoThis. Very valuable advise. I've been in this situation often as well. Although I personally don't make a big deal about using my own laptop, network administrators within the company often did. It's a pain not having the necessary tools there. And most of all, it makes it look as if the company doesn't know what to prepare for the new employee.
