Maximizing Your Probation Period

Assalamualaikum w.b.t and greetings,

Starting a new job is exciting, but there’s always that one hurdle before full stability—the probation period.

For some, it feels like walking on a tightrope, where every step is monitored and one misstep could cost them the job. For others, it’s just another box to tick before getting that “confirmed” status. But here’s the thing: probation is not just a test for you—it’s a two-way street.

Yes, the company is evaluating whether you fit the role, the culture, and the expectations. But at the same time, you should also be evaluating whether this is a place where you see yourself thriving. It’s not just about surviving probation—it’s about making the most of it.
