Starting a new job
by Rose Walker
“You just got the phone call and the position
is yours. It’s been a long time since you have
started a new job and you need to prepare yourself
for it. Will you really like your new position?
How will the people treat you and can you get
along with them? These are some of the questions
that might run through your mind when you start a
new job. Before you start your new position you need
to get in the right frame of mind, so you can do
the best job you can do.
The first step in preparation for this new
journey is to let all your fears go. Don’t walk into
a new job with fear. This will keep you from
being productive. Having negative thoughts about
your new job will become a reality and this will
cause problems right there. Stay in the same frame
of mind you had when you applied for the
position. This was something that you obviously
wanted to do and was excited about doing. Keep
those same thoughts and attitude when you
actually start working your new job. By keeping
that attitude you will eliminate a lot of your
problems in the beginning with this new position.
Your way of thinking will become your way of
acting. Do a thorough research on your new
company so you can understand what they do and
how you will play a part in it.
Have a good understanding about the
company in full detail so it will give you that ease
you need to have for you to succeed. This will
allow you to have the confidence you will need to
start this new job and you won’t feel so lost when
you start interacting with your co-workers. Having
the right attitude will allow you to get along with
your co-workers even better. Everyone when they
start a new job is considered the new kid on the
block. This can make you feel left out right there,
since everyone usually know everyone else and
already have a comfort zone with each other. You
have to let them know by being in the right frame
of mind when you start that you can work with each and every one of them. If you come in with
that fear, it’s going to seem like you are a
unfriendly person and automatically no one will
want to have anything to do with you. This will be
a bad way to start off on your new job. You plan
to be there for awhile and communicating with
your co-workers on a daily base. Your attitude and the way you present
yourself in the beginning is very important. It will
determine how your relationship will be throughout the job. Getting along with your boss and coworkers is important, it can help you to succeed or
be one of the causes to make you want to leave.
Starting a new job can be a wonderful
experience. Sure all of us are nervous about
stepping into a new environment and meeting and
dealing with new people. That’s what’s so
exciting about it, everything is new. You have to
look at it as a new journey in your life and not a
dreaded trip that you have to make. Erase all those
negative thoughts and fears you have so you can
go in with a positive attitude that will let you be a
positive person. Let this be a new spectacular and
fantastic time in your life. When you stop and
prepare yourself mentally for your new job, you
will be a success at it.”

Gabarito comentado
P
Priscila CoutinhoMonitor com apoio de IA
Gabarito: E
Fundamento decisivo: O critério decisivo é identificar a ideia central do texto a partir do título “Starting a new job” e das passagens “Before you start your new position you need to get in the right frame of mind” e “When you stop and prepare yourself mentally for your new job, you will be a success at it.”; isso indica que o foco é a preparação mental e atitudinal para começar um novo emprego, o que exclui alternativas sobre conseguir vaga, exame, família ou um detalhe isolado.
Tema central: preparação mental para novo emprego
Análise das alternativas
A
Errada
Está errada porque desloca o tema para conseguir um emprego, mas o texto parte do pressuposto de que a vaga já foi obtida: “the position is yours”. Além disso, o título é “Starting a new job”, não getting a job. O critério de exclusão é a diferença entre obter a vaga e iniciar no cargo.
B
Errada
Está errada porque reduz o texto a uma subideia. A passagem “let all your fears go” aparece como “The first step in preparation for this new journey”, ou seja, deixar os medos é apenas uma etapa da preparação, não o tema total. O critério de exclusão é a distinção entre ideia principal e aspecto parcial do desenvolvimento.
C
Errada
Está errada por incompatibilidade temática. O texto trata de emprego, empresa, colegas de trabalho e chefe, como mostram termos centrais como “company”, “co-workers” e “boss”. Não há eixo temático sobre família. O critério de exclusão é o confronto com o campo semântico efetivamente presente no texto.
D
Errada
Está errada porque não há suporte textual para prova ou exame. O texto não aborda study, test ou exam, mas sim adaptação ao início de um novo trabalho. O critério de exclusão é a ausência de base textual para o tema proposto.
E
Certa
A alternativa E é a única que retoma o núcleo temático do texto sem restringi-lo a um detalhe. Ela sintetiza a orientação geral do autor sobre entrar em um novo trabalho com postura mental adequada, enquanto as demais opções deslocam o assunto para conseguir emprego, eliminar medos como fim em si, família ou prova.
Pegadinha da questão
A banca explora a confusão entre tema central e detalhe do texto: “let all your fears go” parece importante, mas é só um passo dentro da preparação mental para começar o novo emprego. Também há distração entre starting a new job e getting a job.
Dica para questões semelhantes
- Em comandos como “The text is about”, procure a síntese global do texto, não uma frase isolada do desenvolvimento.
- Use o título como delimitador temático inicial e confirme com trechos reiterados ao longo do texto.
- Se o texto já pressupõe uma situação dada, como “the position is yours”, elimine alternativas que recuem para uma etapa anterior.
- Desconfie de alternativas que capturam apenas um passo do texto; verifique se elas abrangem o objetivo maior expresso pelo autor.
