Tips for crushing your first job

Take on the changing professional world with the latest tech.

Congrats, new grad. You made it through finals, built a winning résumé and landed your first job out of school. Now get ready, because you’re about to enter a whole new world when it comes to office life. The past few years have brought plenty of changes, which means new challenges are ahead. As you start your first job, you might be full-time in the office, working from home or somewhere in between. Wherever you find yourself, we’ve got tips to help you crush your professional goals and keep a healthy work-life balance.

Multitask like
a pro
Use S Pen with Galaxy Z Fold3 and multitask from anywhere. Split the screen in two and take calls and notes at the same time.
1

Master your morning routine

Whether you’re a digital nomad or  work from home, give yourself a little buffer time in lieu of a commute before switching to “office” mode. Grab a latte at your go-to coffee shop, or whip up your favorite breakfast at home. (We recommend this buttery dried apricot brioche). Once you’re all set with your tasty AM spread, spend a few minutes prepping for the day ahead. Review your to-do list in the Galaxy Z Fold3¹ for a quick refresh of what needs to get done.

Now that you’re organized, it’s time to find the perfect workplace setup. From the neighborhood cafe to your local coworking space, the possibilities are endless. With this new flexible workplace, you need a device that’s up for anything. {3} lets you do it all from anywhere. This productivity tool easily folds to fit in a pocket or bag, then unfolds for an expansive experience. You can use your Z Fold3 to email, communicate in Microsoft Teams² and connect with Galaxy Buds Pro. You can even have hands-free video calls with your boss using Flex Mode.

Switch it up without missing
a beat
With Auto Switch³, your Galaxy Buds Pro detects what connection you need and instantly shifts to that device.

Multitasking
(and monotasking)

From writing and sharing docs to creating multimedia content, you’re juggling more than ever in your new role as a working professional. Tap into a flow state and separate your work from personal tasks (like household chores or entertainment) to manage your time smarter.

Try monotasking—i.e., taking on one task at a time. Tackle short, concrete tasks that are the sole focus of your attention with Galaxy S22 smartphone’s built-in Microsoft integration, share your work with Quick Share⁴, then cross it off your to-do list with a satisfying flourish.

Tune in … or tune out

You’re working from home and in the zone when your roommate suddenly barges in and totally interrupts your groove. Never miss a beat with the active noise cancelling feature on Galaxy Buds Pro to minimize distractions and focus on the task at hand. Put on your favorite productivity playlist and keep the workflow moving!

Breaking (and setting) boundaries

Want to broaden your professional horizons? Be a Metaverse visionary and redefine the hybrid workplace with augmented and virtual reality. Imagine being able to move between digital metaverse environments and spaces as easily as you do currently between your different project documents and trackers. Or being able to turn static digital documents into interactive presentations. Once you’re clocked out, stay clocked out. Set boundaries for yourself. And respect those boundaries. Decide on a time when you will stop checking work emails and manage your Digital Wellbeing with timers on your Galaxy phone or watch.

Despite a rapidly changing professional landscape, you have nothing to fear when it comes to the hybrid workplace. From portability and content creation to seamless document sharing, you can manage your workload—and even make time for a little entertainment.
