In the medical device industry, there is a lot of industry jargon and lingo and many acronyms to learn to understand the business. What are some strategies you've used to acclimate quickly when you've started a new job in the past?

"When I started my last job, I heard so much unfamiliar terminology in my first week, so I started making a list. When I had time to ask people or look things up, I'd add them to the list until I knew what everything was. My list became pretty extensive, so the HR person who does onboarding asked me if she could give it to new hires from now on because it was so helpful."

"I love Google. In almost any environment, if you don't know something, you can use Google and go from there. I take the time to research outside of work the elements of the industry that I don't know to get up to speed faster. By the second or third week, I have impressed the people I work with by contributing to the business."
