What to write in a New job card
A new-job card is a chance to mark a real achievement and send someone into it with confidence. Here's how to write one that's proud, specific, and forward-looking.
Acknowledge the work behind the win. A new role usually follows months of effort, nerves and near-misses — nodding to that ('you worked for this') means far more than a generic 'well done'.
Then back them for what's next. The start of a job can be as daunting as it is exciting, so end on confidence: you believe in them, and the new place is lucky to have them.

How to get it right
Honour the effort
Mention the work that got them here, not just the result.
Back them for day one
Send them in with confidence — remind them they've got this.
Make the pride personal
Say why you, specifically, are proud of them.
Proud and encouraging
You worked for this and it shows. Walk in on day one knowing you've already earned your place.
They have no idea how lucky they are yet. They'll find out. Congratulations on the new job.
New chapter, same brilliant you. Go and make it yours — so proud of you.
The hard part's done; the exciting part starts now. Back yourself out there. Congratulations.
For a colleague or friend
Gutted to lose you, thrilled for where you're going. Go and be brilliant — you will be.
Onwards and upwards, and so well deserved. Keep in touch, and good luck in the new role.
Watching you land this has made my week. Congratulations — they've got a good one.
New job, new lanyard, same legend. Wishing you a brilliant start.
Short and sweet
Congratulations on the new job — go get 'em.
Knew you'd do it. So proud. Good luck!
Well deserved. Onwards and upwards!
New job, big future. Wishing you the best.
Questions
What if it's a promotion rather than a new job?
Same idea — celebrate the recognition and the work behind it. 'Long overdue' and 'they finally caught on' both land well for a promotion.
What's a good short message for a new job?
Keep it confident and warm: 'Knew you'd land it — go and be brilliant' says plenty in a line.
