Expression for "The time period in which I started working in my current workplace"

Question

James started to work at place X since 20th February 2019.
Which phrase should be used to refer to the time period which is the beginning of his work at that workplace?
For example (the following is bad English):
"At the beginning of my work at X I used to joke with lots of colleagues."
I seek to replace most of "At the beginning of my work at X" with a phrase.

“When I first worked at X” seems to fit your need in your second example.
The first example has not quite the same structure. It might be expressed as “James first worked at X from 20th ...” or “... first worked at X after 20th ...”
I prefer after to since because since is often used to imply that whatever started at some time is still happening. And that is not necessarily the case here: James or I may have left the job.
