1. Arrive on time … or a little early the first day.
Halloooo?! This is very important, don’t you think? And yes, dress accordingly.

2. Do your administrative stuff: HR, papers, insurance.
Ask about company policies or procedures. Read the employee manual, if any.
Take your badge, uniform or keys.

3. Know your colleagues.
Learn names as much as possible. Man, I am so lousy on that … take notes.
Introduce yourself and ask, “who to ask?!”

4. Get used with your work area … office, kitchen, meeting room, building.
Arrange your work space for your style.
Heeey, don’t bring your pet already. Step by step.

5. Wait for lazy IT guy to install your new computer … just joking.
No, really, listen to their instructions and advice! YOU are the new guy!
Don’t be smart ass! Sooner or later you’ll need them anyway. Believe me!

6. Talk with your Boss.
Define roles and responsibilities, ask for feedback.
Open a communication channel, get involved in any meetings you can get into.

7. Now is time for work.
Already bored?! Take it easy … is your first day, anyway
Establish goals and define your objectives. Do this jointly with your supervisor.

8. Go home!
Think about your past experience, but don’t assume that your new company works the same way as your old company. Make the effort to learn what is different or new.

Good luck!
