 First things first, congratulations on getting the job. Now that you have a job, you are wondering how to make that first great impression. So regardless of which job you have applied to, here are some universal tips and tricks to slay that first day. Tip number one is prepare to learn. A few things you can remember to learn are the company's mission, policy and goals. Then try to get an understanding about your roles and responsibilities. Lastly, clear out your logins and all the other techs that are required for you to do the job. Tip number two is nap your travel. So in the time leading up to the main day, figure out your commute to the office, how long it takes and what are the expenses. So on the main day you reach on time and even if you reach early that's perfectly fine as what you're trying to do is not keep people waiting. Tip number three is carry a mini meal and eat well. Although you're incredibly excited, what you want to do is get a good amount of rest so that you wake up on time, eat well before you head for the big day. You do not want to be getting hangry towards your colleagues. So also try and carry some food with you in your travel bag so that in case you do not even have much time, you can quickly grab a bite and keep up the energy for your first day, which is a very important day. Tip number four is prepare a list of questions. On the first day you are meant to learn a lot of things, but this can get really overwhelming. So prepare a list of questions. Try and answer at least four questions at the end of the day. Question number one, who do you report to? Second, how is your work performance reviewed? Third, who are the heads of department? Fourth, how often do we have team metrics? These simple questions will at least help you get through the day and during the training, if you are not able to remember everything that's all tried, do not put too much pressure on yourself, just go ahead and inquire again. The more clarity you gain, the better it is. Tip number five is befriend at least one person at work. Yes, the traffic is horrible, the weather is worse and the commute to your office needs some getting used to. Regardless, stay off your phone on the first day of work and put on a smile. The more approachable you are, the easier this task gets. Why you need someone at least with some familiarity at work days is so that you can get a better understanding about how your work culture is. You can get answers to questions that you feel are comparatively silly to go to the manager for and at Macs, you'll have some company for lunch. On some days, that essentially becomes the highlight of the day.
