tips on starting new job

Hey people,

My first day at a new job is coming up and I was wondering if anyone here has tips for starting a new job. I guess I'm kinda used to having some authority at my job and I imagine it'll be a little bit of a "culture shock".

TIA.
 
I was told to dress down after I got there my first day... oops... they got rid of the tie policy and never told me. 🙂

BTW, trial by fire is the best way to learn how things work. Don't be intimidated just cause they're throwing a whole bunch of $#!t at you. I really can't think of any first-day-musts you should know...
 
take everything in. Be part of the team and do what your told.

You can take risks later. Now you're just trying to get used to how the place runs.
 
yeah, remember people's names

You'll be meeting 10 or 15 people and you won't be paying attention when you get introduced. Let me tell you, it looks very impressive when a day later you say hi to everyone saying their name.

When I was interning I did that and when I left my boss was like we knew you would be awesome from the first day because you remembered everyone's names after only 1 introduction.
 
Be social, the workplace becomes alot better when you can talk amongst each other and learn to enjoy each other's company.

Make a bad first impression, that way you only got one way to go, up. Maybe two ways, out. 🙂

Is this where we say... ONLY IN AMERICA...
 
be socialable, but don't be the guy that keeps talking forever. Manners go a long way...don't forget your P's and Q's 🙂
