There are a few important things you can do to make your first day at work enjoyable and productive.
Here are some questions to ask yourself:
1. What am I here for? What is the purpose of my job?
2. Who are my coworkers? Do they seem friendly, or do they seem like they’re into me?
3. What is the best way to get started? Think about how you can get comfortable with your new place of employment in the first few days, weeks and months that follow.
4. How can I make an impact in this environment? If you don’t feel comfortable yet, try taking on a smaller role — even if it’s just one project — until you feel more confident about yourself as an employee and in your new workplace culture. It may also help to find out what types of projects or tasks others might be looking for help with so that you can bring something valuable to the table when seeking out opportunities for growth within your department or company as a whole.
