3. Research your environment before
diving in.
Sometimes you'll be able to get a sneak peek of
what to expect--for example, you might be
able to find company videos, YouTube channels.
or helpful blogs and forums to prepare you for
your first day. You can also glean tips from what
employees write on. Knowing how relaxed (or
not) a company is, what the "average worker" is
like in your department, or the general dress
code can help you prep for fitting in.

4. Safety.
 Read operating manuals before using a new tool or equipment
 Watch out for others
 Tell a safety coordinator or HR manager if you observe an employee who is
impaired at work by alcohol or drugs - don't wait until someone gets hurt
 Keep the work area clean and report any slip, trip or fall hazards on the job
 Don't be afraid to ask for help and guidance
 Don't rush
 Wear the proper personal protective equipment and clothing
 If you are experiencing pain from doing a job or using a tool report it to a
supervisor or safety manager
 Do not play practical jokes on the jobsite
 Stay on the "safe side" of equipment if there is one.

5. Respect everyone.
It doesn't matter where you are in the pecking order
or where anyone else is. Treat everyone with the
same high level of respect, from the entry-level
employee to the CEO. Nobody cares where you
went to school or how great of a student you were.
Don’t be arrogant. Don’t try to act like a managing
partner from first day. It’s OK to be junior. Nobody
expects you to be managing the whole division. In
fact, they’ll resent you if you try to act like you are.

6. Punctuality & Sincerity.
One has to be timekeeping about ones duty.
Entering & leaving time is also an important
factor. Honesty and sincerity is also need to
go up.

7. Practice saying yes.
You might feel overwhelmed, but as a newbie
always say yes if someone asks you for
coffee, to lunch, to volunteer on a project or
just about anything else. Being agreeable
comes before being a pushover. You have to
prove yourself before you can say no.

8. Don't complain.
In your first few weeks, you have no room for
complaint. Take initiative, look into why
things are done the way they are, and take
everything as a learning experience. You need
to master the field before you start making
suggestions.

9. To be innovative.
From day one, confirm that you bring
something new to the table. If this applies to
your new position, be sure to offer your boss
or colleagues ideas for how to enhance the
product or company. Most young
professionals in a new job take the back seat
the first few days. “Be there to contribute, or
to volunteer for a project when nobody else
raises their hand.”

10. To be challenging.
Just because you did some research before your interview
doesn’t mean you know enough to be successful there.
Look back at old projects, and find out what has worked
for the company or your team in the past. Once you’ve
had the opportunity to become acquainted with your
new workplace, evaluated the work environment,
observed your fellow employees, and surveyed the office
protocol, work flow and discourse, you should set goals
for yourself.
Getting through the first few days, weeks or months in a
new job is tough, but remember to focus on
what you want to get out of the experience.

11. To be confident.
Don’t be narcissistic, but show your colleagues
that you deserve to be there. Don’t hesitate
to share your thoughts, and believe in your
ability to succeed in your new position. One
way to exhibit confidence: invite your
colleagues to lunch. Haefner says this tactic
shows that you aren’t the typical quiet new
employee.

12. Communicate
Always be in touch and in tune. Speak up and
ask questions, make suggestions and
periodically check in with your boss.
“Listening is just as important as speaking,”.
Start a conversation with your boss to ask
how you’re doing.
Don’t expect constructive feedback without
asking directly for it.
People won’t communicate expectations
clearly (you must ask, clarify, ask again).

13. Separate your personal and professional lives.
Once you’re settled in, avoid making personal
calls, sending personal emails or taking long
lunch breaks. Show that you are dedicated to
your new job and that you want to be there. If
you have nothing to do, offer to take on
another task or help a colleague who looks
overloaded. Not only will you impress the
boss, but the days will fly by.

14. Dress for success.
Start by recreating your wardrobe and sprucing
up your appearance. Dress appropriately for
the job you’ve landed. Remember that first
impressions can be lasting. If you’re dressed
to impress, you probably will. “One size
doesn’t fit all,” “People assume ‘professional’
means a suit, but it depends on the company
or industry”.
