First Day of Work
Congratulations on getting a job!
Whether it is your first job or a change of job, now that you are starting work in a new environment with new boss(es), new colleagues and perhaps new job scope can be intimidating ...
Useful Tips
- Find out as much information as you can get from the company website or internet before you start work. You will look impressive when you can relate to the company products or culture.
- Have a good sleep the night before so that your mind is clear and well prepared for the first day of work.
- Don't be late. Make sure you give allowance for traffic congestion and target to be 10 - 15 minutes before official start time.
- Dress appropriately for the job (comply with company dress code if there is any)
- Observe how the staff interact among peers and bosses, look out for any specific company culture.
- Listen more, talk less. Learn with open mind.
- Show respect for your colleagues that they know their job. Avoid giving comments on first day as you are not familiar yet with how things work.
- Understand your job scope, your boss communication and management style.
- Stay out of office politics if you witness any.
Above all, be polite and friendly to all the people you meet on your first day! Try to remember names, who is who...
