They say that first impressions are everything, which can make the first day of work at a new position of employment even more nerve wracking. There are several things that you can do to not only survive your first day on the job but leave a lasting impression.

While you do want to look smashing on your first day, it may not be the best time for experimenting with a new do, makeup, or perfume/cologne. It is important to simply look like the competent person that you are without dressing in a way that is inappropriate for the position. You do want to dress to impress, however, it might be best to worry about just blending in rather than wearing something that will set you apart in a negative way.

Oftentimes new employees are under a probationary period for the first few weeks and months, you will be under far more scrutiny than employees that have been there much longer. So, on your first day at the office be ready to work and ready to learn how they do it there. While you might be used to things being done one way, your new employer might want it done a different way. Be ready and open to listen, observe, and ask questions.

Beware of office politics that can wreak havoc on the new employee who doesn't know who is in who's good graces and who is not. If you concentrate on simply learning your position, you might be blessed with avoiding the politics that creep into every work situation.

By the end of your first day at the grinding stone you should be able to find the essentials including the office supply area, restroom, and break room. It should be quite clear to you what your contact numbers are, including the office phone number, fax number and email address. You should have a good handle on the names of your co-workers and their responsibilities. Also, knowing your own responsibilities and projects, both long term and short term, is important.

Do not expect to remember everything; simply writing down the important points to refer back to may help you remember things quicker. It might not be a bad idea to keep the antacids handy for those inevitable jitters that occur on the first day of working somewhere new. Normally the first day of work goes by quickly and does not generally drag on, as there is so much to do and cover it can be difficult to fit it all in. The days that follow will reinforce all you have learned on the first day.
