If you are starting work for the first time, returning to work after a long break or simply moving jobs, it can be very daunting but there are some things you can do to calm those first day nerves and tips and advice on how to ensure you have a great first day.
When preparing yourself to start a job, ensure that you have got everything organised the day before. Decide what outfit you are going to wear and make yourself a packed lunch so you know that you have not got to worry about that in the morning.
First day is all about impressions. You need to make sure that you come across as professional and willing to learn. Firstly you need to make sure that you arrive on time. It is better to be early than late and arriving late on your first day is not a good idea. Try to take in any information you are given but do not be afraid to ask if you don’t understand something or have forgotten as most companies will expect this over the first few days.
