First Day at Work ?

First Day at Work ?

First of all, Congratulations on securing a job !! Well done. 

Preparation for the first day:

May be this is your first job or your changing job to new employer,  you will have to prepare for the first day to make sure you leave good impression on your employer. Below is the list of Items I would prepare for my first day at work.

Know when and where to report?

 This may sound obvious but it gets slipped through many occasions.   This is absolutely crucial.   From all the communications that you have had with the future employer, make sure you have got the details on where to go on your first day. and make sure you also have the details of contact person or person to report to on the joining day.   That last thing you want is showing up late on the joining day.

Prepare for awkward conversation:

For some people it is an easy thing to initiate conversion with new people and go in with it for hours but for the most,   It is hard to engage in a conversation with a stranger. That is when bit of mental preparation helps. You have to see yourself in it. Probably,  Practice few mins with a friend or just in front of the mirror, Your friend or other character of you being reporting person. 

Be confident and bold:

You have gone past all the hurdles to secure a job,  that means your employer wants you to work for the organisation .  Just remember that.  A Firm handshake with confident greeting will set the things for the rest of the day. 

Refresh your skills:

You will meet one guy at least who wanted to inquire and investigate  your capabilities straight on your first day.   So expect that and prepare for it.
