These 7 Tips Can Help You Impress Your New Boss
If you’re about to start a new job, congratulations! You are officially starting your career and it’s an exciting time. The first day of a new job is always nerve-wracking. You’re meeting your coworkers, getting an office tour, and learning about the company’s culture. The last thing you want to do is make a bad impression on your boss. However, if you want to make the best first impression possible with your boss, there are steps that can help ensure this happens. I have compiled seven tips that will help you impress your new boss.
1. Arrive early to the office on your first day
There are several reasons that you want to arrive early on your first day, the first being that everyone will take notice that you did. This shows your eagerness to begin your new journey. Also, it will give you extra time to get comfortable in your new environment. Did you know where you will park? Is there a special protocol to enter the building, e.g. check-in with security? Do you know where the restrooms are? Can you navigate to your new desk without assistance? While in most cases, people will be helpful and gracious to you on your first day, you don’t want to leave them with the impression that you are unprepared. So show you are prepared by arriving early.
