1/5
Maintain optimism
It’ll never turn out well if you believe it won’t. Although the job scope and demands may not sound the most ideal, you never know what can come out of it. Amidst the possibly arduous workload or malicious superior, there are bound to be additional perks one can be grateful for. As they say, every cloud has a silver lining. Moreover, this positive outlook is likely to manifest itself in your work, thus, elevating your productivity.
2/5
Psyche yourself up
Mind over matter. Be it constant self-assurances or simply being ready for the new type of work required, mental preparation is more crucial than you think. It strengthens your mentality and boosts your confidence. Not only that, it prevents any potential shocks on your first day which could diminish your efficiency and effectiveness.
3/5
Possess humility
As much intelligence as you may possess, you will most affirmatively lack in the experience department. Even if you’ve been in that particular line of work before, a new workplace entails different systems and ways of functioning. Assuming an attitude of teachability and flexibility will not only allow you to be on task, but also leave a positive first impression on your colleagues.
4/5
Be confident to meet new people
Being situated in a foreign environment with complete strangers is undeniably daunting. However, if you put yourself in your colleagues’ shoes, you’ll see that there is really nothing to be afraid of. As wild as your imagination may run, your colleagues most definitely don’t have ostracizing or criticizing you on their minds. If anything, they’ll be more than willing to help you ease into your new job quickly, given that they’ve all experienced the same phase and emotions.
5/5
Give one hundred and ten percent
Nothing would please your boss more than seeing you give your absolute best in your assigned tasks. Even though mistakes are inevitable, no one can fault you if you’re putting in your best effort. Plus, this will probably result in a faster completion of your work and an earlier dismissal for the day.

Don’t read this before going to work. You don’t want to be late on your first day.
