What is the FIRST thing that you usually do when you start a new job? in other words, what is your working strategy/work ethic to start your new job on a high note? I want to make a good impression on my team and manager when I start my new job. I'm an early career millennial and this is my first time changing jobs. Can everyone tell me their personal Do's/Don'ts? (All of this is assuming I interviewed and know the subject matter)
Be nice to people, compliment their work, be enthusiastic.
First you work on your reputation, then your reputation works for you. Make sure that your first few months are really solid. Also, if you have a good sense of humor, don't be afraid to show it.
First one to arrive last one to leave? Sort of that ?
No, don't do that, you'll be hated by the rest of the team. Just do the regular hours but make sure you deliver high quality work. If you need extra time, don't let anybody know and work from home.
