After weeks or months of job searching, starting a new job can be both exciting and daunting. First impressions count, so it’s important to make the most of your first day in a job – Take a look at our top tips for making your first day count.

Make sure you prepare accordingly. Plan exactly what you’d like to wear on the day and make sure you get a good night’s sleep.

Make friends. They’ll be a lot to take in on the first day, but make sure you introduce yourself to everyone you meet, be polite and friendly, and don’t be afraid to ask questions if you’re unsure.

Make notes. Take a notepad with you wherever you go – and make notes. You can’t be expected to remember everything, but taking notes of what you learn shows initiative and interest.

Learn the house rules. Find out where you can get a good coffee, the house keeping rules and where all of the facilities are. You don’t want to be caught short!

Do your best. That’s all anyone can ask for – Try to learn as much as you can on your first day, make a good impression, and enjoy your brand new career!
