3
Your first few days on the job could make or
break the rest of your experience at your new
company.
4
You only get one chance to make a first
impression on your new coworkers, supervisor and
the other managers.
5
These tips will help you to make sure that the
impressions of yourself are positive and true to
your character.
6

• CONSIDER YOUR APPEARANCE

7

• If business casual is the typical dress code of
  your new employer, err on the side of dressing a
  little more formally.

8

• During your interviews, be aware of what people
  in your position are wearing.

This will give you a good idea of what is
generally accepted on the job.
9

• Choose one or two accessories such as a watch or
  earrings.

Keep your hair and body clean and free of odors.
10

• Minimize the use of cologne or perfume, as these
  can trigger allergy attacks in sensitive
  individuals.

Check the employee handbook about dress code
guidelines.
11

• PRESENTING YOURSELF

12

• The way that you present yourself on the job is
  also important to making a good first impression.

13

• Make sure to arrive a few minutes early at the
  start of your work day.

This gives you a chance to use the restroom, fill
your water bottle and get situated at your desk.
14

• Arrive at meetings a minute or two early and with
  everything that you will need, such as a tablet
  or a pad of paper and pen.

15

• Use good manners, addressing people with courtesy
  and asking them what they would prefer to be
  called if they do not let you know first.
• Take a moment to hold doors or hold the elevator
  for people.

16

• BE MINDFUL OF RULES AND POLICIES

17

• Keep in mind the formal and informal ways of
  conduct in the workplace.
• This might include refilling the copy paper tray
  if you empty it or brewing a new pot of coffee if
  you pour the last cup.

18

• Take note of what other employees do in regards
  to making or receiving personal calls or text
  messages.

19

• FORM PERSONABLE RELATIONSHIPS

20

• Getting to know your new coworkers is also
  important to making a good first impression.
• Familiarize yourself with the names and desk
  locations of your coworkers.

21

• Find out which projects they are currently
  working on and how those projects relate to what
  you will be doing.
• Learn about the skills that your coworkers have
  and how you will be working together as a team.

22

• Pay attention to how much time you spend on
  non-work related conversations.
• A comment about the local college football team's
  recent win or the beautiful weather is fine

23
but off-color jokes, comments or gossip would
not make a good impression to your coworkers or
employers.
24

• LEAVE YOUR PROBLEMS AT HOME

25
Avoid discussing your personal problems at work.
If your babysitter flaked out on you at the last
minute or you have a blister on your foot that is
bothering you, do not discuss these issues.
26
Talking about these things could make others
think that you have a poor attitude or that you
are disorganized.
27
Start each day at your job with a fresh mind and
a positive outlook for the day.
