Everyone will have a "first
day on the job", and there are
social cues that we should
always follow in order to
fully jump right into our new
professional spaces.

If you're networking or
meeting a new group of
people, it an be tempting to
talk only about what your
goals. But resist this urge.
Learn about what others
want, and foster a
collaborative atmosphere by
contributing your skills to
those goals. It will come back
to you!

Every company is different.
Never assume you just
know the company culture.
Observe, and follow the leads
of the more established.
Don't call someone by a
name they didn't ask you to
use, and outside of
handshakes don't assume
physical contact is okay.
Learn the boundaries, and
stay within them.

Stay humble.

Work for every inch; never
coast by on your natural
ability alone. If you've just
started a position, you
shouldn't be asking for a
raise. Even if you solved a
problem or met all
expectations in your first
few weeks ... remember
that was what you were
hired to do in the first
place.

Keep it positive.

Workplace gossip is never
really worth it. When you
come to a disagreement with
a coworker (and that's a good
thing controlled conflict
shows minds approaching a
situation from different
angles) be respectful and
take the high road.
