First Day Or Joining Day at Corporate Job

I really understand the anxiety of first day at office. You feel nervous and most of the employees look at you. Thanks to the new corporate culture which makes your transition smooth by conducting induction programs where each department representative comes and explains the actual functioning. These induction programs help you to find other new joinees which have same anxiety as you have. You usually share your thoughts and thus, you find your mate for first lunch or for next couple lunches at new office. 

Now here is important information for you to follow so that you can gel yourself quickly in new office. 

1. Don't just go to your seat, but greet everybody before you settle down. A slightly (a little angle of dip) inclination of head or little smile helps.

2. Don't sit with your head down however participate in discussion whenever you get chance.

3. Roam around in office, read the names before cabins.

4. Learn the complete hierarchy reaching you down. Starting with CEO of the company.

5. If possible throw a party or bring some sweets so that people could know your name atleast. 

6. Meet your first deadline, never skip this. First impression really matters in corporate world.

7. Don't stayback (or do overtime) if not required genuinely, it creates your image that you can always work gray hours. So avoid it intentionally, give any excuse or major one.

8. Go to recreational area and make some friends. You will get to know many real things there.

9. Be open to ask question in meetings, don't ever hesitate. 

10. Just notice, who is the real boss when it comes to work. There might be 5 or 10 colleagues in your team but actually only 1 or 2 is performing employees. Get in tough with them.
