工作的第一天

　　The first day of work
No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the right impression, not the wrong one from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are six tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job.
1. First impressions can last forever.
Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code¹, rules about what you can wear to work. If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean.
2. Get to work on time.
Employers² value employees³ who come to work right on time. Give yourself an extra fifteen minutes to make sure you arrive on time.
3. Pay attention to introductions⁴.
One of the first things that your supervisor⁵ may do is to introduce you to coworkers. These coworkers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.
4. Ask plenty of questions.
Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he/she has not told you your job duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for your self.
5. Do not make personal phone calls.
You should never make personal phone calls to your friends and family unless it is an emergency.
6. Never be the first one to leave.
Observe how your coworkers behave around quitting time. It does not look good for you to be eager to leave.
