If this is your first day to go to work, you must be feeling a hardening of your stomach because of stress. Some have said that the feeling is akin to the first day of going to high school. Granted that this feeling is very common, it doesn't mean that you just grit your teeth and face the day with firm determination.

There are better ways of being a successful employee even if it is your first day of work. Follow these tips and you will have a good first day at work.

1. Get there early

Being there on time, even a bit earlier, is the best way to impress your boss and your co-workers. Showing up early is a good way to show your boss that you are eager to do your job. On the evening before your first day, try to get enough sleep so that your mind and body will be relaxed when you get up in the morning.

2.  Ask questions

Being a new employee on his first day of work, you are not expected to be efficient and organized. But you can make your first day less stressful if you will ask questions. Ask your boss, and your co-worker as to what is expected of you and how you can do your job better without causing them a lot of inconveniences. Be sure that the questions you ask are pertinent and related to the work you are required to perform.

3. Don't be timid

Being a newbie, you will naturally feel awkward but try to control yourself. The night before, try to brush up on our social skills and anticipate the things that you will face at the workplace. Don't be shy, but don't be over confident either. Just relax and try to be more outgoing especially if your friends consider you as an introvert.
