I came across a great post on www.culpwrit.com that shares a lot of great tips on how to survive the first day and week on the job when the days are a bit "uncertain." Ironically, it was posted on June 1st, 2009-- a year ago from the day i'll be starting. OH THE IRONY! HA!
I've posted the best tips they suggest below:
1. Ask questions!
2. Be proactive--if you're not assigned anything review the industry's publications, clients, blog, and website to to get a feel for the company culture.
3. Be friendly!--try to meet and connect with as many people as you can. First impressions are everything.
4. Appearance--lay your clothes out the night before so you won't be rushing to throw something together in the morning.
5. (My personal tip) At the end of the day, it is essential to follow up with your supervisor either by email or in person about what you accomplished throughout the day. This will not only set a great impression based on trust and competency but it also shows your initiative.
