First Day at Work Checklist

Your first day of work at a new job can be full of nerves and suspense.

Afterall, it is a new environment, with new rules and processes, and new people to meet and get along with.

While you may have felt comfortable, maybe even complacent, at your previous job, you know this move is better for you and your family in the long-term.

As-such, you'll power through and forge your way to success at your new company.

While our 100 motivational first day at work quotes will help you to feel both inspired and motivated, you should ensure that you have your belonging ready and prepared before the big day.

Ideally, you should have your work clothes ready and prepared the night before, this will help you to avoid running late by not knowing what to wear.

Secondly, and a bit more personally, don't forget to take care of basic hygiene.

This includes shaving, trimming, or shaping-up of the beard and any facial hair.

As you will be meeting a ton of new people throughout the day, you should put on copious amounts of deodorant and be a little liberal with your perfume or cologne.

Besides clothing and hygiene, you should bring with you a professional notebook, professional pens, and a professional looking backpack.

These items will help you to set a precedent for how you want to look and be treated at your new place of employment.
