Fresh hygiene, business casual wardrobe (including shoes), and most important a friendly smile.<p>Go around introduce myself to my new colleagues, have lunch with them and try to establish a social network as soon as possible.<p>Again go through your work duties with your supervisor, make sure you have all tools and accesses needed to complete them.<p>Confirm with HR on company rules, work hours, reporting lines (time sheets, sick-leave report) and if they have any onboarding process.<p>Quickly look through your work, collect as many questions and uncertainities as possible and ask your colleagues&#x2F;supervisor.

Always take notes on every meeting, even if it is only a 2 person meeting.
