Whether it is your first day at a new job or you've been there for years, here are great tools for everyday working people! These tips will help you start off your day well and get you on the right track for success!

1. Dress the Part! You may think that you're done impressing since you got the job... think again! This is your first time meeting 'the team!' Dress to impress. Want ideas? You can't go wrong with - a dark blazer/cardigan, neutral-colored shirt/blouse (that is appropriate without the blazer) and dark fitted (but not tight) pants. More specific ideas on professional outfits to come in an upcoming blog!

2. Review the company's website, and your role and responsibility. I know you probably looked at the company's site before your interview, but review it one last time. Why? Before, you probably looked on the site, for the company's address, to get quick little facts, or to get a very general understanding of what they actually do. Now, you gotta go past that - you need to know what the company goals are, where they are headed - so you can start to think about how best YOU will fit in. Come prepared and have an idea of what's expected of you.

3. Don't underestimate traffic! - especially if you know you don't live close to the company, or if you are not used to driving during rush hour! Plan accordingly and don't rush to work on your first day! However, plan well because you don't want to be sitting in the lobby because you came an hour early!

**General rule: being 5 minutes early is now being on time, and being on time, is now late!

4. Bring Food! - Everyone needs to eat! But this is especially important for those who have dietary restrictions, like vegans, vegetarians or if you're lactose intolerant, etc. Even if the company 'seems' like they would provide lunch on the first day, or food is just not that important to you, you should still pack a lunch. Remember, you will be working and learning for 8 hours!

5. Get Social! Yes, you don't really know people - well besides that one HR lady, but that won't help once you're out on the floor. And Yes, you are going to talk to your team members, your boss, and that random person in the break room! So Yes, you will have to talk and get out of your comfortable zone a little. So come ready to interact because at this point, you don't know who is who and who can help!

Hopefully this quick list was helpful! Have a great first day! Thanks for reading.
