Being a sponge is a great thing to do

Taking in everything is one of the most critical tasks you'll have your first week. You'll be able to start your real job sooner if you learn about your company's culture, your teammates' working and communication styles, issue projects, office politics, and department or company-wide goals (and be more effective when you do).

So, attend new hire orientation, sign up for professional development seminars, and attend as many team and office meetings as you can, even if you're not sure what's going on or they don't directly relate to your job.

Participate in the unstructured activities as well. Say yes if you're invited to lunch, happy hour, or the workplace softball league (as a player or as a spectator). It's a terrific chance to meet new people while also demonstrating your want to join the team.

Don't: Take on too much responsibility

However, keep your calendar in check—you'll need plenty of time to learn the ropes from your desk. You don't want to appear overworked, overburdened, or late for an appointment because you're delayed someplace else.

Make an effort to inquire

Don't be afraid to ask questions as you learn about new processes, projects, and people. People will want you to come up to speed as soon as possible as a new member of the team. Take meticulous notes on everything you learn, even if it seems insignificant. This week, your head will be overloaded, and writing everything down will ensure that you don't have to ask the same question twice.

Never Be Afraid to Speak Up

At the same time, don't be hesitant to pitch in and offer value—you want to prove to yourself that you're the best candidate for the position! No, you won't know everything (and you shouldn't pretend to! ), but you may provide recommendations or ask questions like "Has this been done before?" in team meetings or brainstorming sessions. And if you've been hired to offer a talent or aptitude to the team, speak up and share your expertise. But keep in mind who you're speaking to. You don't want to come on too strong and tread on anyone's toes.

Make a Helpful Offer

During your first few days on the job, your supervisor and team may experience some downtime while they get used to having you there. Volunteer to assist your new coworkers on a project rather than waiting for others to figure out jobs for you. You'll demonstrate initiative, establish connections with your supervisor and coworkers, and gain knowledge of expectations, processes, and how things are done.

Refusing assistance or advice is a big no-no

If your employer or coworkers offer you advice or offer to assist you with a task or project, take them up on it—even if you think you can do it all on your own. It's a terrific opportunity to get to know your coworkers, and you could learn something useful about the company's standards or a more effective approach to complete the tasks you'll be assigned.

Find a mentor to help you

It never hurts to have a seasoned, competent, and successful expert to bounce ideas off of and learn from, but it's especially beneficial when you're a novice. Examine the area. Who are the organization's shining stars—those who exude likability, self-assurance, and initiative? Make an introduction and pick their minds.

Don't put all your faith in your new mentor

As you navigate your first week, the folks that make you feel most at ease will undoubtedly become your go-tos. However, keep in mind that the time it takes for individuals to assist you is time taken away from their own work. Make an effort to figure things out for yourself first, ask a variety of people when you do have questions, and express gratitude to anybody who assists you.

Maintain Communication with Your Boss

Instead of dropping into your boss's office for every query you have, request regular meetings with her throughout the week. You should utilize this time to inform her on what you're learning and who you're meeting with, in addition to gaining her directions on projects and assignments.

"Are there any other duties or abilities I should be learning?" is a good question to ask. "Can you provide me with feedback on the project I just finished?" and "Can you provide me with feedback on the project I just finished?" to take charge, but also to listen carefully. At this point, your boss's opinion and insight will be one of your most valuable resources—after all, you'll be working for her for the next several weeks, months, and maybe years, so knowing how she thinks early on will be beneficial.

Don't make the mistake of comparing your current job to your previous one

You could probably recall what you liked (or disliked) about your previous job and how this one compares—but don't! You want to give yourself every chance to shine, which means you should keep your early impressions to yourself. You've arrived in a new location with a fresh opportunity, so take use of it and go forward!

Best of luck to you.
