You have just landed your new job? Congratulations! Now, how will you behave? Starting a new job is a really exciting step in everyone’s career. Unfortunately, stress is an integral part of this process.

Don’t worry. Remember that you have already passed the recruitment process and now you just need to deliver what you promised in your interview.

Let’s take a look at some informal rules you should follow in order to present yourself well during your first days.

Make sure not to be bothered while working. Prove your employer that you are a professional. It’s all about the first impression.
