On your first day at work make sure you go on time. First of all, make sure you know how to get there and what means of transport to use. Don't go 5 or 20 minutes late. Don't go too early either. This is unprofessional.
Take a notebook and a pen with you. This will allow you to write down important information that you need to know. You may use them to write down important telephone numbers, duties that you must do on the job or names of people you will be working with. Make sure you know who your supervisor is and what you need to do exactly.
If you are not sure about doing something, stop and ask the people around you. The first day on the job is the most dangerous one for all workers. They have to learn how machines operate and what to do in an emergency. Make sure the place you work at is safe for you and for the people who work with you.
Take your lunch with you in a lunchbox. The company that you will work for will not provide you with food to eat. They may provide you with tea and coffee only. Sometimes they may provide employees with biscuits. Other companies provide workers with hot and cold water only. It depends what company you work for. When you take your food to work, make sure you don't take food that has a strong smell. This will put off other workers who are in the same lunch room with you.
Remember the security code for the doors you will be using. Don't write the security codes down in your notebook. Other people may find them and gain access.
Ask about internal telephone numbers that you may need to use while working. Write down these numbers and try to remember them.
Try to remember the names of the people you will be working with. Have friendly conversations with them and avoid talking about politics or religions.
It is important to let other people have a good first impression about you. You don't want them to think that you are lazy or slow. It is good to smile when you meet strangers at work. Smiling is contagious. This means that when you smile, others will smile too.

On your first day you are expected to ask many questions until you understand how things are done. If you ask the same questions after that, people will start thinking that you are slow or that you don't understand the instructions that they gave you.
At work you will surely meet a lot of helpful people. You may also meet some people who you will not feel comfortable working with. They like reporting every thing they see to the manager and like putting others in trouble. This can happen anywhere in any country. Just keep it in mind.
