Hi, I'm Adriana Girdler, a business productivity specialist with over 20 years in the business.

We've all been there, that first day on the new job, we're excited yet super nervous.

Take a deep breath and follow these steps that I'm gonna share with you and you will rock it.

Often a lack of confidence is due to a lack of preparedness.

Pick out your outfit, figure out what's gonna make you feel really good on that first day, because it is your first impression.

And if you're not too sure what to wear, wear what you wore to the interview and dress up perhaps just a little bit.

Because once you get to the office you'll start to see what exactly the culture and the norm is on what to wear.

Now, you can also call in advance and find out, and that may be also help and service.

Don't forget to pack your bag the night before as well.

Bring all those little things that you don't think about, like paper and pens.

You may even want to bring something to take notes with.

But ideally you want to start working on your first day.

I'm sure they'll provide you with stuff, but just in case sometimes it takes a little bit of time come prepared with all those things.

And your confidence will be great on your first day.

If you have any other suggestions on what to bring on your first day at work, please write it in the comment below.

Don't go to work nervous, even though you may feel nervous.

Listen, you did a lot of prep work, the energy and effort you put into your interviewing got you the job.

You are the right candidate so get excited!

Ensure that you walk into that office with a big smile and have a boost of confidence, and that will pay you back in spades.

Say hi to as many people as you can on your first day.

Look them in the eye, have open body language, shake their hand and you go to them, introduce yourself.

I have a great video on how to introduce yourself on your first day of the job, check it out.

Not only that, you'll feel much more confident when you get to know a few more people.

So, go ask them out for lunch and you can say things like, "Do you have any lunch recommendations?"

Or even better yet, "Would you like to join me?"

Now, when you actually are sitting down with your new colleagues and having lunch, get to know them.

You can ask them about what it is that they do.

You can also even go on the personal note, maybe even ask them what their favorite Netflix series is that they're watching.

I know it can really be easy to do that, like, "Hey what's the latest scoop on the people I should be aware of?"

Don't do that, it will put you in a bad bad way.

And I have a really good video on office gossip you really want to check out.

Avoid that at all costs and particularly on your first day.

The best thing you can do when you're new and particularly on your first day on a job is listen, listen, listen.

People have a lot to tell you, not only from a learning perspective but they're showing you how the culture is at work.

So take advantage of that, soak in as much as you can.

You need to be a hundred percent present when you're at work.

So turn your cell phone off or at least put it on vibrate.

You don't want to be picking up that device as you're talking to people.

That's not a way to show that you're listening and you're giving them full attention.

Another thing you want to consider as well is go to LinkedIn, check out your colleagues, find out about them, see what their profile is all about.

It will give you some additional insight as to who they are, and the people you're working with.

Now that you're confident for your first day on the job, learn even more tips on how to impress your boss.
