I'll be having my first day at work this Monday, July 5. I had my internship for 6 months and had my previous work as a part time junior developer. So it's really not my first time to work. I'm just partly excited and nervous that I'll be working full time for a well known company in the IT industry. I am also anxious because I will be working in a new field and the company that I've worked before is just so small compared to the company that I'll be working for right now.
How was your first day at work went? Can you give me some advice on what should I wear or what should I do before, during or after my first day at work? Any reminders perhaps? I will really appreciate all the help. Thanks.

Just prepare yourself for the big day! don't stress yourself on Sunday. Go to church and ask God's blessing and guidance and also don't forget to thank Him for giving you a great job. And wear something decent in your first day at work, possibly business or semi business attire will do.

I will definitely go to church and ask for God's blessing tomorrow. I'm really blessed to have a job, now that there is a global financial crisis. Thanks. I also think I need to shop for new clothes tomorrow.

You might have noticed how people dressed up there when you were still going there for an interview. If they usually wear too corporate outfits, then do so. If it seems that they're okay wearing simple shirts and jeans, then join them. Just make sure that you still look presentable in front of your boss or clients. Also, try to be simple, humble, not too loud and friendly but not too much so as not to intimidate other people. Be natural.
I'm happy for your new job. Congratulations!
Cheers,
Honey

My first day at work here in the company where I am working for was June 22. It was also on a Monday. It think its always on a Monday. I have been working here for a year already but I am not a regular employee yet because the management is afraid of increasing our rates.

The only thing I remembered about my first day at work was the smile and "Hi!" I gave to everyone I met. There were lots indifference as there were with friendly smiles and "Hi!" in return. Honestly I couldn't care less with those who did not because I was doing it sincerely and happily. Many years now I still have friends who remind me of my smile on my first day at work.
