Business Gentleman
3 - Bring Some Cash

4 - Be Nice

I know that in this digital card based
world, you would think this silly advice,
but not everywhere you will go will take
cards.
The canteen or coffee shop might be a
cash only affa ir and you don’t want to
hold up the queue discovering this too
late.

This also might seem trite, but people
forget on their first day as they are all full
of their own nerves and get tunnel vision.
Being genuinely nice, makes things
happen; it opens doors, eases projects and
can prove immensely helpful.
It should go without saying that you
should be nice to everyone you meet from
the receptionist to the janitor not only on
day one but it’s a good place to start.

5 - Take Notes
You will forget things, it will be a busy
day of names, information and tasks,
therefore it pays to make notes.
We suggest to keep a little notebook with
you all day, so you can jot down the
name of the boss’s personal assistant,
extension numbers and all those little
things that will slip your mind otherwise.

If you are having a First day - Good Luck!
