maybe go home 30 minute later to allow the companys staff or boss feel that you are not tat kind of person which like to go bck earlier . besides , u will give those staff or boss a good impresion haha !!! btw , be yourself is good enough already !!! be natural ,be smart .. then you will work happily also.

Sleep early and reach office early. Be prepared for your hand and smile. You may get tired of smiling and shaking.

Be friendly and humble.

if i were you, i ll call my superior about wat i need to know to help me master the position quickier. i ll call him about what i should i know, website/books that i should study long before 1st day of work.

when u're introduced to other ppl, try ur best remember their name. ask the ppl there about their bg, story and thoughts about the job and environment, i'm sure they ll feel good about it and share them to you.

oh well, u must know who's the 'boss'.

It's a good initiative but I feel like it's a little cocky. Sorry to say so. However, there's always a training and familiarization phase.

Wear white shirt with a plain coloured tie to work.
don't simply sign the agreement without listing down these questions:
-Claims.
-Leaves.
-Resignation and termination terms.
-Working location.

Your first day will be terribly boring or tremendously interesting.
Depending on how you approach people and how is the environment there.
Good luck and cheers.
