職場英語范例:今天是第一天上班

No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the right impression- not the wrong one - from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are seven tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job:

1. First impressions can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code （rules about what you can wear to work）。 If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean. 第一印象很難改變，所以你要留下個好印象。在第一天上班之前，要弄清你的新工作是否有著裝規(guī)范（即你該穿什么去上班）。如果有，一定按照要求去做。不管是何種要求，永遠要保持整潔。

2. Get to work on time. Employers value employees who come to work right on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time. 按時上班。雇主看重那些按時上班的雇員。你應該早出發(fā)15分鐘，**能按時到。

3. Pay attention to introductions. One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around. 注意聽介紹。你的上級首先可能做的事情之一是把你介紹給同事。這些同事對你可很重要。當老板不在時，他們可以回答你的問題。

4. Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you your job duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself. 多問問題。一定要明白上司要求你做的事情，如果他沒具體告訴你工作職責，就應索要工作目錄，然后每天、每星期給自己定一個工作目標。

5. Do not take too long for lunch. What is the lunch-hour policy at your new job? You can find out from your supervisor or your company's personnel department. For example, do people eat at their desks or does everyone take a full hour outside the workplace？午飯時間不要太長。你的新工作單位對午飯有什么規(guī)定？你可以從你的上級或者公司的人事部門那里了解到。譬如，雇員是在自己的寫字臺就餐，還是有一小時的時間到外邊就餐？

6. Do not make personal phone calls. You should never make personal phone calls to your friends and family unless it is an emergency. 不要打私人電話。除非有緊急情況，不要給朋友或家里打私人電話。

7. Never be the first one to leave. Observe how your co-workers behave around quitting time. It does no look good for you to be eager to leave. 絕不要第一個離開辦公室?？纯茨愕耐碌较掳鄷r的舉動如何。急于要走是不好的。
