Listen. The most important skill to bring to your first day of the job is your listening skill. It is important to remember that you are stepping into an environment that is not familiar with you and your ideas. Even if you have been hired for your good ideas, keep them to yourself until you get a feel for your fellow workers. Your best bet is to just sit back, listen, and take some notes. Figuring out the dynamics of your work environment is very important. Figure out who will work with you and who you may need to become more acquainted with.
