I am about to start a new job and Im a little nervous about it- its within the same industry but with a different company and with new people and a totally different area from where i used to work. How can I make a very good first impression to the whole staff? I've already made a good impression to my future boss and my boss's boss... and they like me. How can I make it stay that way???

Be easy-going and open with everyone. Don't let anyone run over you (you don't want anyone to think that you are some weak, mindless fool). Get to know everyone and, above all, be a great team-player.

Just be yourself. Don't try to hard to be peoples friends. People are always wary of the new guy. Take it day by day. Your nervousness is normal. Listen to all that goes on around you. Join in when approriate. You did so well on your other job, do the same things that got you this job. And,bringing in the bagles and donuts can't hurt either. (smile). Good luck!

Smile and say good morning. Do your job, double-check your work, share your knowledge, don't complain, don't listen to complainers, dress appropriately for the position and the type of company it is, and don't gossip.

Obviously you have what it takes. Keep doing what you are doing. People don't like fake. People will check you out, don't worry. They'll see and you can start commenting about work and slowly begin personal frienships. That way you also have time to check "them" out.

Be quiet and polite but be an observer you learn more from listing than you do from talking.

lay back and get the lay of the land, see who's who and how they interact.
