you should always make yourself productive. Depending on what you are doing for your career. Straighten the desk, dust, take the trash out, just clean whatever you feel would help your boss out. Even if the corporate maintenance manager does all the dirty work, it will make you look better and they will think that you are a "self-motivator" Which is always a key characteristic in a professional atmosphere. Goodluck!!! :)

Ask your boss what constructive thing you can do. Maybe you can read company policy manuals or something. Maybe you can hang out with an experienced worker and just observe what he/she does and occasionally ask questions for better understanding. If nothing else, most likely you could help answer phones, organize files, or clean something. Boring but if your goal is to make a good first impression, surfing the web is probably not the best thing to be doing.

Get a hobby.
Make website or blog on your favorite entertainers.
About once a week I do surveys online.
So far I've earned over $160 with Fusion Cash.
A friend of mine told me about Fusion Cash and I wasn't sure about it at first then I finally gave it a try and made $80 in 3 hours. And they give your $5 for just signing up. So you don't lose anything. I just completed surverys and was sent trial products,which my family and I enjoyed.

You get extra $ when you refer your friends, which is a great bonus, but I find completing the surveys to be just as benefical.

Find something useful to do... don't surf the net, that won't make a good impression at all. And don't do "nothing"...
See if you can help someone else with something, tidy up, whatever. Organize your desk, or just start reading up on files you will be working with (or something that relates to what you do) to get familiar with your job.
Maybe they have an office manual or procedures guide? Find SOMETHING to do... every office has things that are behind, like filing...

I hope that you are joking. You should always be working. If you have completed all of your assigned tasks you have a few options;
1. Ask your Supervisor for something else to do.
2. Ask one of your peers if they need a hand.
3. Take it upon yourself to do something that you know needs done and that will help the organization.
I have terminated people for excessive abuse of their Internet privileges. You do not want to have that happen to you. P.S. erase your cookies when you are done.

Start cleaning or ask if anyone needs help with anything. I'm sure they realize you may have some dead time since you have just started, but trying to find something to do with look very good and is what you should do anyway.

Clean our your desk. Organize your files. Water the plants. Study anything you can find about the business. Ask coworkers if they need any help. Make coffee for everyone.... In other words, make yourself useful

Ask if there is anything you can do. Take the initiative. Or ask if there are any manuals or documents that would help you in your job that you should read. Good luck

Ask someone to tell you what you should be doing. You won't keep your job long if they see you playing around on the internet instead of working.

There is usually something you can do. I'm not sure what your job is but surely there is something you can organize or clean. Maybe file some paperwork?
