Use these tips to garnish respect from your peers and help you to appear smart and confident from day one. A new job is an exciting time, this is a chance to succeed and be happy.

1. Don’t Brag About Your Skills on the First Day of a New Job

Even managers realize that when they are dressing down, but anyone can get into a funk! Dress above them.

Remember to put thought into your dress attire; revealing, low-cut tops aren’t meant for the office and neither are short skirts.… Keep reading
