上班第一天如何适应工作（1）

Before any big “first day,” remember what our parents always told us, “Just be yourself!” It sounds cheesy, but it’s true. For example, if you’re more of a calm, mellow kind of person and on your first few days at the office you’re overly friendly, hyper, and super smiley, chances are your act won’t last. When your true colors show a few weeks down the line, people might think you’re a phony. The classic rule of being polite and smiling goes a long way.

在任何重大的“第一天”之前，记住父母一直对我们说的“做你自己！”虽然听起来千篇一律，但这是真理。例如：如果你性格比较沉着、稳健，而工作开始的几天中，你过于友善、活跃、笑容可掬，那么你的做作可能不会持续多久。等到几周后你“原形毕露”时，人们也许认为你这个人很虚伪。礼貌待人、面带微笑的经典原则才能持久。

2. Let people talk about themselves.

让别人谈谈他们自己

In a new job, it’s crucial to remember people’s names and titles, so meeting all your new coworkers on the same day can be overwhelming. Try writing things you want to remember in a notebook. When meeting a new coworker, simply ask, “So tell me about yourself. How did you end up at this company?” The person’s reaction and answer can tell you a lot about her. Hearing a little bit of her story will help you to remember her name, position, as well as her manner.
