Here are 15 important ways making sure you get off on the right foot:
1. Take a break. Take a week off between jobs to clear your head. At the very least, sleep tight before your first day, so you will be at your best.

6. Look Good and stylish. All eyes are on you, so pay attention to your appearance. Dress tastefully and slightly above dress code.
7. Keep a journal. Establish procedures, names of key people and contact numbers, so you'll look like a quick study.
