Part 2. First day in office

9.为第一天做准备

范例一：What to dress

Tomorrow will be my first day at work, what do you think I should be wearing?

Well, if you want to look professional, serious and more conservative, a blue dress, white shirt and not-too-high shoes would be the best choice. But sometimes, very formal clothes will keep you at a distance from your colleagues. It depends on the company’s dress code.

Indeed, I found most of the employees dress casually when I went to the interview. Only the manager was in suit and tie and he just came back from a ceremony. It seems that their dress code is not that formal. Probably, I should put on car key and simple shirt.

Whatever you choose, make sure they are neat and clean.

范例二：What to put in my briefcase

Do you think my briefcase is big enough to put in all these stuff?

Let me see. Laptop, flash disk, a ballpoint pen, a pencil, a notebook, a pair of glasses, cell phone, charger, moisture, notion, … Oh, that is too much. You are not going to a business trip.

I guess I need all of them.

Actually, the company will provide you with all of these supplies. So, you can leave this very thick notebook at home.

I know. But it is my lucky charm. I carry it all the time.

Suit yourself. Don’t forget to set the alarm clock.
