The first day is very important, as it will be our calling card with our colleagues and superiors, and we will want to make a good first impression. In addition, the first day enable us to understand roughly how the operation of the company or project, how we should act within this new space or stakeholders, and how we can achieve adapt to our new tasks in the office.

There are a lot of post and articles about how we should dress, how start an elevator conversation, things to do and don’t do.

But each of us is different, then how do you feel the first day?

Describe only in 3 words.

Hey, thank you for your answers, but from my point of view scope or listen aren't feelings. Let's struggle a little more :) and try share your feelings.

Frankly speaking, I used to feel stressful, nervous but excited to say "hi". Three words might not be enough to cover all the feelings but I will go with "stressful", "nervous" and "excited".
