Make punctuality a priority.
Arriving late for work or meetings sends the message to your supervisor and coworkers that you don’t care about your job, and if it affects them, that you don’t value their time. Keep an eye on the time. If necessary, set alarms. Arrive at least a few minutes early for your first shift and return from your breaks on schedule.
Don’t Be a Whiner
When you arrive at work, leave your bad mood at the door. We all have days where we don’t feel well. Remember not to vent your frustrations on your employer, coworkers, or customers.
Appropriate attire
Your appearance should always be nice and clean, whether you have to dress up for work or may wear more casual attire. A wrinkled suit is no more appealing than a ripped pair of pants. Select the appropriate attire for your workplace. If there isn’t one, choose clothing that is appropriate for your workplace.
Keep Your Mouth Shut
In most businesses, swearing, cursing, or cussing—whatever you choose to call it—has no place. If you don’t know if it’s okay in yours, don’t use vulgar language, especially if people you might offend are present. Here’s a good rule of thumb to remember: don’t say anything at work that you wouldn’t say to your grandmother.
