Congratulations! You’ve successfully received an invitation to be part of an organization. You should pat yourself on the back and motivate yourself for your new career path right in front you.

Before you dive into your first day at work, there are a few things you should keep in mind for making the best possible impression. You want to set yourself up for success 5, 10, and 20-years down the line, and here are 5 ways to ensure it:

1. Be a Team Player: Millennials sometimes get a reputation for being a selfish generation. Be the person everyone wants to work with at your new job. By making friends and professional connections, you’ll give yourself options for years to come.
2. Surpass Expectations: As a new employee, you’re going to mess up. That is perfectly fine! Surpass your boss’ expectations by getting back up and trying again without losing the smile on your face.
3. Be Innovative: Think outside the box! Just because your organization is structured a certain way doesn’t mean things can’t change. If you discover a new way to do something, show your boss. It’ll demonstrate your enthusiasm.
4. Help Your Colleagues: Though you may be working diligently to get to the top, that doesn’t mean you don’t have time to help everyone else along the way. Slow down and support your coworkers. Nothing is more attractive to an employer.
5. Discreetly Promote Yourself: No one likes an egomaniac. However, no one else is going to toot your horn for you. That is entirely up to you. Subtly acknowledge your accomplishments to your boss every so often. Be sure they’re reminded.
