Involve yourself and ask if there is anything you need to know and review before your first day. This will allow you to better affiliate yourself at work and engage well with your coworkers and superiors.
2. Take initiative

But once you are more settled in and adjusted to your new job, take initiative and go the extra mile. Take on extra tasks and responsibilities even if it is out of your job description. Be the kind of person people would ask help from. It would prove you to be responsible and engaging and set you up for great opportunities at work.
