The first few days of a new job are the period when an employee feels most "lost," after all, dealing with new professional relationships, different procedures and activities, at a new pace, is not easy. Doing well in the first few days of work is fundamental to leaving a good impression on the company and superiors.

Here are 4 tips that Business Insider has selected to help you in this new career start:

1. Build relationships
Typically, people expect to be introduced to the company by a colleague or their direct supervisor. However, this introduction is usually quick and of little relevance to the team.
According to Business Insider, it's precisely at this early stage that you should invest in networking. The advice is simple: get noticed, but without drawing excessive attention (and being labeled a "nuisance" on the team). Sending an email to close colleagues introducing yourself or simply saying "it was a pleasure to meet you" can sound discreet and polite.

2. Show enthusiasm for the role.
No matter how uninteresting the position or salary may be, or if you joined the company aiming for higher positions, don't let it show in the first few days. Demonstrating too much ambition can end up undervaluing your current role, which reflects very poorly. Therefore, instead of asking about the possibility of changing positions or departments, show enthusiasm for the role, a desire to learn your tasks, and how to perform them in the best way possible.

3. Know when to ask (and when to take a risk)
New activities always bring insecurities. Asking questions shows that you are willing to learn, but it's also necessary to take risks and try some procedures on your own. This conveys confidence to your colleagues and superiors.
To avoid forgetting how a particular activity or process works, always keep a notepad or notebook on your desk to take notes when someone is teaching you. Even if you still miss something, don't bombard the training instructor with questions at spaced intervals; use the same notebook to write down the most important issues (those you can't solve on your own).

4. Learn to be the "role model" professional.“
Understanding how the work environment functions is paramount to standing out. In every office, there's someone admired – whether it's the one who gets along with everyone, the best-dressed, the most efficient, or a bit of everything. Knowing how to identify this person's behavior within the team can bring you closer to everyone and lessen the feeling of being out of place. After all, anyone who thinks a bad first impression is easy to change is mistaken.
