How to make a great first impression? 20

[CivilTom]

This question is geared more toward senior engineers or people within management in engineering departments. How does a new grad give off a great first impression during thier first day or week at work? What would make you think "wow this candidate was a great choice I'm very happy with him"

berkshire: Yeah that's the part that scares me. I have heard the horror stories. Parking lot done wrong because it's not ADA compliant and bam rip that sucker out and start over. But I have also seen the funny side of this where they etch the construction notes into the sidewalk or stairs. Such as a circle with a number.

One of my problems is that I have a deep soft voice which sometimes people can't hear. This was made clear to me when a Landscape Architect we will be working with on a few jobs kept saying what during a lunch they took us out for. It's not as important as I am the company owner talking to other owners and we are on the same team just talking. But you always have to be critical of yourself as you present yourself to others. Something I need to work on when getting new clients.
