When you first get hired, Taylor says there's a tendency to still be in "sales mode," where you want to continue to prove that you deserve your job. She says new hires fall into the trap of wanting to over impress their boss and coworkers, sometimes by coming in earlier than everyone else and leaving after everyone else is gone.
Taylor says working too long will burn you out quickly, and set a bad precedent for the future. For instance, if you start coming in later after showing up early for the first week, your coworkers will think you are slacking.
"You should demonstrate a strong work ethic within reasonable boundaries when you start your job," she says.
