Have you ever just started working in a new place, and without realizing it, people immediately start judging the way you work? This doesn't mean they are deliberately looking for mistakes, but initial impressions are often formed from small things.
How you greet, arrive on time, respond to messages, listen when other people talk, and how you complete tasks can give people an idea of who you are as a colleague. Simple things like this are sometimes seen more quickly than the abilities you write on your CV.
But don't worry, first impressions don't determine your entire career path. If the start is not good, there are still many opportunities to improve it through a consistent attitude and good work results.
So when you enter a new work environment, you don't need to try to look your best. Just show that you can be trusted, want to learn, and respect other people. From there a professional reputation usually begins to form.
