Preparing for the First Day
On your first day, you may spend several hours filling out paperwork in the human resources office. You will need a proof of citizenship or authorization to work in this country. This can be a passport, naturalization papers, voter registration card or other proof. A driver’s license is not sufficient in most cases. Bring your work history information if you have not filled out an application, yet. 
Have at least two emergency contact numbers. One should be someone who lives in the same town and can fetch you or accompany you to medical care. It helps if this person has your family telephone numbers, too. If you have a chronic medical condition, ask to have a letter put into your personnel folder that contains information about prescriptions and the names and telephones numbers of your healthcare providers. This information could be crucial if you are not able to give emergency personnel this information.
