There are a lot of people on my feed starting new jobs and internships today, so here's a list of my favorite tips for starting a new position:
ASK QUESTIONS! Ask all the questions. Nobody expects you to know everything on day 1.
Meet your coworkers, even if it's just via chat. Having a buddy is helpful.
Practice self-care before and after work! A new job can be overwhelming. Don't forget to take care of yourself.

It's easy to fall into a trap of trying to prove yourself from the start, which means you might try to change or improve processes that have been set for a long time. Take time to learn the current role before trying to change how things have been.
Lastly, now's a great time to begin recording every small win as you start a new position. It'll be a great resource when discussing a raise or promotion. It's also a nice record to see your progress when impostor syndrome strikes.
Congratulations on the new position!
