I wish someone had told me that just because someone is older or more experienced than you, their advice won't always be right for you. It's easy to look at someone you admire, or someone in your dream job, and internalize their advice to you as rules to follow.

First day ? Know your colleagues. Figure out what the company does, what's on going. Where and how does the company make money. Who is your boss reporting to. Organization. Your assignment, and who else has same and similar assignments. Got to coffee with colleagues, and listen. Get your workstation ready. Sort out software available. Where us the washroom. How do they pay you ? Health insurance. That should be a full day.
The best preparation is to do nothing and relax. You will given no responsibility. There will be no pressure put on you. Enjoy it. Be attentive and ask questions. One cannot tailor make an experience, you have to know for yourself first.
