starting a new job when you’re working remotely

It’s the Thursday “ask the readers” question. A reader writes:

I’ve just accepted my very first job offer and should be starting in a few weeks’ time. The job will be 100% remote due to COVID and I’ve been informed that the office won’t be re-opening until January at the earliest. Do you and/or your readers have any tips for my first few days and weeks? On the positive side, I know exactly how to find the bathroom and where the coffee is kept, but I’m worried it’s going to be much more difficult to forge relationships and learn office norms. I also graduated before COVID kicked off so I’m not even used to studying remotely.

Readers, what’s your advice?
