What Should a Newcomer Be Able to Do by Friday?

A first week of onboarding can be full of introductions, links, and instructions—and still leave someone unsure how to begin the actual work.

What would make the difference for you: one task completed alongside a colleague, a clear example to follow, a named person to ask, or something else? I’m curious which small piece of practical support helps a newcomer take the next step independently, rather than just absorb more information.
