Career Tip #1: Move that desk

One of the best pieces of advice I got (from a former managing editor) that I have used at nearly every place I've been is (loose paraphrase):

Whenever you start a new job, move your desk. Change up your office somehow. This helps to break a stereotype embedded in that office before you got there.

In other words ... you're starting fresh and want people to attach certain labels and perceptions based on you and your work ethic, style, direction, goals,
etc.
