Before you start/ the very first steps

First of all: please note that you only required to take care of STEP 1-3 of the below steps before your first day.

3. Create a Google Account/ Email. Contact Rachel from your university email account (to avoid being classified Spam), explaining that you are starting in the group, when your will start, what your future role will be and stating that you need permissions and if applicable, a laptop. Include the adress of your new Google Account in the email and your IDM. You don't need to add more information, Rachel will know what to do. 
   It is recommended to create a new Google Account/ Email adress for work-related purposes to ensure a work-life-balance.
