Oooh and as in every plane... fly on the attitude!!!

These general rules apply for the 757 and you can't go far wrong:

6° at 210 kts
3° at 250 kts
+ 0,5° more up if you do steep turns at either speed.

8° at Initial Approach/Flaps 5 - 170 kts
4° at Int App/Flap 20 - 150 kts
2° at ILS Gear down/Flap 30 - 135-140 kts.

found some more stuff for you from my assesment:
- Although big and heavy - hydraulics! smooth and gentle!
- Use the VSI!!! It's magic!!! It tells you what is happening before the Altimeter does!
- Use the TRIM!!! A wise man once said: "Relax - Trim - Think - Act"

And finally, good luck, and be yourself!!!
