1. listen to everything ur told, and ask questions when ur confused.
2. Try not to be too stressed. Everyone has experienced the "first day jitters". It's normal. You will meet a lot a people who's names you won't remember. But just smile, shake hands, if appropriate and you will get through it. It will seem very overwhelming - but a month from now, you'll know your job, be in a routing and wondering why you were so nervous. Good luck!!!
3. Because of your age and inexperience you might want to take a notepad along to take notes. It depends on what type of job you will have. Try to remember what you are told & jot down the info on a break. We all start as a new employee somewhere and the more relaxed you are the more you will remember & the better job you will do. Just be yourself - they liked you enough to hire you so don't worry about it. Just do the best you can. One of the most important things about a job is how you get along with others. Relax, enjoy yourself, make friends and check out the other job postings to see how you might make a career there.
4. cool, your gonna woork at a hospital?!?1 that sounds lie a lot of fun, i wouldn't be nervous, just be nice to everybody and youll be fine. now i have a question for you, do you get paid? cuz i though u could only volunteer at a hospital when your 16, what are doing there?
5. im 17 and i just got my first job too! im still nervous! today was the first day it's hard at first but just keep on doing it! meet people u work with, ask them questions and they'll help you out!
