Got any for me?
I’m not as nervous as I was my first day of my first job. But I am worried I won’t meet quota (which isn’t required for newcomers)

Good night’s sleep. That’s the most important thing for me. Maybe write people’s names down so you remember them people like it when you use there name and you know what they say about first impression. congratulations

Lots of jobs don’t expect you to learn everything the first day and they know that the first day can be a difficult day. Lots of jobs have a learning curve and they will cut you some slack. They know you might make mistakes, its par for the course. On my first days I try to be friendly and eager and I ask questions. But not TOO many questions. It might be a little stressful but you will have breaks and a lunch break to relax and rest and renergize.
Your co-workers will most likely be friendly to the new person and they might even try to help you and make you feel comfortable and at ease. Most people are more forgiving and patient then we give them credit for. Yeah, get a good nights sleep, get up and take a shower, dress appropriately, eat breakfast and give yourself plenty of time to get there. Allow, enough time to get there in case there’s traffic, or the bus is late or however you are going to get there.
This job has invested time in you and they want to help you succeed. They are not against you, they are on your side. Just do your best and you will probably enjoy yourself. Good luck.
