Congrats dear!
Do whatever can make you change your mind. These things can include - Shopping for new clothes to wear at your job? Watch your fav movie? Dine out at your fav restaurant. Pamper your self and make yourself top of the world. Go for Spa? These all things will make you relax your nerves. When you go to the work for first time, try and feel confident and relax. Nothing much happens on the first day at work and infact in some org’s nothing much happen during first few weeks coz of training schedule etc. Also try and make new friends at work- talk to them and have coffee. Trust me it would be fun and last but not least- don’t think too much.
Hope this helps and all the best for your new job!

Go for a run or whatever exercise you can do. Push yourselfd til you're exhausted then have a long bath with bubbles and nice music and go to bed early so you wake up nice and relaxed in plenty of time. make sure you plan how you're getting there and what you're going to wear so that there is nothing to worry about in the morning. You got through the interview so if you don't shine on your first day you'll have another chance to make a great impression the next day, tehy obviosly WANT to work with you. good luck.

Try to relax - not easy I know. Get some Kalms from Boots, have an early night and try to sleep well.
It might help to realise that you are obviously the best person for the job - otherwise you wouldn't have got it!
Have a look at the link below - it might be a bit "American" but it's got some useful hints and tips on it.
Good luck, I hope it goes really well and that you're really happy there. xxxxxx

I had the same thing six months ago. You just have to ride it out. You applied for the job for a reason, you got the job for a reason and everyone you will working with would have gone through the same thing as you. In six months time you will look back and think "What was all the worry about"

Being nervous is natural. I always try not to make big mistakes and let the little ones slide by. Remember your new and have to adapt to working with new people and there ways. In a couple of weeks it will be old hat.

After the first day you will less nervous and by the end of the week things should be great. It is just your first day jitters-I went thru it and the people you will be working with probably did too. They should understand and make you feel welcome
