Congratulations.
Landing the job was the hardest part of entering the job market. Wake up early, take a shower. If you're a gal go easy on the makeup and don't use an overwhelming perfume. If you're a guy shave and go easy on the after shave.
Dress for the job. Eat a good breakfast and plan to get to work five to 10 minutes early.
Have a smile on your face, be alert and respond when people come over to you and introduce themselves. Try to mentally remember names and use the name when you talk to that individual.
Pay attention to what is being said. You'll have a lot of new things coming at you real fast. Stay focused. Don't be afraid to ask questions. That's part of the learning process.
You're there to do a job and your new employer wants you to succeed. That comes from learning how to do your job the right way.
Avoid hanging out around the water cooler and standing around doing nothing. And don't let the first question out of your mouth be "When do we go on break?"
Don't worry about the first day jitters. They'll fade away quickly and you'll really begin to perk up when you get that first pay check.
And just think - you only have to keep working for the next 50 years.
Good Luck!!!

if u know what ur doin then go in actin like the boss. if not which is most likely since it's ur first job and do nothing. watch everyone else and observe very closely whats going on. come back the second day with some new ideas and a new perspective on how they do things. be the innovator. it may take more than one day but if u keep on observing what could make things better u will be the boss.

Listen a lot, it will all come to you in time.
Just be yourself,they must have seen something in you or they wouldn't have hired you.
Start putting money into a retirement account as soon as it is available to you.
Good Luck!
