It’s your first day

Your first day at work can be as daunting as your first interview. You may experience mixed emotions of nervousness and excitement which is completely natural.

How to prepare:

1. Get a good nights rest, so that you are refreshed and on the ball for your first day.

2. Dress appropriately for the type of job you are starting.

3. If you have not already done so, return your signed Employment Contract to your supervisor.

4. Take a notepad and pen with you, so that you write down any instructions, computer log-ins etc.

5. Generally, your first day will be some type of orientation day to get you familiar with the offices and the people you will be working with. Don’t be afraid to ask as many questions as you need to.

6. Be relaxed, friendly and enthusiastic. Show that you are happy to be there and are keen to get into the job.
