I start my first job today, I'm so nervous.?

Question

So todays my first day working at this one upper class fast food restaurant....and i'm worried. I want my co-workers and boss to like me, but i'm pretty shy and I don't want to come off as annoying. Also, sinse it's my first day, i'm not sure how I should actually get behind the counter where the workers are....like... do I stop at the counter first.....or do i just walk right back in there? Also how can i make a good impression....I look like a dork in my outfit.....the hats you have to wear look aweful on me....ugh

Answer 1

I am sure none of your co-workers will think bad of you because of the hat - they all have to wear them I presume?

Through a few bad experiences, I have learned that it is smart to keep a low profile on your first few days in a new job. Get a feel of how the people dynamics are.

About the counter, hopefully you are lucky and you see someone quickly whom you can ask how to get in. Otherwise, I would walk back in there but not too fast. Don't think it would make a good impression if you walk in there like you own the place.

Hope this helps. Good luck on your new job!

Answer 2

Just be yourself.  There were countless others who went through what you are going through.  Don't worry about impressing others.  Give your best and results will be just fine.  Remember whatever happens it's not the end of the world.  You can always improve and do better.

Answer 3

New jobs are always soooo stressful!  Make a good impression by being eager and energetic.  They realize it takes some time to learn the routine.  As for getting in the door...I'd say go in whatever entrance is the most comfortable for you...someone will direct you to the right place.  Don't worry about the dorky hats, no one pays attention to them anyway!  Good luck!!
