Relax. Smile. Be yourself. They hired you for the job so you must be exactly what they are looking for. This should give you confidence. It's ok to be nervous but be yourself. There's a reason that they hired you. Don't forget that. Good luck!

Thanks for your concern. Well, I think I kind of bored with my current job and I think I need to consider to find another one. Just in case.

There's going to be a lot to learn and to get adjusted to so don't be afraid to ask questions and to take notes. You won't be expected to know your job and they will most likely assign someone to train/advise you. You will also be meeting new people. I have found that repeating someone's name when you are introduced helps me to remember it later but I'm still not very good at it so don't be afraid to ask for someone's name again if you've forgotten it. It happens to all of us. Most of all, enjoy your first job and congratulations!

You are definitely lucky to get a job in times like this.Its must be close to 3 weeks since you have working.How are you finding the job? What about the people around? I am sure you must have made some friends by now. However difficult someone might me make it a point to say a "hello" or a "Good Morning". Try and get along with all And don't give any negative feedback to anybody. Just be yourself. At a new job people do notice your reactions. Always take interest in learning something new. If you have not understood something, clear your doubts ask questions, they won't mind since you are new unless they are very busy. If don't know something say so, don't pretend to know something even if you don't. Don't ever be late. Punctuality is expected from a new person. Its ok to be early but not late even if your seniors are late you should be there on time. I was really terrified on the first day of work.I can still remember that day. If I can be of more help do ask. All the Best for a bright future.
