My first day of work after two years unemployed

i assume you are 4 days in now, how are you getting on? I went back to work after being jobless for a year. I was very lucky to get a job where i was because i was being very picky about getting a job to increase the chances of me sticking at it. Local enough for me to get a taxi if im late, above minimum wage, different shifts every week... So when i get anoyed at work i remind myself how lucky i am to have this job. I wasn't really that scared on my first day, more excited. Just a little nervous about remembering everyones names and not being accidently ignorant or forgetfull. And yes i agree, its an amaizing feeling finally getting back into work and earning the monies :)

Hey - great job! I know the feeling, first day back and 21st century technology stares you in the face and you "gulp". It wont take long to get into the groove though. Keep plugging away and dont be afraid to ask questions or go for help. Nothing is more upsetting to bosses than ton have something messd up because you experimented instead of getting assistance. No one's ever been fired for getting help. You'll do fine! :-D

Congratulations on your new job! You will get back to the old routine in no time. Just keep plugging away at it. You gave me a twinge of fear at the thought that I may be getting a bit rusty too. My hope is that I can find something that will challenge me and not leave me feeling as if I lack knowledge.

It's good to know your first day went so well, and that you're working with nice people. I'll be starting next week on an internship sort of thing, which may or may not lead to something more secure. It seems kind of like the probation period the new employees at universities go through. I am nervous and worried about the technology, but still think celebrations are in order this weekend. Cheers!

It's just the first-day blues you're going through, but don't worry, recycledgoth. You'll get the hang of it soon enough. Anything new is a little off-putting and before you know it you'll get used to the routine and the new technology. Good luck!

HEY first of all congraulation and dont worry its your day and iam sure its going to be tough day ..dont worry about whether u will cope with changes ..surely you will ..iam sure it will be tough but as you know one things " never shame of learning and be flexible "

I haven't worked for anyone in 5 years. I have been self employed. I think if I had to go back, I would be a little nervous with the new technologies and regulations. I don't know if I would really enjoy it, as I like staying home too much. But, I am happy for you, so congratulations dear. I wish you the very best.

Congratulations on your new job! I'm sure you'll settle in fine, you obviously have a very positive outlook. Nice one :-)

i'm very glad to inform that recycledgoth(730) has joined a job after two years unemployed.I also want to inform you that it is 6 days gone i have joined a new job.I am very happy about my job.The office environment is so well for me & the work is so simple for me.Although I have joined 6 days ago but i have learned 70% of my office work & i wish rest will be make up very soon.Actually i enjoying my office work.I fell so relax returning my work.Always i think when i would be able to purse 100% office work!

you should not under estimate a person.. there will be bad times.. learning from mistakes is the key ..all the best...

I've been thinking about retiring more sooner than later, but I'm afraid that I would begin to feel like a "useless lump". Its wonderful to have a sense of purpose and a reason to get out of bed in the morning. I'm very happy for you and wish you much success.

Coincidentally I too was jobless for two years. But returning to work was like a fresh air after a period of staleness. However, it was also difficult for me because most of the employees were in their early twenties and I was nearly thirty when I started. But now I've learned to adjust well.

Yes I would be glad to go back to work because at least the bills would be getting paid. I would feel a little nervous going back to work. Yes there is sometime that you have to cope with new technology but i would love getting back ahead. I feel great right now i have been unemployed for 3 to 4 weeks and I am looking and it is hard because no days a lot of places are looking for the strong working people. I will be glad to go back to work and make the hard making money and keeping the bill collector off your back.

Congratulations on completing your first day. I am very happy for you, if not a little envious. I was away from the work force for quite a number of years and after when I started back I was shaking like a leaf. It wasn't so difficult to learn the new technology, a few different switches on the phones and the photo copiers but the person who was showing me the ropes was very kind and patient. However, now that I have once again given up working, I don't know if I would ever have the courage to go through it all again.

Well, I stayed unemployed for two months about two years ago and it was great to come back to work. I had to learn new computer techniques in the first months but then I started working at full time.

First ,congratulations!But I'm afraid that I could responde your question for I haven't got that experience.
