Just like when starting school your first day in a new job can be very nerve-racking.  You may worry about whether you have taken on too much or whether you are going to get along with your work colleagues or it may be that you are worried that the job is not going to be challenging enough for you.  These are all common things that people think when starting a new job.

One way to calm the nerves is to make sure that you are fully prepared for your new job.  Decide in advance what you are going to wear on the day and make sure that it is clean and ready to wear.  Plan your route to get to work carefully and allow plenty of time for traffic, the last thing you want is to be later on your first day.

Try and arrive a little early on your first day to allow you to familiarise yourself with the setting.  If possible make yourself a drink and have a quick chat with your new work colleagues.  Introduce yourself and take some time to find out who they are more their role is within the company.
