I know the job and industry well and it won’t be new to me. It’s the new people and new place that gives me anxiety. Will I fit in? Do you feel the same way too when you start a new job or new school on your first day? What do you do the night before? Thanks loves for your kind words! 💕
Work hard, be respectful and take it one day at a time. Good luck.
Good luck and kudos for trying something new

Starting a new job can be nerve-wracking, even for experienced professionals. It's natural to feel anxious about meeting new people and adjusting to a new environment, but remember that you were hired for a reason and that you have the skills and experience necessary for this job.
It's important to focus on the positive aspects of this new opportunity, such as the chance to learn and grow in your career, meet new people, and make an impact in your role. Remember that everyone has to start somewhere, and that it's okay to make mistakes and ask for help when you need it.
To help calm your nerves the night before, try to get plenty of rest and engage in activities that help you relax, such as reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing meditation or deep breathing exercises. Also, make sure to prepare everything you'll need for your first day, such as your outfit, lunch, and any necessary documents or materials.
Finally, remember that you are not alone in feeling anxious about starting a new job. Many people experience similar feelings, and it's important to be kind to yourself and take things one step at a time. You've got this, and I believe in you also your Heavenly Father does as well and guide you through! Good luck on your first day!
Let the new crew identify themselves to you. You'll figure out whom you mesh with, and how, in short order. I get uneasy every time a new / different store borrows me. Especially if it's an old, familiar store but has a new manager. Different managers, different styles. Different coworkers.
And most have their personality ticks. I can get along with most of them, but there will always be that one that I wouldn't want to take anywhere outside of work.
Focus on the operational, and let the social come to you. Don't try to force the action or the framework.
To the higher-ups, let your work ethic and knowledge stand out. To your true equals, let your punctuality and efficiency do the talking. To the petty and small, especially those who come at you about relationships as if it were still high school, drop subtle hints that you can have almost any man you want, and that men online would practically get in a mile-long line for the chance to be with you. But don't rub it in too often.
If they say something like: "Ugly chick, whatchya doin'?" and it's not sarcasm, be like: "Oh, just checking up on that one machinimator that wants to make out with me, and that other who said I had nothing to be nervous about. Also, just got a text from some fling from forever ago, wondering what I've been doing since."
Then they might be like "you hoe!" And you can respond with: "And?" Unless they're psychotic, that will usually disarm them.
But unless you have to routinely deal with bullies, then I can't think of too many other things that could go wrong.
There's a reason why police regularly visit where I work. I'm always just one psycho customer away from needing them!
Pinay don’t play ☝️😁 you’re SO likable.
It will be a “walk in a new national park.” 😁🙌😁 Enjoy the views and focus on your destination (s).
Life is too short for any of us to focus on just being liked- BUT
if you must, you’re are extremely likable and convey your thoughts/ express yourself, in ways, with such finesse. I have no doubts you will make that work environment work to suit you! 💯
Slay sis!
There's a man by the name of Dr Joe Dispenza that preaches about aligning with the future you want to see. Essentially, picture how you want the day to go, and maintain that thought throughout the day. As you do that, your body will naturally align with your thoughts. It's exactly how anxiety works when you think about it, except in this way, you take control of the mechanism that creates your anxiety, and make it work for you, instead of against you. So, tomorrow will go great, you'll get in there, and be releived that it was much less stressful that you thought it would be. People were more friendly than you could have imagined, your boss was happy to see you, and you even made a friend.. And to think you were nervous on your first day.. Happy great First Day.
You'll be fine. Seriously. Really. You'll be fine. Did I say you'll be fine?
Look, you have a heck of a lot more life experience than you did when you were 24. While you might not feel confident in this specific thing, you probably have far more confidence in life in general. You've dealt with a lot worse crap in your life. This will be a piece of cake in comparison.
This might be slightly out of your comfort zone, but you'll adapt very quickly. Charge forward.
After 17 years. You bring a wealth of experience. Regardless of what happens hold your head high. Be friendly, but know what you're bringing to the table. You've earned respect. Demand it! And know if they're not smart enough to give you it someone else can and will benefit from your expertise.
First off congrats on your new job!😊🥳
It is perfectly normal to be nervous which in fact is a good sign because it means you got something you value that you don't want to ruin. So act confident, be nice and never let anyone run over you. If someone says something condasending/rude just ask them politely to repeat what they said. Other than that just be nice and be yourself.
Good luck!
u 
You’re going to be great…you’re one of the nicest people I know…you’re intelligent and able to adapt…you got this, girl…! 😘💕
i'd be well hydrated and on my meds for 3 days without skips. no drinking or drugs. lots of exercise like walking. if i was still nervous i'd pick out an outfit and watch a positive movie on the subject of your job to make you dream better.
I started a new job last July. I did not think I would ever get hired again. Just think about all your past experiences and try to remember the last time that you started a new job. It will seem unfamiliar at first but as time goes by you will learn people's names and learn your new job. After a few months it will seem like you have been there forever.
Instead of being nervous, BE EXCITED! New people, new relationships, new opportunities , new challenges! You'll feel more alive! What a GREAT TIME you're going to have! ENJOY EVERY MINUTE! YOUVE EARNED IT! CONGRATULATIONS!
Its completely normal to feel a bit 'lost' when you start a new job. Don't let it get to you, very soon you will be comfortable and fitting in.
Think and remain positive. Be confident, not cocky and be open minded to new terminology, methods and processes/procedures.
You can do this! Good luck to you!
You can do it but you hands in to it lol. Good luck, feel sure of yourself and get this 💪 job done.
Well it was yesterday so im sure u got this. Good luck on your 2nd day
Have another job put in place and if gets to the point where the managers are abusing their power put in a 2wks notice and leave a review. You're time is worth more than how they treat you. Life is too short to deal with that BS. And keep job hunting and remind yourself when the doors are closed another one somewhere.
First impressions are EVERYTHING so make the most of it while you can:) I know I have a knack of being consumed by observation / analysis & must remind myself constantly not to get like this or I withdraw to analyze. 85% of communication is nonverbal so be more aware of what you're conveying. Expect good thing will happen, if you believe it changes your entire mind set.
I can’t give you advice because I been working for long that I don’t want to go back lol
Go in with a positive attitude and you will be just fine.
I'm sure you'll be fine. But if you really think you need advice I'd say be there early, be mentally ready for anything and start as you mean to go on. And don't take shit from anyone.
