I’m a bit nervous because it’s my first “real” job. I’ve previously worked remotely without much interaction with people

Here are some tips for starting your first office job and managing relationships:

- Be friendly to everyone - say hi in the hallway, learn people's names. Even if you don't directly work with some folks, being nice goes a long way.

- Dress professionally. Pay attention to what others wear to get a feel for the dress code. You want to look put together.

- Listen more than you talk at first. Get a sense of people and office dynamics before speaking up a ton.

- Don't gossip or complain about others. Keep conversations positive.

- Offer to help coworkers if you see they're swamped with work. Teamwork is important.

- Watch how senior staff interact with their bosses/each other and try to mirror that.

- Set boundaries if people want to friend you on social media. Keep things work-appropriate.

- Be on time and don't call in sick too much at first if you can help it. Reliability matters.

- Ask questions if you're unsure of things! People will appreciate that you want to learn.

Just be friendly, work hard, and ask for help if you need it. The nerves will fade fast once you settle into things. You've got this!

Adopt a professional demeanor. There are co-workers not friends.
