I finally found a job. My first job!

I'm so happy and nervous at the same time. What if I can't perform to their standards? Are they gonna fire me?


ughhh the stress is killing me.

Congratulations!

Don't sweat it, just absorb the experience and do your best. If you get fired, the world won't end. For now, don't worry about how it might end, just focus on learning to do it well.

Jobs can end for all sorts of reasons, many having nothing to do with an individual's performance. Sometimes the company changes ownership, or has to downsize for fiscal reasons. Sometimes you end up working with a manager who's just a d*ck. Still, every job is experience that you can pay forward into the next job. Its all useful, even when its not pleasant. But who knows, you may love the first one, and end up owning the joint someday. Good luck!

Congratulations! : )

Don't worry, just look and listen and try to relax. You will probably do just fine.

What job is it?

I'm working as a tutor.


@Avengilante: I know that's not such a big deal if I get fired but for some reason I'm still reallllllly nervous.
