Please help me, life seniors
My first day at work is finally this Thursday. I've already prepared all the necessary documents. But as the first day approaches, I'm worried about what to wear, what to bring, and what I should know beforehand on the first day. Especially since it's my first job, I'm concerned about making mistakes and acting awkwardly due to nervousness on the first day... I'm posting this to get advice from experienced people on things that are good to prepare before your first day or tips that are good to know for the first day. I'm also curious about how those who were nervous before their first day, like me, prepared for it.

Finally, your first day of work! You've worked so hard, Mumu! You might be nervous, but if you just keep being diligent like always, you'll definitely do great. A neat outfit is enough for the first day, you got this!

Your first job must be exciting and worrying at the same time. As for work attire, it's hard to give advice without knowing the nature of the workplace, whether it's office or field work, as it depends on the environment. However, a modest look would probably be best^^ On your first day, make sure to smile and greet everyone warmly. And it might be good to bring at least some basic stationery~~

As the person above said, it would be best to go with a clean shirt or knitwear and slacks for now. It seems better to bring a notepad and a ballpoint pen to show you're eager to learn. Don't forget to pack a portable toothbrush set so you can brush your teeth after lunch! Good luck on your first day!!

Rather than trying to do anything specific, just smiling a lot and greeting people well is the best.

Wow, congrats on the new job! You must be super nervous for your first day, but I think you're more likely to make mistakes if you're too tense. Sometimes, showing a bit of nervousness can be seen positively by your seniors, so I hope you don't worry too much because everything will go smoothly. It'll all work out!

I'm a middle schooler so I'm too young to give advice, and I haven't even started my first job. I'm your junior in life, but from what I know, if you greet people enthusiastically, most will be nice to you lollll And smiling 😄😄😄 🤗🤗🤗

Your outfit depends on the job... but business casual is usually safe. As mentioned above, a notepad and writing utensils! And personal hygiene! Clean clothes!!

It's just going to be the same day over and over. It won't be any different just because it's your first time. Don't stress about it.

Showing initiative in everything you do and striving not to repeat mistakes is the way to be loved, right? I think it's also important to constantly ask your direct supervisor if they need help, even if you have nothing else to do. It's better to find something to do than to just stand around, isn't it? Tidying up, cleaning your surroundings, etc. If there's no work, humility and lowering yourself should be the basics, right? If you consistently act with positivity and initiative, you'll be well-liked.

The absolute basics... keeping your word on time... Never be late. Being late on your first day as a new employee is a horrifying thought... If you keep your time commitments and greet people well, you've already accomplished half of social life.. ^^

You might feel nervous and anxious on your first day, but it's not as big of a deal as you think lololol When I see new employees arrive, arriving about 5 minutes before the official start time somehow makes them look more put-together 😎 You don't need to arrive super early, just about 5-10 minutes!! lol As for clothes, since it's your first job, you might not have a feel for it yet, but you got a slight sense of the company atmosphere during your interview, right! If you recall how the employees were dressed then, you'll get a general idea ㅎㅎ Neat and tidy is best 👍🤭 Have a great first day at work!! You got this 🙌
