Today is my first day of work at a fast food place and i'm really nervous. Please help?

Your first step is to BE EARLY! Not 'on time'.

You will most likely go through some briefing before you actually start working.

First impressions are important. Act the way you want them to see you as because no matter how long you work there, they will remember you for being that.

Always carry a pen and something small to take notes on. When they show you around, it all the things they will be telling you will go by quick and after your introduction process, they will let you work independently and you don't want to be confused on what to do. Take your notes. But of course do not be afraid to ask questions. You just don't want to be the kind of person who keeps asking the same question 3 or 4 times because you 'keep forgetting'.

Since you are going to be in fast food, avoid habits (if you have) like touching your face/hair, scratching your nose/arms, touching things around you, leaning on counters. Your body language shows a lot.

I hope this helps.

Relax, listen and learn. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and don’t feel bad when you make a mistake. Everyone needs time to learn their job. It’s not the mistake that matters, it’s how you recover and move on that matters.

By now your first day ismover and you survived like all others with a first day.

Hi... everyone is nervous their first day of work, so you're normal. You'll have someone teaching you what to do and working with you to show you your specific job and what it entails. They won't leave you on your own until you're a bit confident about the tasks you're going to do at work. It will be a matter of days or even a week

Take a deep breath, smile, and go to work! Good luck with the job (by the way they have pretty good milkshakes!)

Take it one day at a time. You're not going to get everything down packed the first day. Hell... maybe not the first two weeks. But if you arrive on time, behave accordingly to work standards, and show you're willing to learn. Then you should be fine

Don't mention the food poisoning outbreak they had in 1993.

Yeah, just do what you are told. It is not rocket science.

You're going to spend the majority of the day observing and learning the basics. So don't worry about it.
