Hey Bradley,
It was quite tough starting a new job, I suppose just like when you went from primary to high school , but there were lots of people there to help me and I started with a group of graduates, so there were a few of us in the same boat!
One tricky thing for me was that we use a lot of acronyms used in my industry, so it was like learning a new language! You very quickly pick it up though and soon end up speaking the same “language”!

Exactly like Stuart, you are scared and don’t know anyone, but you soon learn your way around and become friends with everyone 😉

Scary but exciting! It’s always scary starting a new part of your life, and with new people, going from primary school to secondary, or to college, or uni, starting anew job is just the same. Most of the time though you start with a group of people – either on apprenticeship scheme or a graduate scheme, so you have your “class” who all come in together and learn about your new environment together, so that really helps. But I found everyone was really friendly and helpful, and it doesn’t take long before you just feel like you’re one of the team!

Except for my internship, I had never worked for a company before. So I was really nervous about starting the job! I didn’t know what my work exactly would be like, if I would be able to accomplish the tasks ask of me, if I would get along with my coworkers, and I was really shy, … Luckily my coworkers are really comforting and helped me where they could (and we also went to a pub the first week I worked there so I got to know them better as well). My company provides training in the course of the project so that I could gain knowledge in the areas which weren’t my strongest (and I agree with Stu – you need to learn a “new language”).
