first job, sooo nervous.

Home More advice Jobs & Money

Tuesday is the first day im starting my first job. I'm 17 years old. I am so nervous, I'm always thinking about what if I mess up, or what if costumers get frustrated by me if I don't know something. It is at a local marina, docking boats, helping keep the scenery beautiful & working a canteen ( I'm not too quick when it comes to counting up money in my head ). Like will they have a calculator in there or a till, will they give me a hard time. what if I don't know something the tourists asks me, what if people there think of me as an amateur other than their co worker, what do I do in my spare time when I have nothing to do, I don't want to sit alone by myself, I never been so nervous for anything. Can someone tell me stories about their first job or how they felt that might make me feel at least a little bit better. Thanks :)
