Securing your first job out of college is a big milestone. You're grateful and relieved but also feeling a little anxious. You're confronted by the pressures of having new faces and personalities to deal with, new territory to explore and making a good impression without looking totally clueless.
I was extremely lucky to be employed even before I graduated. It can be a tough competition out there for fresh grads so I had to make a move early on. The company took me under training for two weeks before starting the actual work. I recall spending a weekend absorbing as much information as I can about the company to alleviate some of that stress. I know it's a lot to take in but this new chapter in your career can be exciting, almost bearable when you know how to survive the first day.
