First job advice

Starting any new job can be scary, but perhaps nothing is more             (FRIGHTEN) than starting your first job ever. Here's some advice for you at the very beginning of your career.

Firstly, what you need to remember is that you are likely to start your working life at the very bottom. You can expect to be doing rather repetitive and less             (CHALLENGE) work initially, but it's important to show a high level of               (DETERMINE) to do the job well and learn as much as you can. Your colleagues will notice if you have a bad attitude.

Secondly, your new career will probably be nothing like school or university. You will need to prove that you are          (RELY) and can be trusted to turn up on time and cope with           (DEMAND) amounts of work. You don't want to get fired after the first week because you can't organise your new life.

Thirdly, it's a good idea to ask questions and be open to learning from colleagues with more experience than you. Also, don't be too             (COMPETE) and be sure to pay attention to the things that people tell you.
