my dream job is to be a lawyer but I don't much detail about it yet and I haven't done much research on it yet but it is not any worry to me at this moment in time since I'm very young and have a good amount of time to get that figured out.

Harmit’s Answer

Hello Giada! Know that on the first day of the job, you're never going to know everything or be fully successful with everything you do. Everyone knows you're learning and everyone has had a first day. Keep your mind open, ask lots of questions, and know that it's ok to make mistakes! Don't be afraid to ask any questions either. It's better to ask questions and communicate as it shows employers that you're invested in learning, improving, and growing with them. You'll do great!

PwC’s Answer

Hi! Congrats on your first job! You must feel very anxious, nervous, and a variety of other feelings. That's all normal! First things first, take a deep breath. It'll all work out. Trust me, I've been there and it does get easier. Remember you're just starting. The job does not expect you to know everything in on day. Just take a deep breath, meditate, and ask questions as you go along with the work. Focus on what your job is and why you do it, and take every task one at a time and doing each more efficiently. Have faith and trust yourself! You'll do amazing! :)
