[Cyberbeast]

Wow... Starting my first propper job as a junior php developer in a few hours... Is it normal to feel scared that you will not know how to do the job?

Definitely. When I started my first job i never fell asleep that night. You need time before you catch your groove.

 

[FibreOptic]

What company you working for?

No, especially if you struggle to spell two syllable words correctly...

Yes, it's normal but usually the Company will give you some sort of training.

A small tip:
Don't open accounts at all the stores, like I did. For some stupid reason I wanted my wallet full of cards so it could look fat. Dumb ass. (me not you)
Stay debt free for as long as you can.

The quicker you realise just how little you know, the quicker you'll move ahead.

Oh and when you get to work, install a spell checker on your pc

 

[evilsee]

no, you should not be scared, go forth and conquer, oh and if your boss asks you to check out something underneath his desk .... RUN!

Lol. Caught my boss's P.A like that.


Lets just say that his (now previous boss) wife didnt come around as often as she used to.
Hehe

Thought it was a typo.
Apparently not.

Of the 3 biggest things you'll save in life, changing and/or starting a new job. So hope your first day was a goodie

totally agree. don't splurge on a fancy car, don't splurge on clothes. look to spend as little of your salary as possible and try to learn to be content withwhat you have. once you start the material things race, it's hard to withdraw :/

There is no need to capitalise the word "nazi."

Just remember everybody else in the office is a moron and treat them as such.....

They're lucky to have you work for them so make sure they appreciate that too
