First of all, congratulations that you are going to experience paid work soon. You probably will figure out what to do during the training session. If you have more questions about this job, I believe your colleague will be happy to answer. Be confident, they hire you because you already have the quality they want. Good luck.

I hope your first day went well! Im a supervisor at my work and your new employer should go over expectations with you on the first day. All I look for in new hires is just a willingness to put in the effort, and care about doing a good job. One helpful trick in a new job is for each task, ask yourself “what would it take to do this well?” and then do that. It’s simple, and can be easier said than done sometimes, but can help you build confidence in the quality of your work. Best of luck!
