Talk about you first day at work, or in a class

  Well, I will tell you right from the start that my first day at work was a scary experience for me, because I was so nervous and scared that I couldn't perform. You see, the job that I was hired to do, namely an editor, was really not my specially. I had received no specific training, and I was worried that they would quickly discover that I had no practical experience in this job. What made things rather scary was that I arrived late. I just couldn't find the place. I left quite early, but the building that I presumed it was located in was actually not the right building. So I spent about three quarters of an hour going up and down the lift of another building that I thought it was in. When I arrived late, I had to search for the boss because he was not in the office. I felt so embarrassed that I just sort of stood there watching everyone work.

  When the boss finally came back he seemed rather amused that I looked so nervous, and that I was so apologetic about being late. He said that everyone is late for their job the first day because the address is so confusing. I was shown an office, and I was given stacks of the back issues of the magazines, and was told to use these old issues to write a report on the general patterns of the magazine outline and layout. I was surprised I was given this assignment because I just expected that he would tell me all about the layout, not actually let me find out for myself. So throughout the day I just poured through all these magazines and tried to find out the patterns and staple types of articles. Each issue was different, but there seemed to be many similarities too.

  As I watched the other colleagues work, I realized that this was an organisation that didn't fool around. People knew what they were supposed to do and everyone seemed to work well by him or herself. The boss placed a lot of trust in people to work independently. After a few hours during the end of break time I had people approach me and ask me about myself. I found the people quite funny and cheerful. They were especially interested in my level of English because they said that theirboss had told them that my English skills were quite good.

  I submitted my report about the magazine, and I felt that at the end of the day this was the kind of organisation I could become very accustomed to working for. I realized also that the purpose of having to submit a report was so I would use my own judgment about the paper, and also prepare me for ideas about how I might improve the paper. So at the end of the day I felt quite lucky that I was in the right job.
